Delhi Entrepreneur, Who Won Earthshot Environment Prize, Talks About Pollution Crisis
Satellite images of north India in the past week have revealed that the season of killer pollution is almost upon us again with a grey haze engulfing farms where crop burning has started. But what if farmers had a clean, green, efficient alternative? An Indian company, Takachar, has come up with a portable machine to turn crop residue into sellable bio-products for which it has won the Earthshot Environment Prize instituted by Britain's Prince William. Takachar's co-founder Vidyut Mohan speaks to NDTV about this new tech, how soon it can be scaled up and how he hopes to find a lasting solution to one of India's biggest climate crises.
