The Research paper has been published in ‘Clean Future’. Malank has a keen interest in sustainability and has been actively working on solar renewable energy solutions for the benefit of the environment and the society. 

This innovation is a collaborative effort from different streams, by bringing together technologies and techniques from revival and rejuvenation of water bodies, waste water treatment and ground water recharging, solar power plant design and implementation and econometric modelling to establish a financially feasible self-sustaining solution for revival of lakes and urban water bodies. It resolves two big issues that our cities are facing currently like the  revival of the lake ecosystem enabling communities around it to thrive and  Providing much needed green and clean energy, enabling the cities to become green cities.

He is a founder of Light Spread, which aims to make education available to children or low-income families especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. Light Spread is a not for profit. He has developed the platform to connect schools with members of society to fund the education of kids unable to afford/prioritize it.

In his free time, Malank write’s papers on current economic and market issues. He follows an analytical approach in analysing the impact of various events such as Covid pandemic on various stakeholders in society. Papers are published at his own Blog and are submitted at various Govt windows.

Our Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar 2020 Awardees

Sagnik Anupam and Tanish Goel of DPS RK Puram have been awarded the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar 2020 .As a part of the  award, they have  received a certificate, a citation, a cash award of Rs. 1,00,000, and a tablet. They  received the award from the Honourable President of India at a ceremony at the Darbar Hall of Rashtrapati Bhavan on 22 January 2020. They were  also felicitated by the Honorable Prime Minister of India at his residence at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg, and interacted with the Honorable Minister of Women and Child Development. They were  also a part of the Republic Day parade on 26 January 2020 in New Delhi.

Sagnik Anupam has got the award for developing a machine-learning model that can predict water levels up to four days in advance for the Brahmani-Baitarani river basin in Odisha. For his project, he used rainfall and river discharge data from the past 40 years to train his model to predict water levels and created a cloud-computing based web app to run simulations. Combining data from satellite images and other sources, he has developed a sub-district level flood vulnerability index to help early evacuation. His early-warning system is highly generalizable and can also be used on other river systems to help flood-prone areas around the world. Recognizing his contributions to science, he has been selected as a member of the Junior Academy of the highly-acclaimed New York Academy of Sciences. Sagnik has also won laurels for India at many different international and national competitions. He was a part of the contingent for the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2018, held at Pittsburgh, USA. As a part of a team, he has also won a First Award in the Grade 11 Large Team category of the NASA Ames Space Settlement Design Contest 2018 and was a finalist at the Conrad Spirit of Innovation Challenge 2017, held at Orlando, USA. He was also a member of India’s first team to compete at the International Youth Physicists’ Tournament, held in Beijing, China, in 2018

Tanish was awarded the Bal Shakti Puraskar in the category of innovation .He  was recognized for creating a machine learning algorithm which autonomously detected emotions based on facial expressions and speech with a team of college students in a research internship (The only high school student out of 350 college students); for winning the NASA Goddard award at the Conrad Spirit of Innovation Challenge, with a team of 3 . He  became a junior member at the New York Academy of Sciences, where  he worked on a Lunar Space Settlement project with a global team (6 members from 4 countries and 5 cities).

We wish both Anupam and Tanish the best in all future endeavours and may they scale even greater heights in the years to come.

Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar Award

Nishant Dhankhar of DPS RK Puram was awarded Pradhan Mantri Rastriya Bal Puraskar, the highest civilian award for under the age of 18 by Hon’ble President of India on 22nd Jan 2019.

He proved the analogue of Szemeredi’s theorem on the existence of a colored rectangle if some points in the plane are colored with positive density. The proof was further generalised and proved for higher dimensions using the bounds on nxn lattice and cuboid. This analogue for cuboids and higher dimensions relates to a generalisation to Zarankiewicz problem, an unsolved problem of extremal graph theory. He represented India at Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2018 held in Pittsburgh, USA. He won the Mu Alpha Theta award for the most challenging, original and creative investigation of a problem involving mathematics accessible to a high school student at the IRIS National Science Fair,2017.  The passion for deep consideration of challenging problems led him to participate in the 29th Summer Conference of the International Mathematical Tournament of Towns held at Adyghe, Russia where he was awarded Diploma for working on the project ‘Van der Waerden’s Theorem and Games’. He made India proud by winning Gold Ruler at Iranian Geometry Olympiad and silver medal in Asia Pacific Mathematics Olympiad.
