Another striking achievement has come our way when Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam IGNITE Award 2017 was conferred upon our student Hridyesh by Hon’ble Shri Pranab Mukherjee, the former President of India at National Innovation Foundation – India, Gandhinagar. Hridyesh drew the attention of several personalities of the stature of scientists by inventing a conspicuous device (insects killing electronic net) for killing the insects /mosquitoes by a mild electric shock. It is a type of mosquito net which has a mild electric current capable of trapping and killing the mosquitos coming in its contact. This pattern can be applicable for the devices attached at the door, window and ventilators. The idea of Hridyesh arrested the mind of the judges who were going through the 45 lakh ideas sent to them from across the country. With due humility I would like to make a mention that Hridyesh is 2nd in a row after Piyush Agarwal who made his way to the India Book of Records and the Limca Book of World Records by inventing a machine that prevents clothes from getting wet in rain. He has already been felicitated for his unique idea by Hon'ble Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam and Hon'ble Mrs. Pratibha Devi Singh Patil on two different occasions.
This achievement of the school could be possible owing to your good wishes and I hope to receive the same in future as well.
