Andhra Pradesh Starts Smart AI System to Stop Mosquitoes and Diseases
What Is SMoSS?
The new system is called SMoSS (Smart Mosquito Surveillance System).
It uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) and IoT (Internet of Things) to find and stop mosquitoes.
It helps the government spray only where needed. This saves money, time, and chemicals.
Where Will It Start?
SMoSS will start in 66 places in 6 cities:
Visakhapatnam – 16 places
Vijayawada – 28 places
Rajamahendravaram – 5 places
Kakinada – 4 places
Nellore – 7 places
Kurnool – 6 places
How It Works
Smart sensors will check for mosquitoes
They will count how many are there and what type
They also check temperature and weather
If mosquito numbers are high, the system gives an alert
The data goes to a computer dashboard
Drones will spray medicine in those areas
People Can Help
People can tell about mosquito problems using phone apps:
Vector Control App
Puramitra App
Hospitals Will Help Too
Doctors and hospitals will send daily reports about:
Dengue
Malaria
Chikungunya
This will help the team find bad areas and do special spraying there.
Private Teams Will Work
Private companies will run the system.
They will get paid only if the work is done well.

World's fastest internet speed of 1.02 million GB/second is achieved by...., not US, UK, China, India, can download entire Netflix library in just...
A group of scientists in Japan has set a new world record by achieving an internet speed of 1.02 petabytes per second that's 1.02 million GB every second! To understand how fast this is: It is 3.5 times faster than the average internet speed in the U.S. And over 16 million times faster than the average internet speed in India, which is around 63.55 Mbps. At this lightning-fast speed, you could download the entire Netflix library in just one second, or a massive video game like Call of Duty: Warzone (150 GB) instantly which is faster than you can blink! Who developed this technology? This breakthrough came from scientists at Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). They used cutting-edge fiber optic cables along with advanced signal processing techniques to make it possible. This new speed is said to be 100,000 times faster than most home internet connections around the world. In fact, it's powerful enough to download more than 10,000 ultra HD 4K movies in just one second! How Can this speed help the world? This new internet technology can change many industries in a big way, especially: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Cities Online Education Remote Healthcare With super-fast and reliable data transfer, tasks that now take hours could be done in seconds. It will help cities become smarter, patients get better care from far away, and students learn faster online. What this super-fast internet could do For example, hospitals could share huge amounts of patient information instantly. This means doctors could perform surgeries from far away or figure out what's wrong with you much quicker. In smart cities, this tech would make traffic flow smoother, help save energy, and make security systems even better. Plus, if we can send information across the world faster, businesses would get a lot more done. Big hurdles to clear Bringing this super-fast internet to everyone will not be as easy, as we will need to spend a lot of money to upgrade our current internet systems with new kinds of cables and equipment. Making it affordable for everyday people and getting everyone to agree on worldwide standards will also be tough. Japan's speedy tech A report from May this year said that Japan claims to have created a device that's five times faster than 5G internet. Think about it: in India, we're still getting 5G set up in many places, and Japan has already built what they say is the world's first 6G device! Right now, it's just a test model. But they say it can send data at over 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps) even from more than 300 feet away. That's supposedly 20 times faster than today's 5G!
