To resolve the issues, the kid watched YouTube to repair his phone. “The mobile phone had many issues as it used to hang during the coding process. With the help of YouTube, I fixed the phone and continued with my studies,” said Jakhar.
He is inspired by PM Narendra Modi and hopes to work for the country one day, he said.
He made 3 apps – the first was related to General Knowledge named Lucent GK online.
The second was Ram Kartik Learning Centre that teaches coding and graphic designing and
the third was Shri Ram Kartik Digital Education. Now, these apps are offering free training to over 45,000 students.”
