Nine Years Old Indian Climate and Environmental Activist Licypriya Kangujam's name has been included in the "Forbes 30 Under 30" Special Mentions List for the year 2021. This was announced by Forbes India on 8th February 2021 in recognition of her efforts to protect the environment and her fight against climate change.
Forbes 30 Under 30 is a set of lists issued annually by Forbes magazine and some of its regional editions. The American lists recognize 600 business and industry figures, with 30 selected in twenty industries each.
Asia and Europe also each have ten categories for a total of 300 each, while Africa has a single list of 30 people. They received over 15,000 nominations every year and selected only 30. Licypriya's name is included in the category of "Clean Energy and Climate Change".
Licypriya posted on her facebook that "I'm truly humble to find my name in the Forbes list. I'm especially thanks to all the people of my birthplace Manipur, India and the world for their love, support and guidance. This will not be possible without all your blessings."
She further said that she is currently doing a project of making a device which can convert air into water. She further added that this device can help to solve the global water crisis faced by millions of people around the world by supplying regular, safe and clean drinking water and also will help in agriculture activities in the drought affected regions of the world. This device is purely run on solar energy.
Licypriya also recently designed and developed the world's first solar bamboo reading lamp and started distributions to several countries across the globe. This small innovation helps in supporting the poor handicrafts artists of Manipur with additional income and also creating jobs to hundreds of the unemployed youths of the country. This bamboo lamp is also promoting the idea of Made in Manipur and Made in India of PM Modi's Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Licypriya's works proved that age doesn't matter to make a difference and to succeed in our life if there is hard work and patience. She is not only playing a crucial role in raising the voice for urgent climate actions to the world leaders to save the planet and their future, she is also an inspiration to millions of children and people around the world.
