Overview:

Project Vriddhi endeavours to mitigate the widely prevalent issue of stubble burning by putting stubble to alternative, commercially viable uses. The Project functions under four verticals namely Tabdeel, Shilpkari, Nirmaan, and Restove.

Verticals:

NIRMAAN- Under Nirmaan, we establish toilets using stubble boards, to solve the problem of open defecation. The eco-friendly and cost-effective toilets generate revenue depending on per user and day basis, accounting for a substantial income for our entrepreneurs.

SHILPKARI- Shilpkari puts stubble to use in making eco-friendly, durable, and creative handicrafts like cutlery, lamps and paper bags, etc. It aims to revive the handicrafts industry while also empowering underprivileged women.

TABDEEL- Tabdeel is concerned with the utilization of stubble for mushroom cultivation, which is an untapped and highly profitable industry.

RESTOVE- Restove aims to curb indoor air pollution by establishing small-scale biogas production units revolving around innovative barrel/IBC based technology using stubble as input replacing the red brick chulhas used in rural households.

Sustainability and Scalability:

• In Tabdeel we have collectivized farmers into an FPO so that they can benefit from government schemes. This makes the farmers independent, running all operations. Tabdeel aims to add more farmers under the plan by expanding to other parts of Northern India.
• Under Shilpkari our women entrepreneurs are taught proper handicraft manufacturing and assembly skills. We plan to establish the machinery at various sites and organize our entrepreneurs into SHGs. Through collaborations with other women communities, we plan to add 40 more women entrepreneurs, taking the total count to 90.
• Nirmaan follows a by the community for the community model where a local entrepreneur is employed to look after the washrooms in the long run. For Nirmaan we aim to make 7 washrooms by July 2022 in different slums, post which we will collaborate with umbrella pan-India organizations.
