Mr. Rai Singh Dahiya in rajasthan never stepped into a school, but it did not stop him from receiving an award from the local district collector for building a unique biomass gasifier for operating modified diesel engines.

With NIF's help I am starting a factory in Jaipur and, hopefully, I will be able to manufacture sell more products. Some companies did approach me and talked to me about a partnership but I could not agree to their conditions, Rai Singh says.

He never knew what to call the machine. He never knew something called the gasifier exists. Two years after he made the machine, he happened to check out a machine made by TERI in Bara.

He found that the machine he had designed was way ahead of this model in terms of design and output. "The Ministry of Non-Renewable Energy (MNRE) has also offered to help me with funds and manpower. Today I have got more recognition than I had never imagined. It was a great honour to receive the innovation award from President Pratibha Patil. I would also like to meet former President APJ Abdul Kalam one day," says Rai Singh.
