As the World celebrates Earth Day 2021, philanthropist and Tata Group’s Chairman Emeritus Ratan Tata patted some young innovators and volunteers of small cities and towns for their initiatives towards saving the planet.
In his Instagram page, the industrialist spoke about 14-year-old Haaziq Kazi for his innovative project – ERVIS ship which can suck out all the deadly waste from the sea, including the plastic.
Another organisation Hasiru Dala Innovations Private Limited, Bengaluru was mentioned with pride by the industrialist. Hasiru Dala, which means Green Force, is a social impact organisation that works with waste pickers and other waste workers to ensure a life with dignity. The organisation has turned manual waste-pickers into “micro-entrepreneurs”.
