TALARI

Dec. 10, 2018

Babula Gouda, a Class IX student from the remote Khajuribania village in Odisha’s Ganjam district, has improvised the traditional ‘Talari’ hat to develop ‘smart-Talari’.

About:

  • ‘Talari’ is a large hat made of bamboo or cane that protects agricultural labourers in Odisha from the sun and rain when they work in the fields.

  • The ‘smart-Talari’ developed by Babula Gouda, using locally available materials, generates solar power to run gadgets added to it.
    • Now the solar powered ‘smart-Talari’ has two small fans to cool working farmers and a light to help at night.

    • It also has a FM radio and audio player kit for entertainment and weather forecast.
