Delhi entrepreneur’s initiative to reduce air pollution in the capital

New Delhi-based entrepreneur Vidyut Mohan has partnered with Kevin Kung of the United States to take initiatives to help the country's capital reduce air pollution and prevent carbon emissions.

New Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) has fallen to 304 and now falls under the 'very poor' AQI category.

Every year around this time, the capital experiences an air emergency.

Several studies conducted to determine the rise in pollution levels in northern India conclude that the traditional practices of burning stubble contributed significantly to this AQI decline.

By designing a machine that helps dramatically scale up the use of biomass from agricultural waste, the Mohan's small-scale and inexpensive equipment processes agricultural and forest waste into reusable products such as fuels and fertilizers.
