We have been hearing about fluorosis and its victims for ages. It has been one of the pivotal and major problems for the people living in and around the Nalgonda district.The ignorance of people, lack of awareness about the things happening around them and to them, is a major drawback in this region. The ratio of people who were nearing to death in their early thirties due to fluorosis has been happening since a while in this region.Mr Kanchukatla Subhash, a man who turned into new age Bhagirath, to get the Krishna water as a source of drinking, as it is the one and the only remedy to stop the propagation of fluorosis to the next generation. It is all because the fluorosis is been resonated to people all because of the water they drink, which has raised levels of fluorosis.He was the one who was vocal about the problems of fluorosis.
Mr Modha Shiva Kumar is neither a weaver nor from a weaving background. But his invention has helped many weavers to cut down their efforts and replicate their income.Mr Modha Shiva Kumar is a resident of Hindupur, Anantapur dist., Andhra Pradesh. His father was a watchman and mother a wage worker at the same school. He has completed his bachelors and also got admission into a reputed college after clearing ICET with good score. But he instead paved his path to invent machinery to help the weavers.His thoughts and ideology to invent the weaving machine resonated all because of his weaver friend, who explained their struggles in weaving.We see various designs on the sarees, but we fail to see the problems a weaver faces in getting the designs on to the saree.
