Samunder used to make ceramic surahi and sell them. He observed a great decline in his earnings since very few were interested in buying ceramic surahi even in the rural areas he was not selling many. It was because of the growing no. of water purifiers in every household. The surahi had been losing its position among the households. One day while he was taking a rest he felt something in his pocket was bothering him. He checked and found it was stone, but that stone was glistering. He put stress on his mind and found it came from the river he visited in the morning. There he got the idea of making surahi which also shines like this stone. He ground that stone mixed it with clay and made a surahi. later he brought other stones of different colors and then many different patterns started coming on surahi. now everybody wanted to buy surahi for their houses. One day while he was on his way to another city to sell surahi, a man in a suit came to him and inquired about those surahies. He liked those surahies and offered samunder to sell them online. after six months many e-commerce websites were selling samunder's surahies. Now he does not wander from place to place to sell surahis.

John works as a software engineer in Encrypt Pvt. Ltd. Company. One day he got a call from the director of the music company. They decided to meet at a coffee shop. The director told him that they are going to launch an album after six months which is being produced by some of the top musical artists in our country and this album is going to be a huge hit. But there is an inevitable problem of piracy they face because of which we lose a big amount of money in the market. John asked for a time period of three months. He made a team of engineers in web technology, data encryption, and data transfer over the Internet. After extensive research, they built a tool over the web that can self-destroy data after first use. They made a presentation and presented in front of the music company. They informed their music will be distributed over the web rather than on disks, registered users can listen song once for free, and after that, they have to pay 1 rs. To listen. They can download as many times as they want for 1rs. Each time, each song can be listened to only once after that it would erase itself. The company liked the idea of John's team and they finalized the deal with them. John and the team developed a sophisticated website for music to launch and launched music successfully. Later this became the most favourite way of launching music for music companies.

Ankur is studying in his final year of mechanical engineering. One day while he was going to his college his bike tire got punchered. He went to a nearby bike mechanic and asked him to make the tire good. The mechanic opened the tire and saw the tube had been torn. He recommended Ankur replace the tube with a new tube, but Ankur did not bring that much money and he was getting late. The mechanic somehow repaired the tube and the bike was again ready to run. While Ankur was riding back to his college, he thought about the mechanic that he had been working as a mechanic for a long time, not moving to a higher rank, if he had been in a company he might have been promoted to upper level till now. Also, his skill level has reached to much higher level as he has been working for so long, and still not getting as much salary as deserves. Ankur shared this thought with his friends. They decided to help that mechanic and many other people who were uneducated but skilled. They persuaded that mechanic to join a degree course of six months which he completed in just three months. After they helped him get a loan from the bank and started his own shop. Later his shop became the most popular in the area.

One day it was Krishna's turn to go to the fields. That day weather was very upset. He asked other farmers to come with him and everybody refused and thought today no animals or thieves could come because of to storm. But Krishan decided to go to the fields alone. When he went to the field he saw that the river bank had broken and water was being flooded into the fields. He immediately started repairing it but was not able to do it alone.

Manish hails from a small village. His village used to receive much water from rain in the rainy season but they often felt a shortage of water as there were no lakes to provide water when needed. His village was surrounded by hills. He suggested to his father that they build a concrete pond high above the ground which will collect water coming from hills in the rainy season and that water could be used to facilitate fields when needed. His father called the panchayat and brought up this issue. The surpanch of the village agreed to use funds to build that pond. All the villagers helped to build the pond. A committee comprised of elders was formed to distribute water so that no conflict occurs over water distribution. Now villagers use that water whenever needed. Later farmers of the other villagers took inspiration from their work and built ponds in their villages too.

Kishan is the school principal on the outskirts of the city. He read an article in the newspaper that discusses the issue of aimlessness in today's youngsters. The writer of the author placed his thoughts very logically on how this is leading to high job dissatisfaction in India. Krishan knew that children must understand his interest in early life which would be advanced and groomed to make their aptitude. He held all staff meetings and formulated a plan to induce his idea in school academics. He then decided to address all the children of schools with their parents on the day of the parent-teacher meeting. He there represented his plan to make academics more practical and skill-centric from an early stage. He informed everybody that special subject classes would be held on weekends. Each student is expected to attend whichever subject class he wants to join. The class rules will be completely different from the typical class environment. There will be no uniform for those classes, and no school bags and copies are supposed to be brought. Everybody was excited about what would happen in these classes. He decided to take his first class by himself. He went to the children and asked what they learned in today's class. Children replied to the Pythagoras theorem. He then brought out all the children near a tree and taught them how to find the length of that tree just with a stick. Day by Day more students started joining those classes and school started performing in many inter-school competitions.

Anup is called by his school principal in the head office. The principal was holding his scorecard of recent midterm exams. As Anup topped that examination, he was called to participate in a state-level inter-school GK competition. The Principal told him to form teams with other students and start preparing for the competition. Anup got very excited and started thinking about the other students whom he wanted to form a team with. He again went to the principal's office the next day and told him that he had not selected any students as his team members. He suggested a plan to bring out talented students. He suggested that every week an exam will be held for those students who are interested in the GK competition. That exam will gradually cover the syllabus of the competition and after every exam student will be dropped and selected based on their scores. The principal was very impressed with his suggestion and decided to select the same pattern for the exam which has been proposed for the actual competition. After a few weeks of exams, they had three top students. As Anup was the top scorer he was selected as team captain to represent his school. When they went to the actual competition they found it quite familiar they had been doing for past few weeks and performed well and won first prize in the competition. Then they all started preparing for the national level.

He went to visit his biological teachers, he met pharmaceutical shops and some well-known ayurvedic and homeopathic practitioners. He later went back to the NGO and suggested some ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines available in place of those costly medicines that are being used for patients.
