Mr. Jayraj Salgaonkar has invented a device named Oren Horn Usage Meter which will help curb noise pollution in India. The prepaid device, which fits near the dashboard of a vehicle, can be used in a non-intrusive way to not only charge the driver but also enable authorities to monitor, control and penalise people in case of excessive use of the horn. He is in talks with the state government and the traffic department for state wise implementation of this product. His aim is to not generate revenue from the device however; he wishes to bring a social change in the mindset of the people in India. Mr. Salgaonkar was inspired to carry out work in this domain when he visited an auto expo in Germany. He witnessed that the cars there rarely honked. If the government decides to adopt this device, it will not only generate revenue for the state but also public goodwill as people are sick and tired of this continuous honking and studies suggest that nearly 30% of the fatigue we feel is due to noise pollution around us. The ever increasing number of cars and rising traffic density have led to unbearable noise pollution all over Mumbai, which was graded the noisiest city in the country by the Central Pollution Control Board. Mr. Jayraj wants to address this situation with his idea to implement this simple device and help restore some much needed peace to this fast-paced world we live in.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
