Border security will get new technology! NSG selected Saharsa Engineering College's 'AeronGage', will become a gamechanger

Sarhasa: The students of Electrical Engineering Department of Saharsa Engineering College have once again made the district proud. AeroGange Smart Surveillance System developed by second year student Dilshad Akhtar and his team has been selected at the national level for the grand finale of Smart India Hackathon 2025.

This competition will be held at IIT Roorkee, Uttarakhand from 8 to 12 December. The team includes Dilshad Akhtar along with Abhinav Anand, Ayushi Thakur, Nibha Yadav, Md. Rizwan, Ayush Raj, Dr. Ankur Priyadarshi and Ajay Kumar. This team has prepared a state-of-the-art monitoring device called AeroGange. Which has been selected by the National Security Guard (NSG) under the Home Ministry from the proposals received from across the country.

Features of AeroGange System
This device designed by the team is not an ordinary camera, but a smart surveillance system. Which has been specially prepared for the security of border areas. It has been fitted with high-resolution sensors that provide clear visuals even in fog or mist. This feature can prove useful especially in the border areas of North India. Where fog persists for a long time in winter.

This system also includes human movement detection technology. Which immediately detects any suspicious movement. Sends alerts to security agencies. AeroGange is fully GPS integrated. Due to which real-time location, video feed and data of active activities can be tracked immediately.

Big achievement of local talent
According to Dilshad Akhtar, this system is completely remote-operated. This means that the soldiers deployed on the border can keep vigil even from several kilometers away. Can take necessary action. It continuously transmits high quality video and data, increasing the accuracy and speed of security operations. The team has prepared this prototype for just Rs 1 lakh, but for large-scale use by security agencies, its estimated cost can be Rs 1 to 2 crore. Experts believe that its technical usefulness and security benefits fully justify this investment.

Being selected in Smart India Hackathon is a matter of pride not only for Saharsa Engineering College but for the entire Bihar. Dilshad and his team will now present their project on the platform of IIT Roorkee among innovators from across the country. If this project is successful in future, it can prove to give a new direction to India’s border security.
