Rescue Angels - Borewell Rescue Mechanism

A borewell is a deep, narrow hole drilled into the ground from which water is drawn through a pipe and pump. Borewells are typically small in diameter — ranging from 4.5 inches to 12 inches.

There are approximately 27 million borewells in India. Out of these, many are legal but most of them are illegal and the government has no accurate data of the numbers and locations of these borewells. Most of the borewells are still working and the water is being drawn while others have dried out and have been closed.

Among them, mostly in the rural areas there is a tendency that these Borewells are left unattended and uncovered, due to which mostly little children fall into these. The NDRF - National Disaster Response Force is then requisitioned for the rescue of these kids. Thus the NDRF unit wants to design an indigenous compact system which may include all the hardware and software and thus help in saving the lives.

Currently the NDRF unit doesn’t have any specialized equipment for the rescue operations and the methodology they adopt is as per the situation. Presently NDRF is using a combination of tools/equipments for Borewell rescue, which involves J-Hook, Cloth Bucket, Magic Ball, Pendant Jhula and Umbrella Tool. All these tools are improvised in nature and have been tested in different scenarios.

What they want is a mechanical system that can
a) help in effectively handling the Borewell Rescue operations
b) minimize the time spent in planning and executing the plan
c) rescue the child in lesser time which will increase the percentage of success.

This is where we come up with our Borewell Rescue Mechanism - the Rescue Angel
