We all need to move towards sustainable living to preserve the environment and the welfare of humankind. To create a better India, many youngsters are taking the initiative of protecting the environment by promoting sustainable ways of living. One such motivational story is of Paavan Suneja. He has started the initiative named ‘Prakriti’ by following his passion and love for the environment.

Inspiration for Starting Prakriti

Paavan Suneja is a student who recently completed his class 12th from Delhi Public School, Faridabad. He lives with his mother, father, and elder sister. Paavan’s father runs a chemist shop for the last 24 years. His mother is passionate about serving society and runs an NGO.

The Idea Behind Prakriti

It is a small startup that provides products that are biodegradable and eco-friendly. The products are a perfect replacement for some plastic products that we use in our daily lives. During the interview with Mad4India, Paavan mentioned, “The increasing use of plastic is an enormous threat to our environment. I wanted to play my role and preserve the environment. I have always been passionate about nature and thankful for all that it provides us with.”

How is Prakriti Beneficial?

Prakriti offers a variety of products at minimal costs. Paavan avails these products from small businesses and craftworkers who make wooden products. This initiative is not just beneficial for the environment but will also support small businesses during tough covid times. The products offered are made of natural fibers, wood, bamboo, charcoal, stainless steel, etc.

Paavan mentioned, ” The first toothbrush we all used is still on the earth. Most of the products we use on a day-to-day basis are nonbiodegradable and harm the environment. It is prime time that we replace them with something more sustainable. The products offered are eco-friendly, biodegradable, and promote sustainable living.”

  The lifestyle of the Iyer family is the dream life of many of us. So many of us are skeptical to take the first step of deciding to live this life. But the Iyer family gave up their home, job, school, and lived a nomadic life. It’s adventurous, isn’t it? How they’re always learning through real-life experiences and knowing the world outside their textbooks while traveling.

Image
  Education is a necessity to lead a life of dignity. Every individual has a right to education. Because of a lack of facilities, many girls do not get access to proper schooling. The quote that “where there is a will, there is a way” is suitable for the current story. A US-based non-profit organization CITTA has built a Rajkumari Ratnavati Girls school in the middle of the dusty Thar desert. It is a place that will empower and educate young girls and women in Rajasthan’s rural areas. Rajkumari Ratnavati – Architecture of the School The founder of CITTA, Michael Daube, hired US-based architect Diana Kellogg to design the school. Diana traveled to the state in 2014 and built the school by only incorporating ideas from the Indian culture. She gave the school an oval shape after observing that many households in Rajasthan had a courtyard in between the house. In many cultures, the oval shape symbolizes womanhood. The oval shape also naturally filters the sand and keeps the sun’s rays out.
