A class 11 student of Gujarat who won first prize in the recently concluded India International Science Festival for the invention of his unique pollution remover ‘artificial tree’ and ‘air tunnel’ today said that he desires to become a doctor or an IAS officer.

Ajay Kumar Ojha, who invented the artificial tree and the air tunnel while studying in class 10 of the S V Shah Vidya Mandir School of Mahesana was inspired by his teacher V K Panchal.
Ojha invented his devices with common things like PVC pipe, box, Battery, Plywood, Plymers and common chemicals.
The artificial tree with calcium carbonate smeared on it can be fixed on roadsides and it converts the poisonous smoke of the vehicles in to innocuous calcium bi-carbonate while the air tunnel can collect the gaseous emissions from the factory chimneys to convert it in to sodium bi carbonate which can be used in making washing powders.

Ojha said that he is going to spend the prize money of Rs 25000, which he received from the union minister Harshvardhan in a the prize ceremony at IIT Delhi, for further research and improvement of his devices. He also got a laptop and citation as part of the first prize in the inspire category of the festival for which a total of 699 candidates from all over the country were shortlisted from around 2 lakh students.
