My Green Society, a Mumbai NGO working in the environmental space is pitching in to make Maha Kumbh 2025 a greener experience. The Kumbh 2025 will be held in Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) from January 13 to February 26 next year.

Pitch

My Green Society director, Vishal Tibrewala said, “Since we work in the green space, we are endeavouring to cut the carbon footprint of the Kumbh gathering. We are sending at least 25,000 steel plates to the organisers of different ‘langars’ who will be serving food at the Kumbh. Years earlier, they would serve food in a ‘paatal’ (leaf) at the Kumbh festivals. Then, they moved to disposable plates for convenience. Now, we are offering steel thaalis, as substitutes to cut the amount of waste generated.”
