"Another challenge is funding, because I said I was not going to ask anybody to give me money. My idea was that it’s my interest, I want to do it and I will prove to people that I have done it. So, anybody who wants to support me now, can. You know now our society is so corrupt, you can go to somebody to support your project, but he may think you are not genuine. If you initiate a thing, then prove to people that you can do it and maybe when they see the quality of work, the significance and importance of the work, they might support you later. So, I had a challenge there. I spent millions doing the project and I had only the support of my family."
