Hamirpur (Himachal Pradesh):Necessity is the mother of all inventions truly fits the bill for a student of Class 8, Ekamjeet Kaur, who came forward to develop a multi-facility bag for school-going students. The idea of creating this multi-purpose bag came when Ekamjeet experienced the ordeal the schoolchildren were facing while waiting for a bus.
Carrying heavy paraphernalia in the form of a school bag containing course books every day would drain the children of energy. Now giving much-needed relief, students instead of lugging the school bag, can convert it into a chair to sit on -- thanks to Ekamjeet.
The newly developed school bag has come as a boon in disguise for schoolchildren. While taking part in a district-level contest called Inspire Standard Award Scheme, Ekamjeet brought her newly developed school bag for scrutiny by the experts. Her product received appreciation from the experts and they also suggested some more modifications to her new invention.
