Having innovative ideas is one thing, how to distribute them
to the end-users so that the actual problem can be solved as expected is
another thing. When ninety percent of world population has access to mobile
phone, lots of innovations have found their ways to actual playgrounds.
In India when farmers feel grateful to NPOs for providing
them with free price and weather information related to agriculture activities,
there is another person I strongly believe needs to be acknowledged with
credits. His name is Santosh Ostwal who spent half of his lifetime looking for
solutions to better irrigate farmers field to improve production as well as
save labor and water resources. The system he created allows farmers to control
water pumps in the field to make sure more sufficient and effective irrigation
can be conduct during the crops growth cycle.
He and his family suffered from tremendous pressure when all
kinds of experiments were in the process before the final solution came out. However, since he got mental support from his
family, coupled with his determination to making Indian farmers better off, he
never gave up until the very innovative method is finally found and improved.
In the long journey of identifying and solving problems,
there are plenty of obstacles and hurdles, ups and downs, success and failures.
Nevertheless it’s those dedicating their lifetime to an issue that is
influential to a large population who make the progress promising and the
journey full of courage to move on and on.
