‘AP Weatherman’ figures in Modi’s Mann ki Baat
The Hindu
Techie credits The Hindu weather column for his inspiration
A Tirupati-based techie would not have imagined in his wildest dreams of figuring in the speech of Prime Minister, but he did get into Narendra Modi’s famed radio address ‘Mann ki Baat’ on Sunday. B. Sai Praneeth, an EEE gold medalist from Anna University, Chennai and a resident of M.R. Palle locality of the temple city, shot to fame for his concept of ‘AP Weatherman’, through which he used to provide weather forecast on social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, which benefited the farmers across the State and urban residents of Tirupati, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and Kurnool cities. The idea was borne out of the questionable predictions being provided by various channels in the name of weather forecast, leaving the denizens disillusioned. In his address, Mr. Modi appreciated this software engineer’s efforts to reach out to the society.More Related News
