When he found out kids in his village can’t study due to no electricity, he did something to brighten their lives
11-year-old used to go to his paternal village, Gujarat to spend his summer holidays. When he saw that the poor children in the village could not read at night because the village had no electricity, he decided to bring a change to their lives. That’s a big dream to realize at the age of 11, who is ade student in High School.
“It hurts to see that my friends cannot study after dark. I am also worried about how people in the village cook when there is no electricity. There is a risk of them getting hurt and I want to change that,”
He thought of a way he could provide free electricity to the people of his country and especially the kids in his paternal village.
In 2014, when his father’s 1-year-old laptop battery stopped working, inquisitive to know what’s inside, Vedant opened the battery to find out that only 1 of the 6 cylindrical lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells was dysfunctional. This was the reason why the laptop battery had stopped working. That battery could not get the power supply due to that one dysfunctional cell. (A battery usually consists 6-8 cylindrical lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells.)
To his father’s surprise, he used one of the remaining functioning cells and installed it in a dysfunctional CFL inverter lamp which then started working perfectly and the lamp instantly Lit Up.
