Mysuru (Karnataka) [India], July 9: Purna Chetana Public School in Mysuru is celebrating its 11th anniversary with the "Purna Chetana World Records Festival 2024." This event highlights the school's dedication to education, featuring attempts to set nine team and five individual world records. A key highlight is the "Longest Marathon of Assembling Robotic Models by a Team," reflecting the school's commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology into its curriculum. The event has earned World Record titles from Elite World Records, Asian Records Academy, and India Records Academy, underscoring the school's pioneering spirit in educational robotics.
Darshan Raj, CEO of Purna Chetana Public School, stated that, In an effort to address real-life challenges faced in rural areas, 132 students from Purna Chetana Public School created a miniature model of a "smart village," showcasing solutions driven by Artificial Intelligence and robotics. These students were organized into 68 teams of two and worked from 7:00 a.m. to 11:52 p.m. on Saturday, July 6, 2024, for 16 continuous hours and 52 minutes on the school premises, completing their project. Out of the 68 teams, 66 were qualified and considered approved according to world record norms.
As we prioritize the development of smart cities, we must not overlook our villages, which are the backbone of the country. This initiative is designed to bridge this gap and empower farmers and rural population with cutting-edge technology solutions, all while preserving the authentic cultural fabric of rural life - stated Darshan Raj.

Maadhurya Ramaswamy, CAO, stated that Our students collaborated with local villagers to identify real-life problems and presented their solutions through the miniature smart village. They assembled 68 unique robotic models incorporating coding and AI technology. These creations included functional robots such as an automatic pump for fields, garbage segregator, farm laser security, alcohol detector, voice-controlled lights, automatic railway gate, automatic street light, automatic fire detector, automatic trash can, farm monitoring systems, and soil moisture auto pump, among others. Looking ahead, the school plans to scale up the model by establishing a life-size smart village unit on campus, which can serve as a template for implementing real-life solutions, she detailed further.
Dr. Vidyasagar P., President of the School, highlighted the numerous benefits of incorporating robotics at the school level. "Robotics fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity among students," he explained. "It equips them with essential 21st-century skills such as coding, engineering, and teamwork. By engaging in hands-on robotics projects, students not only learn technical skills but also develop resilience and adaptability--traits crucial for future success in any field. We are very proud of our children for this accomplishment."
