Children of daily wage workers are facing a lot . Since the covid pandemic unemployment , depression level , domestic violence and child labour has been incre
ased drastically . The children were exposed to physical, psychological and sexual abuse . Imagine a child sentenced a life full of terror and forced labour . Experiencing this I came up with PROJECT BAAL UNNATI . An initiative started with the sanjeevani foundation udaipur working for the underprivileged , abused and child labours .
We at baal unnati supports free education for those who wants to study nd come out of this pitiful lifestyle . We as a team go on weekly rural locations nd create awareness as much as we can . It is just an initiative to support those who can't support themselves . It is just a small step towards a huge war against child labour , sexual abuse and illiteracy in India . This issue took this drastic turn not because they aren't aware of the issue . It is because the workers see their child as another earning source of there family . This needs to change afterall - " All it counts is that first step and the society , world and then the entire civilization follows.
With the help of divine group foundation we look forward to extend this support on a global level .

Project Eco-United
Human society is playing a vital role in degenerating the natural environment which is leading to serious issues like pollution, overpopulation, climat
e change, global warming etc. Unawareness among people or their ignorance towards mother nature and its resources is one of the biggest reasons contributing to these problems.
I came across this issue particularly during my hospital duties where I realised that there is widespread lack of awareness among people. Another hurdle is that most people think their individual actions won’t bring a vast change.
That’s when I decided to start PROJECT ECO-UNITED. The vision of the project is to bring people together to protect the environment as I believe that small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world. In this mission, we educate and make people aware about environmental cleanliness. We distribute catalogues and pamphlets and also encourage people to sign petitions. In the near future, we are also planning to arrange for various campaigns like cleanliness drives, plantation days, educational workshops etc. as with these methods we can motivate people to come and work together for a cause.
I wish to expand Project Eco-United into educating people about sustainable development and developing the ways and methods by which we can achieve it easily.

NGO SWAYAM
"The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it."
I'm Advika Bansal, a 21-year-old architecture student from Gurug
ram, Haryana.
As a young girl, I was overjoyed to see snow on River Yamuna. My father explained that it is froth generated due to chemicals dumped into the rivers.
Seeing how dire the situation is, I started an NGO "SWAYAM-Sustainable WAY of Adopting Alternatives for Mother Earth".
We collect fruit waste from juice sellers across the city and recycle it into Bio-Enzyme Cleaners (100% bio-degradable alternative to chemicals). These are further distributed in public toilets and households, free of cost. This helps achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 6, 11, 13 and 14.
SWAYAM has recycled 220 Kg of waste into 360 Litres of Bio-Enzyme Cleaners, thus preventing 360 Litres of harmful chemicals from being dumped into the rivers.
Swayam is dedicated towards bringing about a lifestyle revolution, i.e., people adopting alternatives for sustainable means on their own-"swayam"!
Under the guidance of Divine Group Foundation, my advocacy will be successful to its true potential by working in close collaboration with environmental departments and corporations across the globe and bringing about a global revolution towards sustainability.

Green Tourism Clean Tourism
On my recent trip to Mussoorie which lies in the lap of nature, I visited some of the most beautiful places such as Bhatta Falls, Lando
ur, Happy Valley among others. Though I went there for a relaxing getaway I came back with memories and experiences to cherish forever.
One of those many beautiful experiences I saw there was one thing that somehow disturbed me. Sitting in the middle of Bhatta Falls, I was enjoying my view but when the food was served I saw them using lightweight plastic and foil plates.
Its such a breezy place that most of it if not picked up quickly would simply fly into the waterfall hence polluting it.
My Advocacy aims towards creating awareness about being a responsible tourist and sustainable ways of making tourism in India more accessible. The better we know our nature the more conscious we become of our actions is what I believe. To give this a shape I would help people understand about the things polluting our environment. Help them in knowing about different local communities and what experiences can they be part of to be near nature. I believe nature is so vast and has so much to offer. If we could find sustainable ways to embrace its beauty then we can preserve it for generations to come.

Project Vishnu
Namaste everyone, mother earth has always been generous, so here is an initiative, Projext Vishnu for the farmers of India who use Earth’s land in the best
way possiblewith complete selflessness.
This project is already really close to my heart because it’s named after my grandfather, his name was ‘Ramesh’ which means Lord Vishnu. He was a very dedicates farmer and professor. We lost him earlier this year but I’ll keep his teachings alive through the work I do for the society paying him a tribute.
This project will mainly focus on educating the farmers to use modern farm machinery instead of using old fashioned implements. Telling the benefits of modern techniques and educating them on farming will be the few things we'll focus on.
I really wish to be the voice of farmers because I know how hard the conditions are for them.

Project Eco-Building Blocks
As urbanization continues to change our cities, leading to an increase in heat, decreased biodiversity, more need for water and energy, as well a
s pollution. The grand total of deaths from all pollution sources is almost 9 million deaths each year worldwide. That’s more than 1 in 7 deaths and makes pollution deadlier than malnutrition. To overcome these effects, the incorporation of greenery is a must for bringing nature to city infrastructure and minimizing the waste generated.
SO project eco-building blocks have 3 goals to combat pollution:
1) ECO-BRICKS:
Ecobricks are a sustainable way to reuse non-biodegradable macro and microplastic waste as plastic waste is regarded as a long-lasting and durable material. Hence, keeping plastic out of the ecosystem prevents the contamination of the environment
2) Bio-Receptive Concrete: empowers cities to breathe
The delft-based Dutch company has designed an innovative bio-receptive technology to grow moss over any concrete casting solution. With an aim to offer a way to convert urban concrete jungles into places where plants can thrive.
3) Spreading Awareness about environmental issues and practices to mitigate them to our future building blocks: youth
By doing so, we have a better chance of raising a generation of lifelong environmental advocates that will continue to live sustainable lives into their adulthood.

Project: Empowering Humanity
I remember myself trying to save a mice by feeding, when i was three year old and teaching my cousins ,sibling and a household worker's d
aughter in early teenage.That was it , my love for children and animals since the very beginning.
Now, i am teaching my maid's three children since almost one and a half year and even got them admission in a good school .I feel proud when they enjoy my teaching ,and grasp everything quickly , with that i make sure i feed stray dogs when i feel one is required to be fed.
As how i love doing this, i believe every being should provide to the society with no selfish means, except the peace and satisfaction of the heart and the mind.
Let's Empower Humanity together and provide love , food , medicine and shelter to strays and education to underprivileged children in whatever capacity one can.
Let's make small changes in our lifestyle to impact bigger.
Let's be a little more Humane.

Project Each One Teach One and Women Empowerment
"Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another." I truly believe this statem
ent as I applied it in my life and did something good for others. So that's why I decided to make a little change in this society, which can have a big result in the future.
I teach underprivileged students who really want to study and want to stand up in this society. It has been 3 years since I began. As a pre-primary teacher, I understand that education is really important in everyone's life. This means that education is not just a need but a tool to alleviate poverty. As a literate person, I not only understand but take a responsibility to teach those who really want to achieve their goals.
I'm also working for women's empowerment and women's safety.
So that's why I started a mission which not only provides women's empowerment but also works for their safety while travelling on a bus.I too face problems while travelling on public transport. I understand the issues that arise when women use public transportation. That is why I took the help of Shrimant Jyotiraditya Scindia Ji (Aviation Minister) to start this programme in my city, Gwalior.
I came up with the idea of putting VIRANGNA CITY BUSES for women, drivers, and conductors, which is only for women.
This programme not only provides women with empowerment but also provides safety for women so that they can be able to stand in this society without any fear.
With the help of these two aims, I want to create a society where education for all and women's empowerment become a priority for everyone. I think that Miss Earth gives me a platform and an opportunity where I can stand proudly in front of society and not only raise my voice but start working together, because "Selfless giving is the art of living."
ARSHIYA
Project Uday and Dhara
The three fold objective of Project Uday is to employ semi-skilled underprivileged women for stitching cloth-based products like bags, sanitary nap
kins, face masks, etc. as replacements for plastic alternatives, to mitigate plastic & textile pollution and to spread awareness of Menstrual Health & Hygiene. Upon research, it was concluded that the annual cost of conventionally available plastic based sanitary napkins is nearly five times as compared to reusable eco-friendly cloth-based sanitary napkins. Therefore, for a spectrum of menstruators barring gender, from rural & sub-urban communities, these cloth-based sanitary napkins are not only economizing but also a prudent alternative. By utilizing waste cloth as an alternative to plastic, Project Uday is a pivotal tool in reducing textile waste & plastic load in oceans.

*Title- Mission संकल्प
*Body- "Mission संकल्प" is an awareness program
against litter and about 3 basic resolutions each one of us can make to
restore the ecosystem.
The thought behind this project was, I’ve always believed that it is our responsibility to respect and acknowledge everything that the environment has given mankind and to take pledge to protect it.Therefore with the help of digital media in the period of lockdown, I tried and aware people on plastic pollution crises. Introduced 3 basic resolutions for betterment of the nature:
Always throw trash in dustbins
Maintain cleanliness where ever you go
Minimise the usage of single-use plastic.
I also discussed my ideas with the Department Of Environment, Science and Technology, Govt. of Himachal Pradesh and they found it incredibly life changing and helped me throughout my project. I further aim to expand the project through this remarkable platform.

Project: Parirakshan (परिरक्षण अभियान)
Seeing the statistics of landfills in India it is a condition of major concern.
Emi
ssions from landfills pose a threat to the health of those who live and work around landfills.
Landfills produce various gases like methane, carbon dioxide etc. that contribute to climate change and global warming.
Also it gives a lot of other hazardous effects to the environment from soil, water, air to its living beings.
We can convert this hell scene to heaven by little contribution from each individual by sustainable practices.
The project परिरक्षण aims to promote sustainable practices by people by organizing some campaigns.
And also the focus is to promote and contribute in education of garbage management and sustainable living in schools and NGOs .
So that these children make healthier and safer future and bring the bigger change.

Namaste I am Ayushi Tomar a 25-year-old multitalented physiotherapist belong to Indore. THE TREES are our lungs, the rivers our
circulation, the air our breath, and the earth our body. I love to plant trees and water them daily as I believe whatever we give to our mother earth comes back to us in a certain way. So is reflected in my project ‘Sanjeevani’
As a doctor I perceive environment in the form of healer and treating us very well
Different parts of plant help us to treat different diseases like cancer, cough, fever etc. In my project I focus to plant medicinal herbs. Some plants are like doctors help us to fight diseases.
Example-
The fleshy Leaves of aloe vera is used for the treatment of burns, acne and skin problems.
I am connected with two foundations i.e., scientech eco foundation and Mati tatva agro industries both committed to plant trees. One is specialised for growing medicinal plants collecting raw material and make powders and medicines to be used by us.
I have planted more than 100 plants till date the goal is to reach 1000 and more till my life. Also, I wish to expand my project in under developed areas.

PROJECT: DYAVAPRITHVI
Dyavaprithvi means Universe and Earth, project Dyavaprithvi stands for Recycling and Managing household waste.
We all throw our whole househo
ld waste in trash without even realizing what damage we are making to earth. We can try to make things better by separating out organic waste in our home and prepare compost, which can be further used for plantation in our gardens. If this practice is done on a large scale, then we can limit the use of fertilizers to an extend which is causing harm to our nature.
Recycling is a simple, yet effective way of conserving resources and reducing your individual carbon footprint. Rather than throwing everything in the trash, separate your plastic, paper, and metal waste, and deposit it in a recycling bin. Recycling helps reduce landfill pollution, raw materials and fossil fuel consumption, and generates a circular economy.
As an individual, I’m practicing this activity at my home. We have grown a lot of vegetables and fruits (depending on the environment) like brinjal, capsicum, chilies, bottle guard, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, spinach etc. at our home on the terrace. If I get an opportunity I will love to promote it on a bigger scale and for sure it will be helpful for the environment.

Coming from the beautiful state Odisha and spending my childhood enjoying the mesmerizing beauty of Jagannath Dhaa
m Puri beach have always made me passionate about preserving this beauty for the future generations.
But the last gathering that’s happening in this beach destabilize the environment polluting it to the extreme extent. We must try and understand that cleanliness should be the topmost priority to make our lives lead smoothly.
It is very important to educate the children and youth regarding the importance of environment and protection of the environment from pollution and degradation.
Global warming is make life on life very difficult so it is very crucial to promote afforestation and protecting ourselves from this danger.
I am very eager to work for the upliftment and betterment of the society in every possible way. It is us who can make and bring the change just need to focus and change our mindset.

Unwrapped Earth
The wellbeing of a soul lies in the wellbeing of its body. Isn’t it surprising that nature has been wrecked gradually? The most spartan cause of all i
s the effect of plastic in nature.
The illiteracy of the non-biodegradable plastics has made a severe impact. Since 2015 around 32% of plastic is leaked into the environment as they are very convenient and easily available, and has harmed species. But, how can we help us by helping the nature to heal?
Reviewing the various ideas, I was drawn towards starting my own project UNWRAPPED EARTH. I started promoting alternative options for plastic.
Being associated with an NGO has also helped me to understand that how milk packets can literally be hazardous. And how we can recycle it and convert into plastic goods in the factory.
I am on a vision to provide people substitutes of plastic. We are promoting bottles made of glass and motivates people to buy milk in those bottles from local milk vending machines or local suppliers .
As education being an essential part of this journey, I strongly believe that little efforts leads to big changes, So I Bhawna Vaishnav, invites you all to stand together against nature destruction.

Green Menstruation
My advocacy called " Green Menstruation " is an innovative and a one step beyond the idea of menstrual hygiene . It enlightens the highly ignored part
of sanitary pad usage that is , it's disposal . My project ' Green Menstruation ' not only takes care of menstrual hygiene but also of our mother earth by reducing the environmental pollution.
Green Menstruation is to spread the awareness of the use of sanitary pads amongst the women and to protect the earth from pollution by using decent ways of sanitary pads disposal.

Project: introducing Neo X
There are three hundred and thirty six million menstruating women in India , they use upto five hundred million sanitary pads each year . Man
y girls flush sanitary pads which gets into rivers and oceans even before that it may clog the plumbing which costs a lot of time to find and clean out , with that one hundred and million pads are flushed each year that’s a lot of waste in our rivers . There are women who choose to trash the sanitary pads in plastic covers . 15% are found to be open releasing cancer causing affluents into the air. The rest are dumped into landfills where they decompose rent free for another 500 years .
Neo X is a fully automated machine equipped with time and sensors and can safely incinerate 50 sanitary pads in a matter of minutes. Within 5 minutes the used sanitary pad turns into ash , eliminating all bacteria and viruses in the process
Thus,Neo X is the safest , smartest and most responsible way to dispose our sanitary waste .
Any place that generates reject waste can house a Neo X. We have entered 8 cities now in India and 4 countries . It is installed in public sectors and also at kempegowda International Airport. I am aiming to install this in schools and colleges around the world and spread awareness on this new clean tech , without harming the air , water and marine lives . Don’t trash it . Ash it!

When I heard about the problem faced by the people of my city due to algal bloom in river tapi, it made me curious to know about this species but what
9;s so great about algae?
It grows quickly and require non-productive and non-arable land
Algae provide sustainable food supplements
Some algae naturally contain and produce a bioplastic called PHB
Algae Can Have High Biofuel Yields and act as energy source
Algae Consume CO2
Algae Can Purify Wastewaters and helps soil
Algae can be an important ingredient in cosmetics and skin care.
Side effects of Algae (Algal bloom)- Algal blooms produce toxins that reduce the suitability of water for human consumption.
Solutions to Algal Bloom
Choose non-toxic phosphate-free products
Pick up and dispose of pet waste
Incorporate native vegetation, Allow natural vegetation to grow near the water’s edge.
Practice relative awareness of changing climate and research support.
Ultrasound Bloom Treatment
Work done till now: Had a company visit in Surat and learned about algae cultivation . Tried to make nutrition rich algae at home which can be consumed. Started using sustainable products.
Future Plans: Conduct awareness programs to prevent algal bloom in the surrounding water bodies.
Raise funds for distribution of Spirulina amongst undernourished children.
Promote algae cultivation and its benefits.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE NEEDS AN END
When people think of domestic abuse, they often focus on domestic violence. But domestic
abuse includes any attempt by one person in
a marriage or intimate relationship to dominate
and control the other. Domestic violence and abuse are used for one purpose and one purpose
only: to gain and maintain total control over you. An abuser doesn’t “play fair.” An abuser uses
fear, guilt, shame, and intimidation to wear you down and keep you under their thumb.
Domestic violence and abuse can happen to anyone; it does not discriminate. Abuse happens
within heterosexual relationships and in same-sex partnerships. It occurs within all age ranges,
ethnic backgrounds, and economic levels. And while women are more often victimized, men
also experience abuse—especially verbal and emotional. The bottom line is that abusive
behavior is never acceptable, whether from a man, woman, teenager, or an older adult. You
deserve to feel valued, respected, and safe.
PROJECTS JYOTI INITIATES TO:-
It is an opportunity to bring the issue to the forefront, advocate for change,
celebrate survivors, and mourn those who have tragically lost their lives to
domestic violence.
Domestic violence is a deep routed issue that affects our family members,
friends, collegues, and many other members of our community.
To uplift the role of women in society and make them feel empowered to
stand for themselves.
The project focuses to encourage women to follow their thoughts because
every women has a voice, they just need to feel empowered to use it.

Far From Plastic
We all know that plastic is causing great harm to our nature as it is neither biodegradable nor decomposable. So, because of this reason we see plastic ever
ywhere around us in the form of garbage. Then, we say do not litter here and there which is absolutely right because animals like cow eat them up mistakenly and fall sick, so why not substitute plastic with other organic substitutes. Definitely, in today's world a complete ban of plastic is very tough but then why not start with little step. Let's just stop unnecessary use of plastic and let's use other possible organic things which are easily available to us. For example, in my house we have planted plants in dried coconut shell, this is absolutely free and people can switch to it with any problem. Jute bags can be used instead of plastic polythene. Steel water bottles can be used instead of plastic ones. So, just try to find out only possible organic substitutes for plastic wherever possible .

Lets unite to save the environment
Our environment is under distress and it is not a hidden fact anymore. The threat it is facing right now is alarming and it is our duty
to save it before it gets too late. As inhabitants of this earth, everyone must come together to do their bit to save our environment. After all, it is because of our activities that our ecological balance has been disturbed. We must make sure that instead of over-exploiting the environment’s resources, we must conserve them. It is important to note that even the littlest of actions impact the environment directly or indirectly.

Project: RAKT
About half the world’s population menstruates, and yet conversation about female hygiene and the ecological impact of product choices, wasn’t spoken abo
ut. Even in 2022, most women in India trust the sanitary pads over menstrual cups. Approximately 121 million women and adolescent girls in India use disposable sanitary napkins. And hence, every year around 63 billions of tampons, applicators and pantyliners flush in toilets around the world contributing to ocean plastic that never breaks down. Depending on the materials used in the manufacture of the sanitary pads, it could take up to 800 years to decompose a single sanitary napkin.
To deal with menstruation in a healthy and hygienic manner, sustainability is the only way forward. And hence I’ve come up with my project RAKT to spread awareness for zero waste periods by switching to Menstrual cups. They are made up of medical grade silicon, which is derived from silica and will slowly go back to its original state when it degrades. Menstrual cups are not just sustainable in nature, but eco-friendly as well. Unlike sanitary napkins or tampons, they do less damage to the environment. A cup saves one from period hassles, rashes, skin infection, leakage and allows physical activity and can last for years together, decreasing waste creation thus improves menstrual health and lowers waste creation.
You cannot change the whole world, but you change one thought, and the world will change on its own. Be the change you want to see in the world by saying NO to sanitary pads and tampons and YES to zero waste periods.

My warm greetings to the team!
I am Mehar Arora, founder of Project Hale. It was officially initiated two years ago to tackle the problem of water b
orne diseases in rural communities due to the habit of consuming unhygienic drinking water.
We distribute portable, reusable, eco-friendly and efficient bottle and tap filters which are medically fit and certified in these areas. To help people understand the importance of drinking clean water and usage of these filters we conduct awareness sessions before the distribution. The filters are made of food grade plastic hence after it's validity we also conduct recycle drives to give back not just to the society but also the environment.
We have been working with rotaract clubs, ngos, college associations etc in many rural and semi urban areas and have reached out to more than five hundred families. Our mission is to make every household free of water borne diseases as water is not a luxury, it's a necessity, it's a right!

Aluva city was flooded very badly in 2018 leading to pollution of the Periyar river, Death of the ecosystem, and degradation of land. My Periyar riverfront project proposal aimed at designing a resilient landscape infrastructure for urban flood mitigation of the Periyar river by raising the edge and stabilizing it with vegetation and planting native species in large no. And creating rain gardens. which will help combat climate change, clean the air, help prevent soil erosion, and prevent flooding.
It also aims at preserving and conserving wetlands which help in water purification and support the ecosystem.
Be a part of the Euterria project by taking a small initiative because together we can protect our mother earth. It's not yours, it's not mine. Its Ours So protect our mother who nourishes us.
The project Eutierria further will focus on:
Spreading awareness about planting trees through conducting tree walks, Workshops on composting, climate change, benefits of kitchen gardening, etc.
Presenting the proposal to the Aluva municipal corporation and with the help of stakeholders bringing the Periyar riverfront proposal into action.
Distributing pamphlets about the benefits of tree plantation, composting, rain garden construction, wetlands conservation, and creating awareness through social media.

Project: R-BOW-An initiative
An initiative by Monica Anumula and under the guidance of Divine Group Foundation). My Project R-BOW means Re-Birth Of Waterbodies.
Hy
derabad was formally known as the city of lakes but due to rapid urbanization, lakes are dying and polluted due to encroachments, debris and garbage dumping, and realizing sewage directly into rivers which leads to inundation/local flooding and water shortage. Recently Hyderabad has faced urban floods in 2020.
The government has come up with many programs such as Mission kakatiya, CSR and SNDP
My mission on creating project R-BOW that means (RE-BIRTH OF WATER BODIES) is to create awareness about the importance of water bodies among the people. Myself and my team are working to improve the conditions of Saroornagar lake.
We Conducted awareness campaigns and also educated localities surrounding the lake to undertake initiatives to restore and protect urban lake's bodies because they play a crucial role in maintaining and restoring ecological balance.
I would like to inspire everyone to take responsibility for water bodies. I believe, “To see the change, first be the change”. So let’s not destroy our water bodies in the name of development, because it’s our responsibility to protect, respect, and love our nature.

WASTE INTO WEAR
Our planet is turning filthy day after day with the ever rising waste of plastic bottles. According to the estimates, in 2019, global plastic waste produc
tion touched ~29 million tonnes and the numbers are multiplying every single year. But what if I told you that we can turn that waste into wear!
My project Waste into Wear focuses on promoting - recycling the plastic bottles and turning them into fashionable t-shirts. By making this conscious choice of turning towards green t-shirts, you will be contributing in reducing ~5 PET bottles (per t-shirt) from Earth. Also it saves our planet from the hazardous effects of consuming fast fashion that we are all aware of!
Let's make our Earth greener by recycling 5 bottles at a time :)

We all know the situation that our Mother Nature is going through. Climate change. When such a disaster is happening at such an extent then why do we fail
to talk about it?
The answer is lack of awareness.
Project Prithvi combats the situation by social media, campaigns, cleanliness drives and spreading the word about climate change and how minute changes in our lifestyle can create a ripple effect in the world. We are not working for a better tomorrow, we work for a better today! In the moment we need to act as profoundly as we can.
The problem does not get solved with just regulating what we buy and use, we need to reach out to world leaders and leading emission industries to move past the age of carbon.
Miss Earth India being a strong platform, and with the support I can reach out to more people and propogate my project on the world level.
Thank you for this amazing opportunity.

Sustainable Menstruation
An estimated 423 million sanitary napkins containing plastics are generated in India annually and have a strong potential to cover landfills spre
ad over 24 hectares alone. The menstrual pads are made up of 90% plastic, right from the leak-proof base to the packaging. It takes about 500-800 years for a single pad to get decomposed.
Most of these sanitary pads end up in landfills, with their chemicals leaching the soil, thus contributing to land pollution. If we bury them they will not degrade and will add to the plastic burden of the earth in the landfills and oceans and if we burn them they release toxicity. I think this is the perfect time when along with period education we can make women aware of sustainable menstrual hygiene products and their impact on the environment. The Indian government is taking a lot of efforts to provide menstrual products free of cost to all the menstruators who cannot afford them.
Instead of providing sanitary pads, it would be ideal to give and educate a menstrual, it will not only have a positive environmental impact but will also help in the economic growth of the country. Things are changing, with an increase in education of women they are making informed choices. The damage from our throwaways is accumulating somewhere. We can all make a difference. Every step towards sustainability counts.

Project Mansi is an initiative to make natural environment clean green & safe.The common concept of the natural environment encompasses two different compo
nents: Ecological units that operate as natural systems (such as soil, vegetation and so on)Project Mansi is an Non-Profitable Organization that works to reduce, reuse and recycle.we reuse and recycle plastic bottles and make diy products in order to make environment secure. Wasting and dumping plastic bottles is one of the main causes of environment pollution.
We should eradicate using word "Waste" Intsead of this use "Reuse" & Recycle.
We make bird and animal feeder from plastic bottles because it is very important for them also to eat and drink properly in this steaming hot whether.
We also use diy home fertilizers for plants so that we don't waste thing and reuse and recycle them
Project mansi aims to secure the environment for coming generation and usage of less plastic.

PROJECT: VITAL
This Project is about save soil movement
Soil is a Habitat upon which zillions of life thrive. We have only 45-60 years of agricultural soil left
on our planet.
What we are facing now is soil extension..
Why is soil becoming extinct ? Where is it going away? What is happening to our soil?
Once there is no richness in soil, The soil become sand..
In the Next 25 years we will face food shortages, If we fail to save our soil.
Soil is our living organism, Soil is not a Resource, Soil is a Source of Our life and we need to Rejuvenate it.
By adding organic content to it, By Feeding the microorganisms and By planting more Trees.
Through My Project My Vision/Mission is to Protect our soil, Make People Aware of this, and Grow more and more Trees.
Its a Very Big issue which our World is Facing, Problem like Climate Change, Global Warming, Carbon Emissions etc. can be cure immediately when Experienced, But when it comes to Soil it will uncontrollable if we didn't care about it Right away.
Soil is not our Property its a legacy that we have recieved and We Must Pass it on.
LET'S BECOME CONSCIOUS,
LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN.

"New Horizons": Dhyas Foundation
I am Rasika Dhobale, a Model/ Fashion Designer based in Mumbai. Stay green, conserve energy, but first recycle plastics, is a statement I
live by, which is why I am honored to be associated with DHYAS Foundation.
Dhyas Foundation started its journey in 2017 with an aim for gradually reducing the waste from the surrounding in a small city called Vasai. The vicinity of heritage Vasai fort and beach were affected by waste materials from households, mainly the plastic waste. To deal with waste dumping and improper plastic segregation and treatment is one of the major concerns of our developing nation. We have primarily started cleaning the environment, explaining and educating the people about cleanliness, simple waste segregation methods, avoiding single use plastic bags, etc. by merely few think tanks in society. We have also set up several waste collection centers across Vasai-Virar with more than15 centers overall.
MISSION: To reduce and eliminate single use of plastic & to educate women in India to use pads made out of bamboo pulp, wood pulp or bamboo charcoal pads, all of which are highly absorbent and safe, not only for health but also for the environment. A majority of the pads are plastic-based. According to Menstrual Health Alliance India, of the total sanitary waste generated in the country, about 45% is due to menstrual products, largely sanitary napkins.
While plastic-based menstrual hygiene products are available in abundance, it is advisable to switch to a natural, safer product that does not have any harmful chemicals or synthetics fibers. Your intimate care is as important as any other personal care. Period.
Let us all come forward and take a pledge! Reuse the past, Recycle the present and Save the future.

An initiative to start Millet cultivation in the remote
areas of Assam
Millet cultivation is gaining importance due to increasing health issues, ecological benefit and water shortage. Govt. of India declared 2018 as the national year of Millets. Accepting the proposal of India FAO has declared 2023 as the international year of Millets. Millets comes under the category of “poaceae” family of small, round ‘cereal’ grain. Recently, entrepreneurs, NGO’s Chefs and government is also understanding the importance of this ancient grain. Millet is eco friendly. It can grow in any kind of sand. Its cultivation needs 70 % less water than wheat and rice. It even does not need fertiliser and pestiside.Millets can be stored for a long period of time. Its cultivation will reduce ground water depreciation, so it is environment friendly.
There are two kinds of millets.
1) Major Millets :
A) Pearl Millets ( Bajra)
B) Sorghum (Jawar) 2)Minor Millets A)Finger(Ragi) B)Little(Kutki) C)Foxtail(Kangani) D)Barnyard(Sanwa) E)Proso(Chena)
F) Kodo(Kodra)
G) Brown top.
Millets is full of fibers. Foxtail, Little, Kodo, Barnyard, Browntop Millets are positive grains and Jawar, Bajra, Finger, Proso, Corn Millets are Neutral grains, Whereas wheat and rice come in the category of Negative Grains.
Millets have various Health benefits. It works as Anti-Diabetic and weight loss and also purifies Blood.
Millet cultivation is highly tolerant of drought and other extreme weather condition. Millets cultivation can bring autonomy, empowerment and self-sufficiency.
• I personally visited village area near our locality along with a group of women and talked with the native tribal people about the importance of Millet cultivation, its health benefits and its environment friendliness. And I was happy to see that they became interested for such kind of cultivation which can empower them and make them self sufficient

Save water, save lives
The idea of clean rivers and water bodies with minimal pollution is far from reality because almost 80% of the world's wastewater is dumped int
o our oceans - mostly untreated. The pharmaceutical effluents can cause antimicrobial resistance in water bodies, estimated to cost 10 million lives a year, according to the World Health Organization. For this reason, the best solution is to reduce the pollution at the source and limit our medication intake. My research project, ongoing for the past 5 years, uses electricity as medicine for patients with movement disorders and can reduce medication intake per patient by almost 50%. With almost 1% of the world struggling with their movements, this research has the potential to save our drinking water from contamination all over the globe and I want to use the Miss Divine Beauty platform to raise awareness for the same.
Nearly 40% of the food produced in India is wasted every ye
ar – a figure estimated by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). This is the loss that occurs even before the food reaches the consumer.
The total population of humans under the claws of hunger is already alarming. Moreover, it has been increasing at an ever so scary rate since 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Improvement strategy using RRR:
Reduce, Reuse & Recycle
The following is a set of measures to take:
Reduce the growth in demand of food by controlling the population
Shift to a more sustainable diet
Expanding food production in hunger stricken areas
Improving soil & water management
Restore and protect natural ecosystems
Limit agricultural land shifting
Reforest agricultural lands
Reduce emissions of greenhouse gases
Future Implementation Plan:
Installation of Food vending machines
Food Collection drives
Creating a scheme to buy back unsold veggies in return for a small sum of money or coupons
Conducting awareness programs everywhere possible; specially in schools and colleges
Dedicating a day to celebrate National Food day, preaching the idea of food management and sharing

Piplantri Perspective
Nature's unique solution
It takes a village to save the planet! A Village named Piplantri located in Rajsamand district
in Rajasthan State is the living example for the same. You will be astonished to know that nature has embodied unique and incredible solutions to the world’s modern problems
In a country where daughters are historically considered as a burden, where dowry system and violence against women are still a heated topic. Piplantri residents are planting whooping 111 plants every time a little girl is born.
The culture of planting trees to welcome the birth of female children seem to completely reject these historical constraints and foster hope that attitude towards women can change. Not only does this beautiful tradition foster a deep appreciation for females in the village but it also instills A remarkable sense of environmental stewardship.
Don’t you think it’s a clever idea?
Well, fasten your seat belts, you will be mind blown to know how this village has created a truly sustainable future.
We might not think that something as small as a sapling could change the world but remember that sapling will one day grow into an enormous tree.

Mission EcoGreen
Save the environment,' they say. Save it from what? I wonder. 'Save it from being depleted, else your generation will perish.
I hav
e been told that we need to preserve water. I have been told that we need to preserve food, fuel and all other resources. However, often I wonder, was the previous generation told the same thing? The answer is rather simple. The generation before ours didn't care, and now WE must pay the price. Would you rather have the same things happen to your children, the next of your kin, the next generation?
Protecting the earth should be an ongoing mission for each and everyone. It is we, who are responsible for draping our environment green. Protecting our environment is everyone's job because we all have an impact. Simple Things You Can Do to Help Protect the Earth-Reduce, reuse, and recycle, Volunteer, Educate, Conserve water, Choose sustainable, etc.
Although keeping our little corner of the planet clean and green may seem daunting at times, even small steps add up.

PROJECT: KARTAVYA
Slogan - The responsibility is ours.
Motive - My project strives to conserve biodiversity.
What is biodiversity?
The va
riety and variability of life on Earth. It is the web of life.
Causes of biodiversity loss.
Humans have altered the environment in the quest to dominate the planet. Over one million species are on the verge of extinction.
The United Nations (UN) has warned that every day 150 species become extinct.
• Global climate change due to increased pollution levels.
• Burning of fossil fuels.
• Fragmentation of habitat
• The abusive and unsustainable use of natural resources.
• Hunting and illegal trafficking.
• Deforestation, tropical rain-forests have been destroyed and it has been counted as a matter of concern amongst the ecologists.
Consequences -
The extinction of almost ¼ of the entire species on the earth is predicted in next 30 years. It may be that another 100 years would mark an end to the existence of life on earth.
• A keystone species has the power to largely effect entire ecosystems simply by performing natural behaviors for survival, so maybe ecosystems would collapse if keystone species go extinct.
• Declining biodiversity lowers an ecosystem’s productivity and the quality of the ecosystem’s services.
• Reduced biodiversity means millions of people face a future where food supplies are more vulnerable to pests and disease, and where fresh water is in irregular or short supply.
• Loss in biodiversity may limit discovery of potential treatments for many diseases and health problems
• The loss of species—even those replaced by invasives—has been shown to cause more unpredictable weather
• Loss of livelihood - From fishermen to farmers, biodiversity—not to mention healthy ecosystems—is essential to maintaining livelihoods.
What can we do?
• Education
• Protection of species
• Protection of habitats
• Stop deforestation
• Prevent overhunting and overfishing
• Prevent species invasion
• Stop pollution
Objectives and future plans of Project Kartavya.
• Increase awareness about environmental issues.
• Setup bird or bat houses, water and food arrangements for birds, cattles and roadside animals wherever possible. Hence protecting local habitats and make wildlife welcome.
• Condemn deforestation or felling of tress.
• Reduce, Reuse and recycle resources.
• Convice people to reduce their carbon footprint.
• Promote use of environment friendly and sustainable products.
• Promote ways to reduce pollution, especially the use of plastic which and other products that are harmful to the environment.
• File petition regarding Legislation that protects natural habitats by outlawing development, harvesting of natural resources, or other human exploitation. It has a huge impact on maintaining natural biodiversity.
• Along with the support of the government establish more national parks, biosphere reserves and wildlife sanctuaries.

We Four Legged People
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”- Mahatma Gandhi
Animals, whether we
are aware or not, play a
huge role in our lives and in the environment.
Therefore, it’s in our best interest to help them
however we can. Stray animals roam the streets of India, without food, veterinary care or refuge from its often punishing elements. We’re fighting to give them a chance.
I have been working with an NGO called Udaipur Animal Feed with its main objective to feed stray animals of our beautiful city Udaipur everyday and also helps sick, injured, abused homeless animals .
We have been spreading awareness among people to adopt an stray instead of buying from pet shops. Also educating public to reduce abuse and promote fostering and adoption.
Adopting an stray dog is always better. They are friendly, loving and comparatively low maintenance in nature. Also indie dogs which are native to the Indian subcontinent, can survive harsh tropical weather.
At any given time, up to 30 to 35 million stray dogs roam India's city streets; starving, lonely, and often injured because most people consider them to be lost causes. India's animal welfare system struggles with a lack of personnel and capital.
In addition to feeding stray animals everyday, In this summer, water bowls have been kept and distributed at every street of city so that stray animals can get water to drink.
Helping animals in need is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Even the smallest things can have significant effects on the lives of animals. If you are not able to volunteer or foster, you can still help just by giving some food to them in your street.

Sashakt Meaning: To be able to; समर्थ
"Fighting Climate Crisis, For Women by Women"
Nutrition, Climate, Agriculture
and Environment are all tied-up and women are indispensable part of it.
I have always believed that to have a voice of an opinion which works for society welfare and planet as a whole is a real bliss.
To be able to help others and in return have self-upliftment is what humanity is all about. Given the present scenario of climate crisis where, whatever ‘Natural’ the eye can behold needs to be "Conserved", "Protected" as if nothing God-made is safe. Women undoubtedly are bearing the severe wrath of this Eco-damage.
Especially in the developing world, where scarcity of any form - Finance, Food, Water, Wood, Education, Pure Air; hit women fiercely. On the opposite, consumerist lifestyle cascades to future generation, where kids learn and understand from their mothers in their formative years. Much learning about living in close harmony with nature, and adopting an eco-friendly mindset stems in growth years.
Moreover, the drastic changes in the environment: Drought, Floods, Scarcity of Food and Water Supply, irregular Weather Cycles effect women incalculably.
To combat the aforementioned, I advocate for "Project Sashakt", a medium to make women aware - not only they have a choice to make, but they need to make a conscious choice to protect environment and adopt sustainable lifestyle measures primarily at grassroot and community level.
I advocate for "Project Sashakt" to become a name to be familiar with, much on the lines of "Swach Bharat" and be inspired by leading Eco-women to make sustainable life choices.

Mission Pawsible
Every year, millions of animals are killed in India either to feed the non-vegetarian population or in laboratories for medical experiments. Cruelty against
animals is a cognizable offence under Section 428 and Section 429 of the Indian penal code. There is an urgent need to implement effectively the laws made for the protection of animals. The first step towards which is educating children to have respect for animals and treat with them kindly. Food and shelter should be provided to street dogs by government shelters, and registered firms and NGOs to assure their safety. There is also a need to have stricter laws for protection of animals.

Tree Plantation
Im doing Law just because i want to understand all the legal sections which are against people who are harming our mother earth while cutting trees for no
reason and doing law education will not only allow me to understand but also about taking action legally against the system who is supporting one lobby of our society who are against nature & mother earth.
In India most expensive activity is hiring lawer against any crime but if i will be lawyer i will fight by my own against those who are doing unethicall activities against nature, earth & becoming hurdle in the process of green revolution..
When i was 15 yrs old, i was attracted towards kitchin garden, its inherent, not forced by someone else.
I have implemented one thing in my life that whomever im giving gift, it should be plant no matter what they are thinking . I believe that if you do something strongly & with positive mind set, you achieve success, so today my relatives & my friends are doing the same activity, if we all come against this materialistic life of giving luxury gifts & start gifting plants, trust me we will not only help mother earth but will contribute to nature, will live meaningful life becuase real luxury of life is breathing fresh air, seeing greenery from your naked eyes.
Plant a tree, gift a tree !!!!!!!
Save tree , save mother earth !!!!!
Benefits of trees :-
1. Cleaner air across the country
2. They Controll temperatures
3. A new habitat for wildlife
4. Trees cool our homes, streets, and cities.
5. Trees help buffer noise pollution.

RIGHT TO EDUCATION ( MY INDIA : MY PRIDE )
| CHILD EDUCATION: RIGHT TO EDUCATION |
An African proverb says,
"If we educate a boy, we educate one person. If we educate a girl, we educate a family and a whole nation".
By sending a girl to school , she is far more likely to ensure that her children also receive education.
As many claim, investing in a girl's education is investing in a nation’s future development. The immediate benefit and long term impact of educating a girl is astonishing. Health improves, Economic Growth, Societies are transformed. When girls are educated , their families, communities, and nations prosper. Educated girls are changing the world.
I believe that education is the most potent weapon available for changing the world. I come from a family where my parents instilled in me the importance of education as universal key to success in life.It offer’s us the ability to take up physical space. So In order to raise awareness about the importance of Education in society I decided to work on this social cause.
Over 3.7 million of children are not in school's as they are still untouched by the modern development and their fundamental rights.
India became one of 135 Countries to make education a fundamental right of every child when The Right To Education Act came into force on 1st April 2010. Millions of children will benefit from this initiative ensuring quality education with equity.
I pledge to become a collective voice for underprivileged children all across the world and to assist them selflessly.
Together we can make difference.
Let’s choose a better world for our future generations.

Eco Responsibility
* Around 190 million tons of single use plastics are used every year out of which 9% is recycled,12 % is incinerated releasing harmful gases into the a
tmosphere and 79% are dumped into landfills and oceans polluting mother Earth.
* At least 100,000 mammals and birds die consuming plastics each year.
* 81 out of 123 marine mammal species are known to have eaten or been entangled in plastic.
What is Eco responsibility:-
It is all about taking responsibility for our actions by
1)Avoiding single use plastics wherever we can
2)Using the plastic alternatives
3)Using correct waste management methods for the right disposal
How it started:-
When I saw the death of a cow due to unknowing excessive plastic consumption for years, I realized that the only way we can protect ourselves is through our responsible actions.
Why Eco Responsibility is important:-
Every bit of plastics we are throwing today are not only affecting our ecosystem but also entering into human food chain. Traces of micro plastics are already identified in human blood for the first time. Our responsible actions of today is very important to protect our next generation from consuming the micro plastics.
Let us take the responsibility today to protect our tomorrow from dying.

Nirmal Hindon
Working with the MSME department has assisted me to take conscious steps and measures to save our mother Earth. Nirmal Hindon Abhiyan, an initiative of the
Uttar Pradesh government to clean and save a tributary of the river Yamuna focuses on 3 major aspects;
1. Afforestation drive - For 9 long years, I have been fortunate enough to conduct Van-Mahotsav (plantation drive) across the district of Ghaziabad and Baghpat where I with the help of industry workers have planted more than 4 lakh trees to irradicate deforestation.
2. Industrial effluent monitoring - 78 Megalitres per day in the form of industrial effluent is drained in the river Hindon from the catchment area, industrial effluent monitoring is another important aspect of my project where we monitor the wastewater generated from the factories and work on its recycling and reuse.
3. Public Awareness - The third and most important part of the project is public awareness. I have been conducting various workshops and campaigns in the rural and industrial areas to spread awareness and educate people on sustainable development goals.
By employing such sustainable measures, we are able to reduce the carbon footprint and other hazards that are contributing to global warming and ecological imbalance.

Title:- MAATI
Save Soil is a Global Movement to invoke a conscious approach to conserve Soil and planet in all.
Our Project :- MAATI Creates awareness amon
g people to save the mother soil from dying through three ways:-
1. Plant more and more trees which will increase the microbes content in the soil and also prevents from soil erosion.So we have conducted Surveys to make people understand the importance of plants .
Also i have been associated with my mother's school which creates awareness among children as they are the future of our country and with each admission we have provided plant as a token of gift.
2. Dumping wastes like plastic bottles which makes the soil unfertile and hence the soil becomes unhealthy and loss of good microbes . So we are planning to launch our earthen bottles which not only replaces plastic bottles but also good for our health .
3. Increasing the water content in soil :- The major cause of soil dying is lack of water content in the soil . So we have created rain water harvesting pit in our school to conserve rain water and also created awareness among people to create a RWH(rain water harvesting pit) .
As its a high time to save soil because it's no far when we have to struggle for daily meal as there will be no soil left for cultivation. So please step forward to save soil. As we have come from soil, grown up from soil and will end up in soil

PROJECT KUDRAT
Jai Hind !!
Over a century due to continuous exploitation of the resources of mother earth in the name of development without
acknowledging the server consequences, humam has bring the catastrophic disaster upon his head. Many people think climate change mainly means warmer temperatures. But temperature rise is only the beginning of the story. Because the Earth is a system, where everything is connected, the consequences of climate change now include, among others, intense droughts, water scarcity, severe fires, rising sea levels, flooding, melting polar ice, cataclysmic storms and declining biodiversity.
Nowadays, to redress the wrongs done in the past, people has come with the scheme of carbon offsetting wherein one is compensating for his carbon emissions by funding his money into projects which are carbon free. Simple but yet not effective, as people are still just finding their way out for burning more fossil fuels rapidly by introducing the world to new currency i.e carbon credits which I believe one day will become a supermarket.
As our environment is just not the supermarket, my PROJECT KUDRAT comes into play. In project Kudrat, I'm contributing in free carbon offsetting.
For carbon to offset without gaining carbon credits, I myself do every possible thing under my scope like planting trees, less consumption of fossil fuels, organic farming, etc which results into carbon free future . I help people to understand the sever conditions we are in and impel them to involve in PROJECT KUDRAT for carbon free future.
In the near future, I'm planning to conduct the educational workshops and put up my idea infront of our government for it's enlarged fruitful results.
I wish to expand PROJECT KUDRAT as such carbon offsetting doesn't become just a supermarket, it becomes a scheme which amends the worngs we had done.

DO IT FOR GOOD
Why waste something that can be used for some better cause??
Ever thought what happens to the hair when you chop them off?
. The presence of certain toxic elements which after deposition into water and soil may leach out and contaminate the environment and these toxic elements can enter into living organisms through food chain.
I came up with a solution to this issue that most people are not aware of.
I started "Do it for good" campaign together with " Hair for Hop India " for collecting chopped hair and making wigs out of them for cancer patients who lost their hair during chemotherapy.
Now, the question is what about the hairs that are less than 12 inches??
That hair can be used to make organic fertilizers.

Give back to our world, Our only World
It’s never too late to give back to our world who has everything that she got, That is why I present to you my project -
Give back to our world , Our only world.
Under the guidance of divine group foundation.
The soul vision is to protect and conserve the little water bodies like the lakes ,ponds around us by cleaning the dump and avoiding the plastic thrown in. Environment is a key existence in life on this very planet and there by the Goal is to strive towards cleaner water bodies by reducing Trash.
While the little water bodies that existed in my childhood are no more, I believe We need more man power and together we stand stronger than ever and rescue the resources that are on the brink of getting extinct ,So our future selves and generations have freshwater habitats surrounding us.
While little drops of water make up the ocean ,Individual contributions will take us larger lengths ,it’s time to drain away the dump that we have and Retrieve what we lost
By cleaning Ponds lakes we conserve the resource thus making this a significant change in our world.
Apart from spreading awareness and educating ,I believe impact is made only by actually cleaning it . This is my initiative to our society and seems practical only if it’s done .
We need to preserve these water bodies for our future and only then the generations coming ahead can benefit from this . My upcoming plan is to arrange drives to clean to water bodies and save our very own environment

PROJECT - AAKAR
(MOULDING ENVIRONMENT WITH THE FUSION OF HUMAN CREATION AND NATURE)
Being an Architect, I believe that the architectural profession plays a massive
role in determining the state of not only the natural environment, but in sustainable development as a whole.
All beings have certain basic needs. We must have food, water, air and shelter to survive. Air, water and food are available naturally but what is the one thing that is given in the hands of each being, living on this planet - building their houses and creating a shelter. But if it is not done carefully it will harm all other elements of the environment. Animals use materials that are naturally available without harming nature and we humans are doing exactly the opposite of it.
For mankind to preserve the planet’s ecological health, we must change our perception of what our homes and industrial buildings should look like, and blend these with nature, rather than replacing nature with concrete. To meet these requirements I have come up with a project named ‘AAKAR’. The vision of this project is to make buildings more green and adaptable to our surroundings and create buildings that are energy efficient.
Because of modern technology, we can not only preserve the environment but improve it.
There is a growing demand for eco-design, eco-climate and bio-climate design which combines elements of design and aesthetics with sustainability and ecology.
AAKAR has a strong commitment to design that synthesizes aesthetics and sustainability.

Project: Arjuna
Arjuna, one of the five Pandava brothers and the son of the god Indra, is the inspiration for this project. It was his hard work, determination, disciplin
e and humility that made him achieve his targets everytime. Same is the vision for this project, by extreme focus and clarity of the aims for this program we plan to achieve and execute the plan of divine millet movement with three different approaches by inculcating knowledge and influencing perceptions and attitudes and instilling appropriate behaviour practices.
Talking about millets, it’s been documented that there are a broad range of benefits of millets but most important of all is that it's a climate change crop. The country's harvest is being harmed by a record-
breaking heat wave that has also exposed hundreds of millions to these dangerous temperatures. Furthermore, the crop quality and the soil quality are expected to deplete along with a shortage of crops this season, hence with no further ado it's high time we act fast and work smart by indulging in the promotion of millets because they can thrive in harsh environments. Hence, in these times of travesty we need to switch to the alternate i.e. Millets which can be easily grown in arid and semi-arid regions and carry immense health benefits.

"LOVE HUMANITY TO LOVE EARTH"
I am really grateful to miss divine organisation for giving me a chance to work towards a noble cause. My advocacy is "Love Humanity to Love
Earth".
You must have heard somewhere that a human baby is named very meticulously...why is that so...because it is said that the meaning and properties of that name will be reflected in his/her character . My name Urvi means Earth and personally I can feel Earth. Earth has given us everything and in return it asks for nothing. Earth always wanted to see its dwellers happy , healthy and peaceful.
It is a fact that humans are the only creatures who have the ability to think and reason out. We use our creative minds to achieve our goals and attain power but can't we see the cost that we are paying. We have not even once thought about our Earth...the place we live...from where we extract resources.....we use the land to build our dream projects....we are taking out the habitats of creatures who can't understand what's happening to them.....they all are suffering because of us. We have caged our fellow humans as well.....males overpowering females....riches overpowering the poor and so forth. If we can't think about our fellow humans then how will we think about Mother Earth? This is what I want to stress upon.....Humanity is dying everyday and if this is not reminded now it will be too late and soon in no time our planet will also become a place where there will be no life.
"Let's bring Humanity to our Subconscious in order to support Nature in Abundance!"

g.
Namaste! I am Vanshika Parmar. I’m 19 years old and I hail from the apple state Himachal Pradesh.
Growing up as a daughter of theEarth who talks to plants and enjoys every breath with gratitude, I, initiated project Prakriti. The Divine Millet Movement gave me a meaning and purpose to the vision to serve mother Earth.
My advocacy- ‘Prakriti ’ works on 6 major principles:
First is the afforestation drive where I have till date planted more than 50,000 trees.
Second is the gift sustainability principle where I practice upcycling to creatively reuse and transform by-products,waste materials, useless or unwanted things into eco-friendly sustainable gifts such as hand painted terracotta pots, homemade cloth face-masks, old-tea set bird feeders, repurposed dresses drawer planters and repurposed tin can lanterns.
Third is the care and well-being of ill-treated animals. Growing up as an animal lover I have cared for and fostered several sick and stary abandoned animals and birds by means of organizing several fundraisers.
Fourth is the River Bank cleanliness drive where I have been an active part of the Ganges cleanliness drive and the Yamuna cleanliness drive.
Fifth is the proper waste management where I practice preparation of compost pits and segregation of bio-degradable and non-bio degradable waste.
Sixth is the public awareness where I conduct workshops and campaigns to educate people on sustainable development goals. By involving sustainable practices such as gifting saplings on festivals and special occasions, using paper and jute bags instead of plastic bags, car-pooling, switching to veganism and using bicycles we can reduce our carbon footprints.
Chief Seattle has rightly said- “We are part of the Earth and it is part of us. The perfumes flowers are our sisters; the deer, the horse, the great eagle: these are our brothers. All things are connected like the blood which unites one’s family.”

THE GREEN CHILD INITIATIVE
WHAT IS GREEN CHILD?
Children are quoted as ‘the purest form of humans’ and trees are what provide nature it’s purity.
The
idea of the GREEN CHILD INITIATIVE was created by a mere thought of putting children and trees
together. Children are the world’s most valuable resource and it’s best hope for the future, and
what the future needs is responsible citizens who understand the value of Mother Nature. THE
GREEN CHILD is an initiative for creating a greener future. We all know that our future generation
might not have a green and clean environment to live in due to ongoing climate changes, therefore I
have taken this project to reach out to children exclusively who have a difficult time finding
education and teach them about climate change and the role of trees in it.

Project vasundhara
My name it’s self means Mother Earth that’s why I have decided to name my project after my name
In which I have taken an initiative to red
uce reuse and recycle in order to conserve our planet an reduce the carbon footprint
My project is about creating awareness amongst people and how can we minimise the exploitation of nature
Because there is enough for everyone’s need but not for anyones greed,
And greed is something which keeps increasing,
And nature is something which give us peace and calms our minds,
We should explain people the harm which could be caused if we won’t protect our Mother Earth and keep exploiting I have taken the steps myself first before initiating others
I have encouraged people to buy handmade stuff which does not cause hazard to our nature and on the other hand creating employment.

Project #NoPlanetB:- One Planet, One Life
"One Planet" deals with preserving nature and "One life" deals with preserving a women's life.
Many people are bou
nd to make living particularly the lower-middle-class section of the society that covers the highest population of our country are unaware of the environmental issues.
Coming from a small community, I witness the lifestyle of such a background and my project works toward educating them about the hazards of the different kinds of pollution and the importance of taking up preventive measures.
Guiding them in daily activities from eco-friendly shopping, transportation, food, energy use, and many others.
The amount of environmental issues is limitless and nobody can take action towards preventing them unless they know about them. Project #NoPlanetB actively works towards spreading awareness about climate change and advising small community people to implement a sustainable lifestyle.
"One Life" is a campaign, I have been working toward women's development through the "unlearning realm". A design of knowledge for girls and women to create a lifestyle without the fear of social standards.

Project: FOOD FRIEND
I have been brought up in the capital city with fast paced internet connection and the latest fashion trends but my parents managed to keep the agric
ultural roots of India alive within me. Being born to a family of defence officers I had the privilege to eat food that was prepared from organic vegetables plucked straight from the kitchen garden behind our home. Growing up I saw mangoes weighing down the branches of the tree with their weight and squirrels steal every last strawberry that changed its colour from white to dark Lucious pink. I knew as a child that even yellow and red bell peppers first grow green and that lemons don’t need to be watered frequently as soon as the plant starts to flower. Spending time in the kitchen garden, sowing new seeds and watching fruits ripe attracted the inner child in me towards healthy eating. Through my advocacy food friend I aim to ignite this same love in the young generation to root themselves in the calm and patient process of gardening to later enjoy the healthy fruits of their labour. Yes, it will always be farmers that put food on our table but it is the responsibility of every household to teach the next generation to value the hard work it takes to feed a nation.

PROJECT : Go Green by planting more Trees
I always have admired Nature definitely its beautiful but more than that it has profoundness from
where we can learn a lo
t. I have taken the intiative to aware people of our responsibility towards
Trees. Trees provide us with oxygen, clean the soil by filtering sewage and chemicals, control noise
and air pollution, reduce flash flooding etc. We should honour and save trees in order to save life
and the environment . My family has always been interested in saving and planting more trees, and
after joining hands
with the seva bharti matramandal organisation, I began creating awareness by planting trees and
distributing trees while informing the recipients of their benefits.
I started this campaign with the intention of making a difference in the world that we are seeking by
joining hands together.
