Addressing the rising air pollution issue, Pujya Swamiji shared GIWA’s film on Agriboard technology, which converts and compresses stumble and left over agricultural waste. This usually ends up getting burned and causing massive levels of pollution but it can be made into prefabricated and resilient construction sheets that can be used to create homes and buildings. He highlighted green technologies such as the Agriboard, Eco –Crematorium and Bio-Digester technology and inspired all stakeholders and the large number of media partners to contribute to these efforts with their time, talent and technology.
