IIT Bombay Introduces QR-Coded Collars to Track Stray Dogs on Campus
IIT Bombay has introduced QR-coded collars for stray dogs on its campus, providing each animal with a digital identity. Scanning the QR code reveals details such as the dog's unique ID, location history, current whereabouts, and vaccination records. This system helps students, staff, and caretakers track and manage the health and movements of the campus dogs more efficiently. The initiative reflects growing use of technology in managing stray animal populations.
