rural innovator

Hyderabad-native Prabhakar Alladi who runs Prabhath Industries received a patent for his multi-purpose bed innovation which comes with a toilet facility, push-back seat, hand shower, wash basin and storage area.

Bommai N Vastu (41), a rural innovator from Chitradurga district in Karnataka has designed a machine that can roll perfect rotis, reducing cooking-time in the kitchen.

"A key lesson we can learn from Raju Mupparapu's innovations is that raw talent exists in rural areas," says Prashanth Patil, who is currently the Collector of Nalgonda district.

The rural innovator is researching on low cost houses which can adjust temperature according to the climate outside. The houses will not just be for the economically poor people, but also for the richer class to encourage sustainable living.
