The Indian Navy has launched ‘Suraksha Kavach’ pendants for specially-abled children and elderly members of the naval community, aimed at enhancing safety and welfare through smart technology. This initiative, part of Project Chetna, involves a collaboration with the Ridlan AI Foundation and focuses on aiding individuals with memory impairments by providing QR code-based identification that stores vital medical and personal information. The program is set to benefit thousands, particularly those affected by dementia and Alzheimer’s, facilitating swift location and reunification with families during emergencies. This blend of compassion and technology underscores the Navy’s commitment to inclusive welfare, significantly improving the quality of life for vulnerable citizens while furthering community support initiatives.
