A rainwater harvesting umbrella made by Ojasvi Goel of Class 6 from Vasant Valley School, New Delhi, which not only protects you from rain but also collects rainwater for future use. An accident detection rescue system by a trio from Panimalar Engineering College, Chennai.
These were sights that greeted APJ Abdul Kalam at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) on Wednesday.
Kalam met children and youth who have been awarded the Ignite 2008 Award. Later, he also gave away the awards to young "ignited minds". The Ignite Awards are an initiative of National Innovations Foundation (NIF).
A total of 19 awards were given away by the former president where he also addressed the students. "Dream, because it is through dreams that you have thoughts and thoughts are what make you take action," he said. He encouraged the students to join politics and bring about the change they want to see in their country.
