Mandeep (21), now a student in first year of graduation, made a laminating machine run on solar energy when he was in 12th standard. This machine gives almost the same output as that of an electricity-operated laminator when the sun is hot. Now there is no need to worry about the frequent power losses. He was born in Ganeshgarh village, Ganganagar district of Rajasthan, at his maternal grandparent’s house. After a year, he along with family moved to Maloth in Punjab and stayed with his paternal grandparents. He studied till class three there and then came to Sangaria along with his parents.
