Solving The Waste Crisis
In The Indian Himalayan Region

Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh are known as ‘Dev Bhoomi’ or the ‘Land of the Gods’ due to their religious significance and are characterized by beautiful landscapes featuring several peaks, wildlife sanctuaries with rich biodiversity and gleaming rivers. Two of the most important rivers in the country, the Ganga and Yamuna, originate in the glaciers of Uttarakhand.

The two states have witnessed over 400 million tourists in the last decade, leading to an unprecedented increase in waste generation. Due to the lack of proper systems, most of this waste is dumped and burned, leading to a global environmental crisis!
