‘Development of capabilities makes a person talented and for it one needs to have knowledge, patience, and the support of people’.

A young man from Deoria, Abdul Kaleem (24), is a serial innovator. He has developed a number of innovative projects, interesting among those are automatic watering system in flower pots, short-circuit alarm, GSM based burglar alarm, overhead tank monitoring and regulating system.

 After graduating in arts in 2007 from Gorakhpur, he is contractually associated with Non-conventional Energy Development Agency (NEDA) in a project related to a street light controller device. He was still a student when his entry was received by NIF for fifth campaign.

 He comes from a well educated background. His father is a teacher and all his four elder siblings are educated, married and settled while the two younger brothers are still studying. Theirs is a joint family staying together in a two floor house. His father also has little less than half hectare land where he cultivates sugarcane, rice, wheat, gram, mustard, maize, pulses etc., as per need. Abdul performed average in studies but took interest in electrical/electronics since childhood. Due to his habit of experimentation, he was often punished for messing things up.. Many a times, he was reprimanded for wasting time. Though, mostly he used scrap articles but at times he even spent his pocket money to purchase different items from the market. At other times, he had to do an odd job or two for some extra money. His friends sometimes used to tell him that such things would not take him anywhere. But, nothing could deter him from doing the things that he liked. His elder sister and her husband, his class teacher and one of his friends always encouraged and supported him to do better.

 He once read about NIF in a local newspaper and through a correspondent got the address. The thing that appealed to him the most was that such an organisation was there to support grassroots innovators like him. His creative pursuits have been covered well by local electronic and print media during the last two years. He was also given theNav-anveshak Samman in February 2009, by the Uttar Pradesh government, for his efforts in promoting science and technology through his work.
