With fuel prices increasing every day, people are desperate for an alternative and more affordable mode of transport.

A resident of Pakamedu village in Villupuram, Baskaran is a diploma holder in mechanical engineering. He had to quit his job due to the pandemic last year and has been focussing on agriculture.
