New Delhi: A group of four Kashmiri girls, studying engineering in a Punjab college, claim to have developed an Android application that will help their institution become a paper-free campus.
The girls, pursuing an engineering degree course in Aryans College of Engineering near Chandigarh, said official notices and other communication meant for students can be accessed by students of the institution from the app instead of checking the paper notices.
The students Rumaisa, Zeenat, Sadiya and Yusra, all Bachelor of Technology students at Aryans are from the Kashmir Valley. They developed the app under the guidance of their teachers, especially head of department, projects, Manpreet Mann.
"Notices intended for students belonging to the college will be uploaded in students' login. This has eliminated the need of notice boards in the college. All the official notices for the staff will be uploaded in the staff login.
"The outsiders will be able to see all the necessary information about Aryans Group of Colleges and the updates about the events happening in the college," the girls told media here.
Called the 'Aryans Android App', it can be downloaded on mobiles having Android version 2.3 and above.
Complimenting the students for developing the app, Aryans Group of Colleges chairman Anshu Kataria said the students would be encouraged further for technological development.
Kataria announced that the college has decided to sanction an amount of Rs.1 lakh to the students for any other joint project.
