New Delhi:
The power of social media is unparalleled. A vivid and touching example of this is the latest post by industrialist Anand Mahindra. Mahindra Group Chairman has shared an update on Manipur youth Prem, who went viral on social media last year for making an Iron Man suit from scrap.
On Sunday, Mr Mahindra shared his post from a year ago and wrote, “Many of you will remember the story of love. We were delighted when he accepted our offer to join Mahindra University where he is now an engineering student. And last summer he did an internship at Mahindra’s Auto Design Studio under the tutelage of Pratap Bose.
Sharing Prem’s success story, Mr. Mahindra said, “I was overjoyed when Pratap told me that Prem’s summer internship had been very successful – especially working on advanced car door opening mechanisms. . Most importantly Pratap praised Prem’s inclination to ‘learn by making things’. We need that way of education more!”
The original tweet from September 2021 read: “Move on from Tony Stark. Make way for the real Iron Man. And it would be my privilege to assist him and his siblings in their education. If possible, it will be a privilege for me and KC Mahindra Education Trust to support him…”
