Samaira Mohunta has significantly impacted access to education through her work with the organisation ‘Parvaah’. As the president of the organization, she developed a convertible solar desk-bag—a multifunctional backpack that doubles as a desk with an integrated solar light—addressing the lack of desks in schools and enhancing student engagement.
Samaira’s innovative solution has boosted attendance, concentration, and homework completion among the students. Her achievements include distribution of over 350 solar desk-bags. Additionally, her fundraising efforts have improved educational infrastructure and playgrounds, benefiting over 750 children directly and impacting more than 500 others through community playgrounds. Her message underscores that innovation should prioritize making a difference over profit.
