Anantnag, 23 Jan: 16-year-old Anantnag boy makes models of JCB bulldozer and remote controlled car toys with trash that he has been collecting over the years.

Nasir Ahmad Chohan hails from Brah Shangas, a remote area of South Kashmir’s Anantnag District, who is a class 10th student & has turned his small room into a full-fledged experimenting lab designing and creating things of interest.

Talking to the Arising State, Nasir said that ‘my goal is to use my creativity in order to innovate.’ He said that innovation is his passion and his passion keeps him going.

According to Nasir his recent achievement has taken everyone by surprise in his neighborhood. He has blueprinted the model of an original Bulldozer and a remote controlled car using discarded glucose bottle pipes, disposable syringes, tin and wooden pieces.

According to Nasir, his love for machines has helped him in giving vent to his passion of making vehicles. Nasir does not belong to any affluent family, but the family survives on meager resources.

A son of labour, Nasir is a student of Government High School Ranipora Anantnag.
“Nasir is usually busy in collecting bits of steel, iron, plastic bottles and other things,” one of his family members told Arising state, adding that “we initially thought he was just wasting his time in collecting trash,but he proved all of us wrong ,when he finally came up with his first innovation of JCB bulldozer’’.

Interestingly, Nasir has designed blueprint of Macadam surfacing machine way back in 2012, when he was still a primary class student. The model was somehow ‘destroyed’ by the family.

Despite all the odds this young lad has sought attention of local populace who believe that the boy will bring laurels to the people of Kashmir one day.

‘’While teachers at school describe Nasir as an average student, but his confidence and passion for machine learning will have the world at his feet,’’ said one of the teachers of Nasir.
