Sustainable Forests
India has witnessed urbanization, booming economy and huge population growth. This unsustainable growth has led to huge deforestation. Most cities in India are witnessing reducing forest and increasing stray animal population. The aim of this project is to establish small sustainable forest to support flora and fauna, reduce carbon footprint, and even stray animal population.
Agra Innovation Lab

AQI During Lockdown
Every year when AQI jumps past 400 in October/November there arises a scene of chaos when everyone is blaming crop burning farmers or Diwali or other factors. No one is ready to attest to the fact that actually the whole year AQI essentially remains above 100 i.e the safe limit. So what is actually choking India’s and Delhi’s air?
In this Air Pollution report, we have tried to bust some myths and do a deep dive into data to find out the real sources and challenges behind this Air pollution problem we are all facing.
Air Pollution Study: India
14 out of the top 20 most polluted are in India. As India’s air pollution monitoring network improved in the past few years with more and more cities being monitored, the number of Indian cities in the top polluters’ list zoomed, and everyday new cities popup on the list.
