Photographer Manoranjan Ghosh's wait for a patent from the Government of Bihar for his invention-a lantern projector-continues even after 66 years. Though the inventor has died, his family's hope remains alive.
The 'Lantern Projector' was made with the objective of it being used to spread awareness and education in rural areas, and was invented in 1940. .
According to Ghosh's son, Rajat Ghosh, a sculptor by profession, it was his deceased father's long cherished dream to help in spreading education in the remote areas of the Bihar, and this motivated him to invent a "poor man's projector".
"This 'Lantern Projector' was invented for the purpose of promoting and propagating various education programmes such as children's education, women's education and others in remote villages where electricity was not available, says Rajat.
Apart from Gujarat, Madras, Calcutta and other States, the projector became famous in Germany too," Ghosh adds. "If the projector and the literature slides with some modifications and are used at places that are without electricity, it could prove to be very beneficial," says Rajat.
Besides creating slides of rare pictures of the Indian freedom struggle, Manoranjan Ghosh had a collection of slides with analytical descriptions of literature, art and many other subjects.

I am the sort of guy who loves to try new stuff. Right now I'm making my personal pv panels. I'm making it all alone without the help of my staff. I am using the net as the only way to acheive this. I ran across a really brilliant website that explains how to build solar panels and wind generators. The website explains all the steps needed for constructing photovoltaic panels.
I am not exactly sure about how precise the data given there is. If some people over here who have experience with these works can have a see and give your feedback in the page it would be awesome and I would really appreciate it, cause I really enjoy [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com/useful-articles]solar panel construction[/URL].
