HYDERABAD, India — Students from the School of Technology at Woxsen University, Hyderabad made a strong impression at the Pragathi National-Level Project Expo 2026, organised by SR University, Warangal, Telangana, on 14 March 2026.

A total of 21 students across five teams from the BCA and B.Tech programmes participated in the event, presenting innovative prototypes addressing real-world challenges in agriculture, traffic management, worker safety, robotics, and smart irrigation. The teams representing Woxsen University secured two First Prize wins at the expo.

In the Overall Category, B.Tech third year students Katne Sagar Datta, Inturi Leela Tejashwini, Sai Teja, and Deepak Chowdary Madamanchi bagged the first prize, along with a cash reward of ₹50,000 for their project Implementation of Swarm Robots for Pattern Formation using Algorithms.

In the Theme-Based Category, Malgireddy Srikar Reddy, Chada Mohith Reddy, Hema Rasala, and Kasam Koushik secured the top honour for their project. The participants presented innovative prototypes and research ideas addressing real-world challenges.

The projects presented by the students of Woxsen University at the expo include:

• Xeno Garden: IoT-Enabled Automated Smart Drip Irrigation System Using Renewable Energy
• Implementation of Swarm Robots for Pattern Formation Using Algorithms
• AgroNautics: AI-Powered Drone System for Precision Plant Disease Detection
• IoT-Based Wearable Safety System for Electrical Linemen (Smart Vest and Smart Glove)
• Smart Flow AI: Smart Traffic Management System Using IoT and Edge Networking

The diverse range of projects were developed using resources from Woxsen’s IoT Lab and AI Research Centre, enabling students to build fully functional prototypes and demonstrate practical applications of emerging technologies. Sharing her experience, Inturi Leela Tejashwini, a CSE student, said, “It was amazing representing Woxsen University at the national level. As a CSE student, it brings valuable experience participating in tech events like this. The biggest challenge was understanding the code and connections required for the robot to work. We failed multiple times by connecting wrong inputs such as voltage and ground pins, but those challenges helped us learn and improve.”

This achievement highlights Woxsen University’s commitment to nurturing technically skilled, innovation-driven graduates ready to compete and excel on national platforms.
