Especially in winter, North India witnesses a smog situation when the air quality becomes so poor that it becomes difficult to breathe and schools, offices are shut down. There will be a constant tiff between the government and the farmers over the crops being burnt and the agricultural waste which contributes to the air pollution. Upon witnessing this scenario, Indian entrepreneur Vidyut Mohan came up with a new idea to convert agricultural waste into fuel and fertilizers. His venture Takachar uses this unique technology to tackle the ongoing air quality problem in the country. Interestingly, it also won the Earth shot Prize under the ‘Clean Our Air’ category. It is said that this award is labeled as Eco Oscars set up by Prince William and the Royal Foundation.
