It received lots of recognition and appreciation all over social media platforms too.

The youth bagged headlines for creating the ‘Iron Man’ suit from stationary and digital waste.

“I am awestruck & inspired by Prem’s ambition & skills that have flowered despite- not because of – his circumstances. Many of us from privileged backgrounds never appreciated enough the resources we were given. But Prem uses scrap material & basic tools to shape his creations,” Mahindra tweeted. The representatives of the company have already visited Prem and his family to help him.
