(1/5) #Gurugram-based Abhilasha Purwar and her brother Kshitij are laying the foundation to build a Bloomberg-style data analytics firm for the #environment. 
(2/5) Founded in 2018, their #startup Blue Sky Analytics created Zuri, an #AI platform to measure and monitor #farmfires and #stubbleburning in India.

(1/4) To encourage farmers to stop #stubbleburning, Udhami Kisan self-help group in Khosa Pando village of #Punjab's Moga district set a unique agro-machinery bank.
(2/4) This bank provides agro-machinery -- such as Mulcher, Happy Seeder, Bailer, Zero Drill and Roto Seeder -- at a nominal rent to manage crop residues, particularly #paddy #stubble.
(3/4) The impact has been amazing. Instead of burning stubble, 90% of the village's farmers have started ploughing the paddy residue back into the soil, improving soil fertility and increasing the next yield.
(1/5) A resident of #Punjab's Burj Deva Singh village, Gurbachan Singh, stopped burning the crop waste on his farm 20 years ago -- long before stubble burning was recognized as one of the primary causes of the smog that chokes #Delhi-NCR in winter.
(2/5) Making it his life’s mission, he even made the family of his sons' in-law take a pledge to shun stubble burning before marriage.
They endorse it too. I even gifted my daughters a machine known as Happy Seeder that cuts the old crop and sows the new seeds.

(1/5) Every year, millions of tons of farm #stubble and crop waste are burned in India — resulting in toxic, air-polluting #smog.
(2/5) Founded by #Pune-based siblings Shubham Singh and Himansha Singh, the #startup #Craste helps prevent this from happening by buying the stubble from farmers and creating products like tree-free #packaging and formaldehyde-free particle boards used to build #furniture.
(3/5) Craste does this through a patented proprietary process - Fumasolv - that separates three main components from crop waste, which are cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose.
Last year, Supreme Court passed an order saying-
THERE IS NO BLANKET BAN. #firecrackers.
Even after that,
Delhi govt has put blanket ban on #firecracker while Punjab Govt has allowed only 2 hours on #Deepawali.
If you face any issues,
I’ll defend you legally: free of cost.

#StubbleBurning is the process whereby farmers get rid of crop residues by torching them up, so as to create space for a fresh batch of crops. This annual activity leads to the exacerbation of recurring seasonal pollution.
