With the eternal blessings of President Arya Rattan Shri Punam Suri Ji, Padam
Shree, DAV CMC, New Delhi young innovators and mentors working in the Atal
Tinkering Lab at Public DAV School Lawrence Road Amritsar got the privilege to
interact live through video conferencing with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on
o6-o6-2018. Praising the concerted efforts made by the young team
(Kuvam Devgan, Rachit Sharma, Rishab Aggarwal, Parth Gupta & mentor Resham
Sharma) for getting selected amongst the Top 30 Atal Innovators of India,
PM Modi said, "Youngsters of Amritsar are talking about the idea of a smart
Ann-Bhandar, for the agricultural community to minimise post-harvest grain
losses. They are coming up with smart healthcare devices for the aged, this tells us
how innovative Punjabi youth is! However, if we do not innovate, we will
stagnate . Honourable Prime Minister shared his experiences and some lighter
moments with the students and responded warmly to the student's invitation to visit
the lab soon. He was quick to assert that such young men and women should
distinguish themselves in the global start-up eco-system. PM Modi said, "Startups
are no longer only in big cities. Smaller towns and villages are emerging as vibrant
start-up centres." He extended hearty congratulations to the students, faculty,
Principal Dr. Neera Sharma and the DAV Management Committee for promoting
quality education and vocational skills through innovative avenues like Atal
Tinkering Labs.
