Kulgam, 26 March (CNI) : A 10-year-old-year boy from munad guffan area in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district developed a low-cost portable egg incubator to benefit the poultry sector in the area.As per the news agency-Current News of India (CNI), a 10-year-old Momin Ishaq Teli, a class 2nd student at Government High School Munad developed a low-cost portable egg incubator to benefit the poultry sector in the area.Momin was inquisitive since childhood to know why scores of coloured chicks were available in the market.Momin said that an egg incubator requires a continuous power supply for nearly 3 weeks to complete the whole process. But considering the electricity curtailment schedules in Kashmir, I faced various problems. I nearly dropped the idea. Adding that he wants his egg incubator to help the local poultry industry to flourish, which witnesses challenges during winters.The incubator can hatch about 50 eggs at one time. It provides a suitable temperature of 37.5 degrees required for hatching and takes 18 days for the whole process to complete.He said that till now, no company has approached them for making the incubators at a large scale but they are still making sure that the product should be available in the market for the convenience of people. Momin’s journey for building the incubator wasn’t smooth, he started working on the idea of making a portable egg incubator three years before. He persevered and a year later, he started getting positive results leading to the incubator becoming functional in the current year,said his father. (CNI)
