Indian Army Showcases Power With Vidyut Rakshak Innovation, Boosting Defense Capabilities And Supporting Atmanirbhar Bharat Mission

National News: The Indian Army has once again proven its capability and readiness not only on the border but also on the technological front. The cutting-edge device "Vidyut Rakshak," developed by Army Major Rajprasad RS, is now poised to elevate the country's military capabilities to new heights. This is considered not just an innovation but a major step towards a self-reliant India, and it has now been formally patented.

What is 'Electricity Protector'?

"Vidyut Rakshak" is a smart control system that helps the Army manage its electrical resources more effectively, safely, and in an organized manner. This device can integrate with any type of generator or power system, whether new or old, regardless of brand or rating. This system performs the functions of power monitoring, protection, and control. Its most significant advantage is that it reduces manpower requirements and increases the efficiency of soldiers deployed in the field.

The Army's enhanced strength in difficult terrain

is being used, particularly in areas where power management is a challenging task, such as the high altitudes and remote regions of Jammu and Kashmir. Given the harsh climate and limited resources, this device has emerged as a mission-critical technology. Recently, Lieutenant General Upendra Dwivedi tested the functionality of generators deployed in Srinagar by remotely switching them on using this device. This technology ensures that power supply is never interrupted, allowing soldiers to perform their duties without disruption.

 Confluence of Technology and National Security

The "Vidyut Rakshak" has been showcased at major defense events like Aero India 2023 and Bharat Shakti, demonstrating its importance not only for military but also for national security. The device is also part of the Indian Army's "Technology Absorption Year" plan, which aims to promote the adoption of indigenous technologies and self-reliance within the military.

Amit Shah alerts security agencies

. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has alerted the army and security agencies, urging them to maintain vigilance and strict surveillance, especially in Jammu and Kashmir, as terrorists may attempt to infiltrate across the border during snowfall. This clearly demonstrates that while the army is becoming technologically empowered, security challenges are also being taken seriously.

This device could prove useful in the future not only for the military, but also for civilian disaster management, power distribution in rural areas, and other strategic areas. The "Vidyut Rakshak" is a living example of the Indian Army's innovation, demonstrating that a self-reliant India is no longer just a dream, but a reality.
