This 9-year-old boy in Jammu and Kashmir has invented a pen that counts words while writing.
Muzaffar Ahmad Khan is being applauded online for his 'counting pen'.
"It is a pen with a casing attached to its rear. Once someone starts writing, it keeps a track of the word count, which is displayed on a small LCD monitor attached to it, said Muzaffar, a student of class 3. Not only this, the word count can also be displayed on one's mobile phone through a message, the young innovator said.
What inspired to invent a pen like this?
"In my last exam, I got minimum marks as I wrote fewer words. It made me restless and from that very time, I started thinking of inventing something which can save my time and finally 'counting pen' struck my mind," Muzaffar was quoted in NDTV as saying.
A prototype of Muzaffar's 'counting pen' has been showcased at the Festival of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, organized by National Innovation Foundation (NIF), an autonomous body under the Department of Science and Technology, at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, India.
