Sanat's innovation is to remove external dependence from the navigation system, i.e. GPS satellite. His system is based on a more permanent entity, the Earth. It does not require any input from any external medium or device and provides good navigation in even geographically remote areas, shadows, in dense forests and in the sea also. Not only that, while his device could neither be traced nor jammed, it does not require high economic and technological inputs from satellites. Sanat's device uses only rotation of the Earth and magnetic field of the Earth for its operation.

Sanat, the son of senior CISF commandant SK Mohanka posted in Mumbai, was born at Supaul and started his education from St Dominic Savio High School, Patna. He also studied at DAV School, Begusarai, when his father was posted there. Despite changing school six times due to frequent transfer of his father, he maintained academic excellence and got the NCERT's National Talent Search Examination scholarship. He has keen interest in the mysteries of physics and enjoys solving the riddles of mathematics.

On the basis of his invention, a leading school of the US, The Wasatch Academy, had interviewed him at Dehradun and offered him admission to science stream in class XI. The academy has also offered full scholarship, which includes tuition and boarding charges to the tune of $48,000 per annum.

Meanwhile, 11 young scientists were awarded Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize-2012, India's premier awards in the field of science and technology, at a function held in New Delhi on Wednesday, which was presided over by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who is also the chairman of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
