IIT Mandi’s AI device offers 3‑hour landslide warning, making India’s mountains safer
A low‑cost early warning system developed by IIT Mandi’s Professor Kala Venkata Uday can predict landslides up to three hours in advance with over 90% accuracy. Installed across 60 sites in Himachal Pradesh, the AI‑powered device uses sensors and machine learning to detect subtle slope movements and trigger timely alerts for at‑risk communities.
