Our project, "Nurturing Growth, Transforming Remnants" aims to counter the negative impacts of the Green Revolution in Mansoorwal Kalan. We will focus on the Zira Factory as a starting point, transforming it into a waste treatment centre to mitigate pollution caused by the winemaking process. By repurposing waste into valuable resources like animal feed and compost, we will provide local farmers with a sustainable and cost-effective fertiliser supply.
Simultaneously, we will implement a phytoremediation plan, selecting plants that absorb pollutants effectively. Over 15 years, we will cultivate these plants in different plots near the factory, improving soil and maintaining long-term agricultural sustainability.
To address social factors, we have devised a four-phase management plan spanning 15 years. This includes environmental assessments, crop rotation techniques, and the utilisation of liquor by-products as organic fertilisers. Additionally, we will establish community-focused initiatives such as a shared trust, a school, a hospital, and a farmers' market, promoting self-sufficiency and supporting the well-being of the villagers.
In summary, our project comprises waste conversion, phytoremediation, and a comprehensive management plan. By repurposing waste, restoring the land, and implementing sustainable practices, we aim to create a thriving and environmentally sound future for Mansoorwal Kalan.
