Introduction
Roy T. Bennett once said, " Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.” NM Prathap has proved that our hardest times make us stronger. This success story of Prathap consists of selflessness, courage, patriotism, and innovation. He had denied job offers from more than 87 countries and decided to serve his Nation. He is a true follower of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and selected the path of the country's service. He proved that a son of a farmer may not necessarily become a farmer but he can also become a scientist.Humble Beginning
Prathap's childhood dream was to become an engineer but his father's financial condition was not good and hence he took admission to JSS Academy of higher education and research for BSc degree. He was staying in a hostel while continuing education from the college but he got a shock when hostel authorities kicked him out from the hostel due to non-payment of hostel fee. He spent a few days at Bus Stop and washed his clothes in public toilets. While facing these challenges, he never stopped learning. He learned C++, Java, and Python languages. He also started working on building drones by utilizing E-Waste. He failed for more than 80 times before building a fully functional drone and this drone was sufficient to make him eligible for any drone competition. Prathap decided to take part in the Indian Institute of Technolgy (IIT) Delhi's Drone model competition and he won second place in this competition. Organizers motivated him to take part in Japan's International Drone competition and he started preparing for the competition. But money was the biggest constraint for Prathap and he had to sell his mother's Mangalsutra for participation. He also found a sponsor who sponsored his flight tickets for Japan. In Japan, Prathap had only Rs 1500 in his pocket so he walked to the competition site. He had shown the capability of his drone during the competition but became demotivated when he had not heard his name at any position till the second last. He became elated when the organizers announced his name as a winner. He got 10,000 US Dollars as award money and that was his life's turning point.
