A group of Kashmir University students have received patent rights for their innovation of coming up with a ‘Starch Rice Cooker’ for diabetic patients.
The five students who came up with this Starch Rice Cooker innovation were recently honoured with an award by the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha.
Sajid Noor, Jahangir Hameed Lone, Imran Nazir, Azur Hussain, and their teacher, Dr Bilal Ahmed Malik, created this cooker for diabetic patients. The Indian Patent Authority has granted them patent rights.
As per the details, this device can cook meals for a number of people remotely over a text message and can also monitor the starch status of the rice while it is being cooked.
The students have asserted that it is a unique invention as it does not involve the manual method of cooking rice.
“The two more chambers for water and rice have been made in this rice cooker, which is controlled by Manbi technology over GSM and IoT,” Sajid Noor told a local news channel.
