From Village Soil to Rashtrapati Bhavan

A Seed Was Sown in Silence

In the sun-baked lanes of Pili Madori (Haryana), later in Thalarka (Rajasthan), a young boy watched the world without schoolbooks or streetlights — only with a sharp mind and burning questions. His classroom was the open field. His teachers? Curiosity, failure, and resilience. That boy was Rai Singh Dahiya.

The First Spark

In 1979, when a village water pump broke, 16-year-old Rai Singh fixed it with zero formal training. That moment transformed him from a farmer’s son into a creator and problem-solver.

Fighting Darkness with Light

Nights were dark, but Rai Singh’s dreams glowed. Inspired by science radio, he built a windmill to charge batteries, sound alarms to scare wild animals, and tools to make village life easier — all without formal education.

Biomass Gasifier Innovation

Tired of women choking on smoky chulhas and farmers burning residue, he built a compact Biomass Gasifier that converts crop waste into electricity and heat.

Portable Power, Day & Night

• By Day: Runs irrigation, tools, charges batteries.
• By Night: Powers lights, fans, phones, even TVs.

"Why should energy be fixed when farmers are always moving?" — Rai Singh Dahiya

National Recognition

In 2009, the National Innovation Foundation visited his village. By 2015, he was selected as an Innovation Scholar In-Residence at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Awards followed — but he remained grounded.
