After making a remarkable recovery in just two years, he realised there wasn’t any technology to help people with the paralytic, mental or mobility issues.⁠
⁠
Subhasis, at the age of 43, joined a Biomedical Engineering programme and came up with SynPhNe, a wearable device that trains the brain and muscles. ⁠

#SoulStories⁠
"My father worked at a small shop on the side of the road, fixing people’s gas stoves and cookers. We lived in Supaul, a small town in Bihar. All we had was a Kacha house, and a mitti ka aangan outside.
@prachithakurphd
We ate the same thing most days — roti, onions, and achaar.⁠
⁠
I was bullied by my classmates and would run home crying. On innocently asking my father why he couldn’t work in an office like the others, he would wipe my tears and say,
'Money isn’t everything in life.' But back then, I didn’t realise the value of his words.⁠
⁠
While girls in my area went to cooking classes, my father cooked for us. I realised that I had something none of them had — a father who cared about my dreams.

"Kamaladevi’s interest in the area of crafts was nurtured in her childhood when she participated in creating objects for innumerable rituals, which were linked with daily rhythms. ⁠
⁠
It was the strength of her personal struggle and the inheritance of the spirit of revolution and rebellion that her mother taught her.⁠
⁠
Her work to revive the languishing arts & crafts of the people by travelling in the remotest parts of the country and reaching out to the largest segment of people sustained our traditions and skills.

Studies show that one out of every six students fights depression, and sometimes if they lose, they may take drastic measures or resort to self-harm. Farozan might have committed the same mistake had it not been for her father’s love.
@tata_comm
Hailing from Bihar, Farozan’s parents moved to Odisha for better livelihood opportunities. Despite trying very hard, it became difficult for them to make ends meet.
However, her father always encouraged her and told her that the day she completed her education and became successful, his life would be complete.

#HeroesOfHumanity⁠
Chennai-based Ashwanth Kumar, food is the most direct way of spreading joy. Inspired by the kindness he'd observed in his late grandmother, the 25 YO now provides free meals to the underprivileged under Pankajam charity.
⁠
He started a #CommunityKitchen in his grandmother's home, which offers meals for Rs 15-Rs 20 and also gives for free to those who cannot afford them.⁠
⁠
"All the food is cooked by homemakers.
We have chefs to guide them, but they know it all, and we’re just creating opportunities for them."⁠
