Real-life Fungsuk Wangdu Of 3 Idiots Creates Solar-Heated Tents For Army

The engineer-turned education reformer Sonam Wangchuk, on whom movie 3 Idiots' Fungsuk Wangdu character was based, has created portable solar-heated military tents for Army jawans posted in Ladakh. The entirely made-in-India innovation weighs less than 30 kg and can be utilised by 10 Indian Army jawans simultaneously. Wangchuk said that apart from being climate neutral, the temperature inside the tents can remain at 15 degrees even if it is -14 degrees outside.
