Kishtwar boy develops anti-piracy software

Kishtwar: A Kishtwar boy claims to have developed software which may be soon used world over to stop piracy.
Named as ‘Bharat’, the software has recently received special prize at Srijan’10 - an initiative of IWSB, which provides a springboard to the numerous entrepreneurial ideas across the whole country - organised by Indus World School of Business (IWSB) at New Delhi and has also been tested by the worlds leading software giants Microsoft and DEL.
Though yet to get recognition, the software developed by Vishnu Bhanu, son of a local scribe Balbir Jamwal, has the potential to stop the growing menace of piracy world over.
The Kishtwar lad claims to have ‘invented’ the software while making a CD pack. "I realized that the hard work rendered by some one to prepare a software or any other like computer programme can easily be cracked", he told Greater Kashmir adding, "It was beyond my imagination that one day I will be able to prepare a software like this".
The young boy, whose father cut many expenses to procure him a computer, claims that if put to use this software would save the reputed software companies from considerable loss.
Without any advance training in the computers, the boy said that he had to study the computer language from the books before starting work on the project. "Initially I practice the language on the computer in my school before I was lucky to have my own PC".
It took more than three years to Bhanu to develop the software and is now waiting for the right day when he will get it recognized world over.
The young software developer claimed that the Indus World School of Business (IWSB) has agreed to develop the software in partnership with the company he would soon be floating.
