Young Ankush (17) has a mind beaming with ideas. He has made a number of small utilitarian gadgets that can help in every day life like pick pocket alarm, cob web cleaner, and an alarm system that informs if your little child moves out of a particular range.
Ankush is a student of class twelve. His father used to work in the Food Corporation of India (FCI), Sindri, which is 28 km away from Dhanbad. Unfortunately, the FCI Sindri unit closed down in 2001 due to some administrative reasons. Many families shifted to other places in search of livelihood while many others joined ACC Ltd. (a cement company) or started their own work. His father now works as an insurance agent while his mother gives private tuitions. His younger brother is a student of class ten.
