N Sakthimainthan (Hand operated water lifting pump) Tamil Nadu
Sakthimainthan built his hand operated water pump in response to a dearth of available pumps that could be afforded by small farmers. The water-lifting device is operated by the continuously rotating a handle. It is simple in design and has a high discharge at low cost compared to the motorized pumps and conventional hand pumps.
