“I serve as the SIM Incharge at Dass and Brown World School in Ferozepur, Punjab. We recently featured in the Top 75 teams of SIM. The Atal Tinkering Lab has become like a second home to me. It's a place where my students and I engage in daily learning, finding solace in our lab. We are dedicated to working on solutions for the Sustainable Development Goals, and I am profoundly grateful to the Atal Innovation Mission for providing us with this platform to contribute to our community and nurture innovation in the young entrepreneurial minds.”
"SIM, the flagship national innovation challenge for schools from Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) has been a trailblazer, having completed 5 editions with the 2022-2023 edition attracting 12,000+ teams pan India. I have been fortunate to have been able to mentor 10+ teams that have been ranked amongst the top teams over the last few years.

“Our SIM journey as a team has been an incredible roller coaster of innovation and collaboration. We worked hard and our hard work paid off as we emerged as one of the top 75 teams of ATL marathon 2021 and even got digital tablets from Niti Aayog as a prize for our achievement. It was like a dream come true. We have even filed for the patent of our project this year in 2024.”
