Manuguru, Bhadradri Kothagudem District:
In a remarkable tale of determination and innovation, a young woman from the coal town of Manuguru has turned adversity into achievement. Spurthi, hailing from a modest background, has successfully designed and developed an electric vehicle (EV) named “Eco Warrior”, defying financial constraints and technical odds.
With her father working tirelessly to support the family, Spurthi decided to lend her strength not through words, but through technology. Combining her self-acquired technical knowledge with sheer perseverance, she took it upon herself to build a battery-powered vehicle that is not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly.
Despite facing repeated failures during the design and assembly stages, Spurthi never gave up. Her relentless pursuit of excellence eventually led to the creation of a functional, efficient EV — a testimony to her grit and vision. “My father’s struggles have always inspired me. I wanted to do something meaningful, not just for my family but also for the environment,” she said with quiet confidence.
Constructed using accessible components and a frugal approach, the Eco Warrior is being seen as a beacon of hope and ingenuity, especially among rural youth. The project showcases how sustainable transportation need not always come with a high price tag — it can also emerge from the hands of those driven by purpose.
Local residents and educators have hailed Spurthi’s achievement, calling it a proud moment for the region. “She is not just a budding innovator but a role model for young girls across Telangana,” remarked a local teacher.
