Water ATMs reinvented to provide mineral water at cheap rates

Kanpur, May 25 (ANI): An alumnus of IIT Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh has set up a water ATM to provide water to the common man at cheap rates. Though such ATMs themselves are not the first of their kind, being found in China already, they are quite the novelty in India. Vaibhav Bajpayee, an I.I.T. alumnus and the founder of Akshay Jal ATMs, aims to provide clean mineral water to the less fortunate at cheap rates. The water ATM works like any other cash dispensing one. The water ATM card is touched upon a panel on the machine, which then dispenses water into a container. May 25, 2014
