We are doing many duties in ecology and the setting. I’ve two philosophies — one is science/tech and one different innovation/entrepreneurship. This helps us convert waste to wealth.
No explicit particular person is a waste; no supplies is a waste, each. It relies upon upon the present ecology and imaginative and prescient of a administration. I’ll give the occasion of ‘waste to wealth’: We have three municipal waste mountains in Delhi. One is in Ghazipur, and now we’re using 20 lakh tonnes of municipal garbage for the ring freeway, which is a lifeline for Delhi. We have moreover used the garbage inside the Ahmedabad freeway constructing.
We are together with 15% ethanol. We are moreover making bio-bitumen from rice stock Parli, and now we’re formulating a scheme for Rs 20 lakh. Instead of burning Parli and considering the Delhi air air pollution, we’re altering it to bitumen. That’s why it is a waste to wealth.

We have taken only a few important picks. One is sweet roads. Secondly, we’re altering the type of gasoline. Now we’re using ANG, CNG, Biodiesel, Ethanol, and Methanol in vehicles.
