Indian-American Reshma Kosaraju wins Children’s Climate Prize

Forest fires have become a global problem, causing over 339,000 premature deaths worldwide – and threatening biodiversity by destroying animals and nature. While the world is still looking for a solution for this issue, Reshma Kosaraju’s project on the uses of AI technology to predict forest fires has won her the Children’s Climate Prize, 2021. A fifteen-year-old from Saratoga, USA, Reshma’s innovative and solution-oriented approach to forest fires, a highly topical and growing global issue, made her project stand out.

The Children’s Climate Prize (CCP) was started by the Swedish company Telge Energi. It’s been given every year since 2016 to a person between the ages of 12 and 17 who has made “extraordinary efforts” to improve life on the planet for children now and in the future. This year, the prize organizers report that a record number of young people from 32 different countries were nominated for the prize.

The project — AI against forest fires — can predict forest fires with almost 90 per cent accuracy. It uses open data, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, soil moisture and human behavior to, with the help of AI, calculate where and when the probability of a forest fire occurring is greatest.

Reshma hopes the Children’s Climate Prize will draw attention to her project, so that more people can become aware of the AI model’s existence. “I’m so happy and my hope is that this win will lead to more people hearing about AI against forest fires, and that it will become a universally accessible tool for predicting forest fires. I especially wish for people living in areas more prone to forest fires to be aware and make use of this project, as it could greatly improve preparedness,” she said in a note on the project.
Currently, this technology is a functioning prototype on a computer. However, the goal moving forward is to make the model publicly available in the form of an app, while heavily marketing its use within fire departments to proactively mitigate forest fires. Appreciating Reshma’s effort and brilliance, Johannes Boson, CEO of Telge Energi and Chairman of the Children’s Climate Foundation said: “The world needs Reshma’s innovation and we need to support the courageous youth who are working for a better tomorrow. We hope that the win will help boost Reshma’s hopes for the project – both financially and through the increased awareness that comes with the prize.”

This year marks the sixth edition of the Children’s Climate Prize, one of the world’s biggest international climate awards for young innovators, entrepreneurs, conservators and changemakers.

Minister of textiles Kavuri Sambasiva Rao

Businessman-turned-politician Kavuri Sambasiva Rao , who had almost resigned his Lok Sabha seat last October upset over being ignored in the previous Cabinet reshuffle, makes an entry into the Union Council of Ministers after almost three decades of Parliamentary run. 69-year-old Rao, a strong advocate of united Andhra, is opposed to separate Telangana over which the state has been seeing a lot of tensions. In October last, the five-time MP was almost sure that the Congress leadership will induct him in the Cabinet when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh went for a reshuffle of his council of ministers. Rao now represents Eluru seat. But the leadership's decision to exclude him from the ministry upset Rao who then made his displeasure public and announced his decision to quit from Lok Sabha. However, the leadership managed to calm him down. A loyal Congressman, Rao is presently a member of the crucial Congress Coordination Committee in Andhra Pradesh, set up in 2010 to ensu...
