A software developed by Jamia Milia Islamia students to detect "unwanted drones" at or near airports will be used for security by the Airport Authority of India (AAI), a varsity statement said on Monday.
The programme was developed by a six-member team of students of Jamia's FTK-Centre for Information Technology, during the recently-held Smart India Hackathon.
The team won the 'Nav parvartak' (New Innovator) award for the innovation and was awarded Rs 1 lakh, the statement said. Also read: Apple Delays Release of First Original Series 'Carpool Karaoke'
