Roadside Scientist

This compelling short film chronicles the life of Sukomol Basaka, a President Award-winning Indian scientist who, despite being a school dropout and working as a vegetable seller and grocery shopkeeper, developed an innovative low-cost water conservation system. However, his brilliance and contribution remain undervalued as he now lives in poverty in a remote area. The film sheds light on his resilience, the challenges of grassroots innovation, and the tragic irony of societal neglect for true innovators.
