The video reminds how jugaad is intrinsically linked to Indians
When it is about jugaad, there is no dearth of talent in India. A video went viral on social media reminds how jugaad is intrinsically linked to Indians.
A Twitter user recently shared a video of a man using a bike-like machine to climb up a tree. The man, who appears to be a farmer in Kerala, has created a device that lets him climb coconut trees easily. The video is a portrayal of an ingenious creation.

As seen in the video, the man sits on the bike-like device and presses the accelerator. The machine goes up the tree thus making it easy for him to pick coconuts. The device, much like our cars, has a reverse mechanism as that brings the man down from the tree in a well-controlled motion.
After the video went viral, netizens were in awe of the creation. They appreciated this innovation.
