Utkarsh was shocked by the daily news of child rape in India. After seeing girls become victims of rape and kidnapping in his society, he decided he needed to act to prevent child rape. Utkarsh created the “Child Safety Shoe”. With this show, children can give an electric shock of 200 volts to the attacker. Police can also track the location of the child using their shoe. Utkarsh also educates children through webinars on child protection and women empowerment. He has reached more than 3.000 girls through online meetings and social media. His hope for the future is to manufacture the “Child Safety Shoe” on a large scale and to distribute them across the world.
