The true identity of New India is no longer based solely on degrees or money. Youth like Pratap are proving that with determination, hard work, and dedication, anyone can reach the global stage. In the Modi era, real talent is getting recognition and opportunities — this is the true strength of New India.
Who is Pratap?
- A 21-year-old youth from Kadaikudi, a small village near Mysore, Karnataka.
- Son of a humble farmer; faced poverty, yet never gave up on his dream.
- Passionate about electronics and drones since childhood.
- Couldn’t afford engineering; studied B.Sc. Physics.
- Learned programming languages like C++, Java, Python by working odd jobs — even slept on buses, worked in public toilets to survive.
- Collected e-waste to build a drone — succeeded after 80 failed attempts.
- This is firm determination.
Milestones in His Journey:
- Built and flew his first drone from e-waste after months of trial and hardship.
- Won 2nd prize in a drone competition in Delhi.
- Qualified for the World Drone Championship in Japan.
- Funded his trip with help from local donors and his mother, who gave up her mangalsutra and ₹60,000 in savings.
- Took 16 regular trains, walked 8 km carrying luggage — just to reach the venue.
- Competed against participants from 127 countries — and won 1st prize for India.
Moment of National Pride:
- As India’s flag was raised above America and France, Pratap cried with joy
- Thanking his parents’, teachers’, and donors’ names.
- Refused a ₹16 lakh/month job offer, luxury car, and Paris house — saying:
“I didn’t do this for money. My mission is to serve my motherland.”
🛡️ Modi Government’s Role in Recognizing True Talent
How Modi Government Supported Him:
- Pratap’s story reached PM Narendra Modi.
- Modi personally congratulated him and arranged a job in DRDO’s drone division.
- Today, Pratap works as a scientist in DRDO, travels internationally, and brings drone technology orders to India.
Shift in National Policy Toward Meritocracy:
- Unlike previous regimes that favored party loyalists and political allies, the Modi government recognizes true talent from the grassroots.
- Awards like Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan, and Gallantry Honors now go to:
- Rural innovators.
- Tribal artists and folk heroes.
- Scientists, athletes, farmers, and educators from modest backgrounds.
This stands in stark contrast to earlier governments where:
- Awards were given based on political proximity or elite influence.
- Talented individuals were neglected, ridiculed, or demoralized.
🧭 Why This Matters for the Nation
The Bigger Picture:
Pratap’s story is more than personal triumph — it symbolizes the rise of New India.
A country where:
- Merit is celebrated, not muffled.
- Youth are empowered, not exploited.
- Talent is rewarded, not sidelined.
Under Modi’s Leadership:
- India has become a place where the son of a poor farmer can reach DRDO, fly to Tokyo, and beat the world.
- National pride and service have taken precedence over money and personal gain.
