Chief Minister M.K. Stalin gave away assistive devices and other equipment developed by students of the Meenakshi Sundararajan Engineering College to beneficiaries on Saturday at the college campus.
Among the innovative projects were a smart stick for the visually impaired which is fitted with a sensor to detect hurdles, a wheelchair with a canopy which will help users stay protected from rain and sun, and a software for the visually impaired to convert speech to text as well as a text to speech convertor for hearing-impaired persons.
