Delhi Students Develop Low-Cost Air Purifiers to Improve Classroom Air Quality
Two Delhi students, Krish Aggarwal and Samarth Meattle, co-founded Project Vayu to convert ordinary classroom fans into affordable air purifiers using a Rs 140 filter. This initiative has benefited over 10,000 students in underprivileged schools by improving indoor air quality with electrostatic filters capturing fine particulate matter. Separately, another student, Aarkin Soni, developed a Rs 2,500 cardboard-based air purifier using HEPA filters, conducting workshops in government schools to promote air filtration awareness amid Delhi's pollution challenges.
