Malegaon Techie develops Software that can halve burden of SDMs, Tahsildars

Malegaon, MAHARASHTRA :

Razee Anwer said the Software was successfully run for the students of J.A.T. Campus for demonstration purpose.

Malegaon: 

As different government departments with the help of top IT firms race with time to make India go Digital and paperless, an engineer based in Malegaon has developed a Software that if implemented can halve the burden of Sub District Magistrates (SDMs), also called as Prant Officers, and Tahsildars across India.

Razee Anwer Faizee, an expert who runs a Software Development and Consultancy firm in Malegaon, has come out with an IT solution that connects the Prant Office in a City or Tahsil with schools and colleges and makes issuance of Caste, Domicile and Nationality certificates fast, smooth and more secure.

While domonstrating the Software, Razee Anwer showed how students’ data is imported with the help of the Software developed by him, accessed online by the SDM and Tahsildars, Digitally signed and then distributed to students through the respective schools and colleges.

“The entire Software works online”, he said.

“An authorised person in a school or college needs to import students’ data using our Sofware, take printout of the list of students, sign and stamp an undertaking saying the students in the list are registered and bonafide students of his or her school or college, and click on a button to send the data to SDM or Tahslidar for further verification and issuance of Caste, Domicile and Nationality certificates”, he added.

“The SDM or Tahslidar using his or her User ID and Password will log in to our Software, verify the list of the students available online with the one signed and stamped by school authorities and Digitally Sign the certificates – one by one or in bulk, if satisfied”, Razee said.

“In case the SDM or Tahsildar has any doubt regarding the data of any student or if supporting documents have any error or are incomplete the officer can send such data back to the respective school or college with his or her remark”, Razee said.

Explaining the reason behind developing the Software, Razee Anwer said, “The idea came to my mind when I visited Malegaon Prant Office for some work few months before. During every visit, I found the Prant Officer and Tahsildar busy signing thousands of certificates utilizing most of their time which could have been otherwise used for some other administrative work.”

“I also came across many parents who for not knowing the exact procedure to get these certificates issued for their wards fall prey to the middlemen and agents who charge them hefty amount”, he added.

“I thought linking the schools with the Prant Office will not only save valuable time of the officers but also help these poor students who are paying huge amounts for a ceritifcate which is actually issued by paying nominal processing fes”, he added.

Razee Anwer, who is also Head of the Department (HoD) of Computer Science of J.A.T. Arts, Science and Commerce College, Malegaon, said the Software was successfully run for the students of J.A.T. Campus for demonstration purpose.

“Using the data of the students of J.A.T. Campus a demonstration was done in front of the top government officials. On their advice, some changes were also incorporated to make the Software user friendly and secure so as to block any misuse from unauthorised access”, he said.

“The same Software with a little tweaking can also be used by Civic and Municipal bodies for issuing Birth Certificates and by schools and colleges for issuing Leaving Certificates”, Razee Answer who has recently launched a School and College Management Software, said.

SDM Malegaon Ajay More, who saw the demonstration of the Software and also helped with useful tips to make the Software a success, said it will reduce the burden of the officials by more than half if implemented at Prant Offices.

“The Software really makes our job simpler. I am talking with the concerned department at the State Headquarters in Mumbai to see how it is implemented”, he said while talking to ummid.com.

Mohammad Furkan Shoaib Unveils Revolutionary Flying Supercar Powered by Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Kannauj (Kanpur), UTTAR PRADESH :

Jaipur :

In a groundbreaking revelation, Roxtern Aerospace has introduced a paradigm-shift flying supercar, harnessing the cutting-edge power of hydrogen fuel cell technology. This visionary aircraft, conceptualized and brought to life under the inventive leadership of CEO and Chief Inventor Mohammad Furkan Shoaib, is poised to redefine the aviation industry with its exceptional blend of efficiency, speed, and safety.

Mohammad Furkan shared exciting news from Roxtern Aerospace about the unveiling of their innovative Flying Supercar powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology. A patent has been published for this supercar, which promises quieter take-offs, faster speeds, improved safety, and zero emissions.

Specifications Overview

The Roxtern Aerospace flying supercar stands as a pinnacle of innovation, tailored for urban air mobility and intercity flights. With a two-passenger payload capacity, this sleek vehicle spans 10.5 meters in length, flaunts an 11-meter wingspan, and reaches a height of 2.3 meters. Boasting a maximum takeoff weight of 1450 kg and an empty weight of 1250 kg, the flying supercar achieves a remarkable endurance of 100 minutes, propelling itself at speeds of up to 300 km/h and covering a substantial range of 500 km.

Propulsion System

The heart of this marvel lies in Roxtern Aerospace’s unwavering commitment to efficiency and innovation. Eight propellers, strategically mounted for vertical takeoff and landing, not only minimize propeller noise for discreet take-offs and landings but also reduce disc loading and enhance hovering efficiency. During horizontal flight, a sophisticated electric jet engine comprising 12 units ensures higher forward flight speed and efficiency, making it an optimal choice for swift intercity travel.

Safety Features

Roxtern Aerospace’s flying supercar distinguishes itself with a comprehensive safety system. Multiple motors and propellers facilitate safe vertical takeoff and landing, ensuring a secure descent in the event of propeller or motor failure. Simultaneously, multiple electric jet engines engage during cruise flight, providing redundancy in case of engine failure, elevating the overall safety profile of the aircraft.

To further fortify safety, multiple hydrogen fuel cells power the aircraft, offering redundancy in case of fuel cell failure. The incorporation of multiple batteries acts as a fail-safe mechanism, ensuring a secure landing in the event of a complete fuel cell system failure.

Additional Safety Measures

In a testament to safety innovation, Roxtern Aerospace has incorporated features to mitigate risks during unforeseen circumstances. Parachutes, seamlessly integrated and ready to deploy in the event of multiple motor and propeller failures, guarantee a safe descent to the ground.

Furthermore, strategically placed airbags within the aircraft are designed to eject and reduce crash forces during emergency landings on both solid ground and water surfaces. This additional layer of safety underscores Roxtern Aerospace’s unwavering commitment to passenger well-being and accident prevention.

The unveiling of Roxtern Aerospace’s flying supercar, spearheaded by Shoaib’s inventive leadership, signifies a pivotal shift in the aerospace industry. By merging cutting-edge technology with an unyielding commitment to safety, this aircraft emerges as a key player in shaping the future of urban air mobility and intercity travel.

Earlier in September 2021, the world was introduced to Asia’s first hybrid flying car, developed by Vinata Aeromobility. The innovator behind Asia’s first hybrid flying car, Mohammed Furkan Shoaib, was the chief technology officer of Vinata Aeromibility, a start-up based in Chennai.

Furkan, from Kannauj (Kanpur) Uttar Pradesh, is an Indian inventor, an aeronautical engineer as well as a certified UAV pilot. He is an expert in Aerospace Design and UAV Engineering. He has a passion for making advanced aircraft and UAVs. He also has experience in the research and development of UAVs and aircraft.
