Praven Pratibha is her name. She is 11. Outwardly, there is nothing extraordinary about the girl, who hails from a lower middle class family in Jagda. But, when you learn more about her antecedents and her achievements the jaw remains slightly open with awe. Pratibha is a student of class VII of Saraswati Sishu Mandir. Her father is a medicine distributor. But in spite of her her humble background, she has an uncanny knack for developing models of her favourite subject, science.
At this tender age, when other girls of her age remain busy in different games she prefers to spend her time thinking about the intricacies of science. One day while, reading the bio-mechanical movements of our body, hand specifically, it struck her mind that a machine can be developed which has many functions.A winner of many awards at the local and district level, she made the best model in the Eastern Zone Saraswati Sishu Mandir competition held at Kolkata. When asked how she managed to complete such a complex design she replied, “I explained the whole idea to my science teacher Ms. Mamata Swain and she helped my father in building the whole model”.
