My innovation The innovation is a system to climb a tree for trimming it. With this machine, the stupendous task of trimming a tree is reduced to a much easier form of work. One can easily trim the tree without any external support using this machine. Easy to use, the machine is of light weight, which makes it more accessible. Impact on society With our country being the one very close to nature, trees always remain dear to us. Trimming them is one of the regular chores which takes place on a day-to-day basis here. Such a machine makes the cumbersome work much easier for people. The spark Once when I saw a man trimming a tree in the field with a long handled saw and a ladder, it made me think on how much pain the workers have to take for such a task. The worker has to depend on many other secondary instruments for the task. Seeing them made me come up with such an idea. From a student to an entrepreneur The idea came to me from what I saw from the nature. Thinking that there can be a much easier method to do such a task, I pondered on the thought. The reworking of ideas and with an attempt to find out a solution, I came up with this innovation. The hard work and constant work made me realize my first innovation work. Association with TePP The innovation would not have been possible without the support from the TUC. The association with TePP only made me make my dreams a reality. Not just financially, the men-
tors also provided me great support. The mentoring and help provided by scientists gave me an exposure to the high level of expertise. It provided me financial as well as moral support to device this system.
