He has invented a palm tree climbing instrument; a simple instrument with which one can climb toddy or coconut tree in half a time if we compare to traditional method. Instrument is available at the cost of 1500 Rs. And inventor has so far sold some 3000 instruments across the world. There is one scientist at Massachusetts institute of technology who does research about insects living on the tree. Earlier he had to set a ranch over the tree to research there, but now he has bought three instruments from Kerala based inventor and he uses it.
