It is a proud moment for IIT Bombay. The first incident was about Netra, from the stables of a company called ideaForge, founded as a start-up by 5 IIT Bombay alumni as a collaborative development between ideaForge and DRDO. Netra is a completely autonomous hovering Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) ideal for short range missions and requires very short training time. The UAV is currently being used in Uttarakhand to assist in rescue operations. Netra, which was popularized by the film ‘3 Idiots’, has been deployed to scan the air space in flood-ravaged Uttarakhand in hope of locating missing survivors. This is being used by the armed and paramilitary forces and also the ITBP to take forward their valiant rescue operations amidst daunting weather and high rains in the Himalayan region.
