for Award 2012
Gandhiji had announced an award of 7700 pounds, ( approx Rs one lac ) to redesign charkha-spinning wheel. Today the value of this prize will be more than Rs10 crores. Today's young innovators can certainly take an inspiration to socialize engineering and technologies to address the need of BOP.
