The equipment uses an electro-mechanical system to accomplish the task. The device has an inbuilt rice bowl and water tank. It has controllers and hence no physical mediation is required while cooking or keeping the prepared food warm. It is equipped to cater to people who are out of home and can give them fresh rice ready when they get back from work, sports, or outings. All it needs is a single text from mobile phone and it can cook. The Patent Authority of India has accepted and patented the device. These students need support from government/private companies/entrepreneurs to convert prototypes into marketable products which will benefit the people.
