IIT Madras Develops Low-Cost Road Dust Cleaner

IIT Madras Develops Low-Cost Road Dust Cleaner

Scientists at IIT Madras have created a new machine to clean dust from roads.

This dust is a big problem because it makes the air dirty and can make people sick.

The old way of cleaning roads with brooms is hard work and not safe for the people doing it.

The new machine is easy to use, not expensive, and can clean roads better.

It has special parts that collect different sizes of dust and can even work on bumpy or sloping roads.

The machine is powered by a small battery, so it doesn't use much energy.

This new technology can help keep cities cleaner, protect the health of workers, and save money for cities.

The machine has been given to a company called Envitran Smart Systems to sell it to more people.
