A functional level monitoring device for monitoring and indicating the low level of a fluid in a drip connected to the functional level monitoring device is disclosed. The device includes a load measuring mechanism to measure load of the drip. A valve is coupled with the load measuring mechanism and gets actuated in response to the measured load for restricting the flow of the fluid from the drip. Further, the device includes an indicator unit which provides an indication corresponding to the measured load. The device further includes a battery to provide power to the valve and to the indicator unit. The power to the indicator unit is provided via a switch. The device further includes a communication module to facilitate remote monitoring of the fluid level. The device facilitates automatic monitoring of the fluid level, thereby reducing human efforts and possibilities of human errors.
