INNOVATE FOR SURVIVAL; AN UNFAILING ATTITUDE FOR SUSTENANCE
“A young charming boy hails from an outskirt of a village resides in the mid of woody and thorny bushes, innovates for survival. Even though absence of electricity, lack of connectivity, and insufficient earnings pull him back, he is not ready to fail. His inquisitive mind to understand the nuances of the working nature of electrical appliances and to overcome the dark tiring nights made him to reproduce solar equipments from scraps. He is also a helping hand to his parents in their farm fields”.
The Day begins
‘Christmas Day in the Morning’, a thrilling short story by Pearl S. Buck starts like this; “he waked suddenly and completely. It was four o’clock, the hour at which his father had always called him to get up and help with the milking”. The case is reverse in the case of Cibin. He wakes up four o’clock in the morning and calls her parents to wake-up to milk the cow. When Buck offered a surprise gift to her parents in a Christmas day by rose-up earlier than four o’clock, and got all the milking done, “Cibin initiatives our work in the cattle farm. He is really a helping hand”; his mother says.
Muddy and Woody land
Beyond the back, Cibin’s house is away from the main land and can be reached after a tough journey through muddy and rough roads. The gentle stream Voolar river flows near to his house adds beauty to their lives. His parents bought land in this region where only eight residents, many of them either sold or already left there dwellings because of difficult survival; just to get rid from a deep debt crisis. Though fresh air, water and picturesque nature bless them, they are forced to go to bed early; being electricity is a far dream for them. His small house and its premises are surrounded with different domestic animals and colorful birds.
Provoke to innovate
Cibin was not willing to easily give up. His mind travelled in wilderness, pondered over the ways to bring a grinding halt to his hard days. His curiosity in electronics helped him at last; with a few scraps of electronics appliances, Cibin managed to make a couple solar lamps which flashed light in to his dark tiring nights. His invention didn’t end with these solar lamps. His never ending exploration and probing in to the working principles of electronic appliances equipped him to develop ‘an indigenous motor fan’ and a ‘mobile phone sound amplifier’. His experiments of developing a motor fan sound interesting. Leaves carved from the metal sheets, a pellet, and a regulator was enough for this invention. An in-depth search on the working principles of DVD players triggered his mind to create a mobile phone sound amplifier. “Cibin is a sort of an immediate resort to rectify our electrical issues. He is a like a local electrician to us”. Said; a friend and neighbor of Cibin.
ASAP Experiences Master
Cibin was very eager to join for a certificate course in Electronics. Though his first enquiry to ASAP was this, while choosing skill course; he was left without many options, as the bouquet offered by ASAP was limited. However, he decided to join for Certificate Course in Junior Rubber Technician (JRT). “ASAP improved my confidence and dared to think for a job after my plus two”. Cibin said. He is a second year science group student in school and average in his studies. Teachers have good opinion about Cibin. Despite he wants to pursue his career, he prefers to work along with his studies After hard episodes in his life, Thomas Alva Edison once said; “my mother was the making of me... She was always so true and sure of me... And always made me feel I had someone to live for and must not disappoint”. Being an ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder), his teacher was once called young Edison “addled”. After spending three months in a noisy class room, his formal schooling ended. But he revived by the constant inspiration of his mother that made him as “"the Wizard of Menlo Park". When people demarcate students on the basis of low academic scores, more emphasis should be on unveiling the latent talents and skills; that may be the learning from Cibin’s story. Initiatives like ASAP can bring hope to their lives by nurturing and fostering the hidden talents within.
