#StubbleBurningReduction: Rural Women, Sustainable Products, Clean Air

The Crisis
Every October-November, North India chokes. Farmers burn 50+ million tons of crop stubble to clear fields. The smoke travels 400km. Delhi's air hits severe levels. PM2.5 spikes 50-75% above safe limits. Children cough. Elderly suffocate.

But farmers aren't villains—they're trapped. Manual stubble removal is expensive. Mechanical options are inaccessible. They need an income-generating alternative, not penalties.

Our Solution
Transform agricultural waste into products. Hire rural women to produce:

Biochar: Sustainable material for soil enrichment, water filtration, industrial use

Eco-Cutlery: Compostable utensils from parali + natural binders for corporate events, restaurants, institutions

Deploy through self-help groups of rural women. They earn ₹3,000-5,000 monthly. Stubble stops burning. Soil improves. Livelihoods grow.
