भारत के गाँवों में जलकुंभी वर्षों से एक ऐसी समस्या रही है जिसने तालाबों, मछलियों, जलजीवों और ग्रामीण अर्थव्यवस्था का दम घोंट दिया है। तालाब जो कभी जीवन का स्रोत थे, आज हरी चादरों के नीचे सिसकते दिखते हैं। पर इसी अंधेरे के बीच एक नई रोशनी उभरी ICRISAT का सौर ऊर्जा से चलने वाला वाटर हाइऐसिंथ हार्वेस्टर। एक ऐसी मशीन जो न केवल जलकुंभी हटाती है, बल्कि उसे ग्रामीण आजीविका, पर्यावरण संरक्षण और महिलाओं के आर्थिक सशक्तीकरण के अवसर में बदल देती है।

Plastic waste generation is on the rise in the country but there is no separate data on the quantity of such waste generation in rural India. Single-use plastics have invaded the villages where there are no waste management systems in place. For instance, in West Bengal, Assam, Punjab and Bihar, the percentage of villages that have mechanisms to manage solid waste are 0.82%, 1.08%, 1.67% and 1.97%, respectively.

इंसान हर साल 430 मिलियन टन प्लास्टिक उत्पन्न कर रहा है; जिसका दो तिहाई हिस्सा जल्द ही वेस्ट में तब्दील हो जाता है क्योंकि इसकी लाइफ छोटी होती है।
