R Rajshree and S Nivetha's groundbreaking innovation is said to aid in the fight against abuse and violence, and made them feature among the top 10 teams in the state.

"The watch has an in built GPS chip and a SIM card slot. It is not a smart watch since it is primarily designed for preventing abuse of school girls, especially those from marginalised backgrounds. Though we have the Kavalan app from the police department, it requires a mobile phone," said Nivetha.
