The Industrial Training Institute (ITI), Berhampur has invented an Ultra Violet (UV) Sanitizer designed for powerful disinfection of shoe soles.
Chairman Odisha Skill Development Authority, Mr. Subroto Bagchi launched it in Berhampur through webinar.
It produces adequate energy to damage and alter DNA of all kinds of potentially harmful microorganisms on the bottoms of shoes.
“This is unique in the country and can be used at home entrances or public places like hospitals, offices, airports, railway stations, shopping malls, hotels and institutes etc”, said Principal ITI, Dr. Rajat Kumar Panigrahy.
The user has to stand on the device and the sanitisation process is completed within 8 seconds.
These UV light emits rays upward and eradicates the micro organisms deposited on the exterior surface.
The mechanism is enabled through IR sensors. The UVC light is triggered only when both the soles are on the platform.
The sanitizer includes a portable platform. This is an integration of skill in sheet metal, filling, fitting, electrical and electronics, the principal said.
The first machine was donated to COVID Hospital Behrampur. Associate Professor Medicine MKCG Medical College and Hospital cum In-charge COVID Hospital Berhampur, Dr. Umashankar Mishra, received it.
#Taratarini Temple on #Purnagiri hills at the bank of holy River #Rushikulya near Brahmapur city in Ganjam District is worshiped as Sthana Pitha of Adi ParaShakti.
It is one of the oldest pilgrimage centers & among 4 major ancient Tantra & Shakti Pithas in India
12 medical staff of MKCG Medical College and Hospital (MCH), including 04 anesthesiologists and 08 nurses, tested positive for Covid-19 on 08 June, prompting allegations that precautionary measures are not being taken for healthcare providers who are particularly vulnerable to the disease.
According to media reports, a patient was operated upon at the surgery department of the MCH on May 31. Few days later, the patient was detected positive.
As per the protocol, the doctors and nurses who came in contact with him were also examined and 12 of them tested positive.
Earlier on June 5, two doctors, as many nurses and a technician of City Hospital at Berhampur were admitted to Covid-19 hospital. Official sources, though, have still not confirmed if they tested positive for coronavirus.
MKCG MCH Superintendent Dr Santosh Kumar Mishra refused to reveal if the 12 health staff including doctors have been affected by coronavirus but said all of them have been kept at the isolation ward of the hospital.
Urging people and health workers not to panic, Mishra said all possible measures are being taken to prevent transmission of the disease.
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has appreciated the new and cheap apparatus innovated by #ITI_Berhampur for sanitation of materials using ultra violet (UV) ray.
It has also found place in the ‘Innovating for India’ page.
It is an efficient instrument to fight against coronavirus. Different materials like mobile phone, tablet, laptop, pen, mask, currency note, coin, grocery items, debit and credit cards can be disinfected by the instrument within 15 minutes and virus destroyed.
Stating that it’s a great achievement to get recognition from the Prime Minister, ITI Principal said the ITIans made the UV sanitizer machine this month by using a discarded microwave oven at a cost of Rs 1200. “We have already built more than 50 such ovens,” he said.
Union Skills Development Minister Shri Mahendra Nath Pande has also praised this UV-C light as an efficient sanitizer.
He has directed the students of ITIs throughout India to be trained to build this machine through video-conferencing in the first phase from May 26.
#Brahmapur_ITI once again was acclaimed globally for its innovative designs of cost effective equipment to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.
# Odisha #Chief_Secretary Asit Kumar Tripathy and Chairman of Odisha Skill Development Authority, (#OSDA) Subrato Bagchi appreciated the UVC Sanitisor designed and developed by the ITI Brahmapur.
# The newly designed UVC sanitizer machine was installed at the conference hall of the Chief Secretary and office of Chairman OSDA and SDET Department.
# Notably, #Prime_Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Union #Skill_Development Minister Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey too have already appreciated the low cost UVC sanitizer and put it in innovation club joining hands in the coronavirus fight.
# Speaking of its functionality, ITI Principal Prof R Panigrahi said that to make the chamber safer and to prevent from any radiation outside the chamber, an unserviceable microwave oven is used so that any infected device can be put inside the chamber for fifteen minutes.
# Timer circuit is being provided which automatically cut off supply to the UV light, Panigrahi said.
# The UVC lamp is reliable, well studied anti micro logical technology and works primarily by destroying the DNA inside bacteria, virus and fungi. The high energy portion of UV-C is highly effective.
# The principle is used to sanitize drinking water in the water filters. By this all the electronic gadgets, face masks, PPEs can be easily disinfected.
# Applying this technology thousands of unused microwave ovens can easily be transformed to UV sanitizer which is the need of the hour, Prof Panigrahi said.
All Industrial Training Institutes (ITI) in the country will replicate the technique developed at the ITI in Odisha’s Berhampur
Picking up the technology from the Berhampur ITI, Odisha Union Minister for Skill Development Mahendra Nath Pandey in an interview to the AajTak TV news channel stated all the other ITIs in India will construct similar UV sanitisers from thrown away microwave ovens to help the fight against coronavirus in their respective areas.
All Industrial Training Institutes (ITI) in the country will replicate the technique developed at the ITI in Odisha’s Berhampur to convert discarded microwave ovens into ultraviolet (UV) sanitiser chambers for the disinfection of mobile phones, pens and other small items carried by medical staff at coronavirus (COVID-19) hospitals.
Devised by the Principal of the Berhampur ITI Rajat Kumar Panigrahy, the conversion costs only ₹1,200.
Equipment to be disinfected has to be placed in it for 15 minutes. A timer is provided.

A timer circuit is provided in each chamber which automatically cuts off supply to the UV light when the action is complete. The product has drawn praise from the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.
Earlier, Skill Development Minister Mahendra Nath Pandey also urged ITI's across the country to follow the ITI-Berhampur model to manufacture more microwave sanitizer machines to help the health workers on COVID-19 duty.
"It works primarily by destroying the DNA inside bacteria, virus and fungi," said Dr Rajat Kumar Panighray, Principal of the ITI-Berhampur.
He also emphasized that the UV lamp is a reliable and well-studied anti-micro-logical technology.
The high energy portion of UV-C is highly effective. This principle is used to sanitize drinking water as well.
