Little Scientist From Koraput

KORAPUT: Spending a sum of Rs12/- on a project could generate
vibration worth 12 Million Dollars in the field of communication by a
child from Koraput . The award winning project presented by Aslam
Baig of Kendriya Vidyalaya of Koraput at the National Level Science
Exhibition held at the IIT , Kharagpur brought laurels for the state
.The innovative project titled "Application of Principles of Simillar
triangles in the field of Communication" was adjudged as the best
project of all the entries in the Innovative Projects in Mathematical
Model category , C.Aliveni , Principal of the school said.

Aslam , working on the idea given by , V.Vijaylaxmi , his mathematics
teacher in the school , had developed the project with the support
from the school . He had used only four drawing sheets costing only
Rs.12/- against spending thousands by other participants, which
was also one of the center of attraction added to the way he had
presented it before the jury , Aslam said. The jury comprising of
eminent professors from the IIT were also convinced on the
possibility of bringing revolution in the field of communication with
the application of the ideas presented in the project, he added.

The project had described the methods of using theorems on
properties of similar triangles to bring an optimum signal strength
in providing communication through mobile phones . The project if
implemented could bring down the cost on infrastructure and the call
charges , he said .

The little scientist who is also a good poet and orator gives the
credit to his teacher and the school for his success . Even though he
being in StdXI , aims to be a doctor in future the love for
mathematics would not die for the scope of its application in the life
, he added. He is the inspiration for other children in the school and
had become the ambassador to spread the interest on mathematics among
the children , the Principal said with pride .
Vijaylaxmi , his mathematics teacher was equally proud of Aslam for
bringing the real implications of the project into the front as she
had derived this idea for her son . But looking at the keen interest
in Aslam for the preparation and presentation , he was given it,
Vjaylaxmi added .
