Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) graduates play a very important role in providing automated solutions such as disease surveillance, integrating sensor system in a smartphone for early detection of disease symptoms, sensor-based sanitizer dispensing system, etc. thereby, application of electronics, integration of sensors, wireless connectivity, and remote operability, etc. are the key requirements for this pandemic (COVID 19) equipment. People with this specific knowledge have contributed, are contributing, and will continue contributing significantly in developing automatic technology in fighting against this kind of pandemic. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization confirmed the Coronavirus as a pandemic. And soon many countries have enforced lockdown measures to stop the spread of this deadly disease.

Overall, the famine is estimated to have killed as many as 10 million people, a tragedy that went largely unnoticed in the rest of the world. Solution: While the political solution is well known, a second solution, less famous and highly contested today, came in the form of a remarkable feat of engineering. A tale of two rivers Two rivers originate from the Western Ghats—the big Periyar , which flows west along with several tributaries, and the small Vaigai , which flows east into Madurai and beyond. During summer, the Vaigai often dried up, many a time never even reaching Madurai. The Madras Province included present-day Kerala, Tamil Nadu, southern Karnataka, southern Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and southern Odisha, excluding the princely states of...
