In a landmark achievement, Ms. Bindhu, Corporate Advisory Member of the World Environment Council (Waste Management & Sanitation) and Head of Corporate Business at Solwearth Ecotech Pvt. Ltd., has made history as the first Indian woman from Kerala to install and commission an Organic Waste Converter (OWC) Machine at an astounding altitude of 14,140 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) near Nathula pass in the picturesque state of Sikkim. This groundbreaking project, aptly named “SECURE HIMALAYA,” is a vital initiative by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) aimed at addressing the waste management challenges faced in this remote region.
Overcoming numerous protocols and hurdles, Ms. Bindhu’s unwavering passion for Waste Management & Sanitation led her to undertake this challenging journey with zeal. The endeavor to obtain the necessary pass and permit for the project showcased her determination and dedication to the cause of sustainable waste management.
The “SECURE HIMALAYA” project holds immense significance, as waste management in the Himalayan region presents unique challenges due to its isolated and rugged terrains. Ms. Bindhu’s groundbreaking efforts to set up the OWC Machine at such a high altitude mark a turning point in tackling waste-related issues in these remote areas.
The Organic Waste Converter installed at the camp near Nathula pass is expected to provide an effective and eco-friendly solution for managing organic waste in the region. As the project unfolds, it is set to become a shining beacon of hope for promoting sustainable initiatives in challenging terrains.
The successful implementation of the OWC Machine was made possible by the ingenious technology developed by Mr. Aravind, the Founder & Director of Solwearth Ecotech Pvt. Ltd company. His expertise enabled us to operate effectively in this remote area, where modern facilities, including mobile access, are scarce.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and local authorities have lauded Ms. Bindhu’s unparalleled dedication and remarkable achievements. Her exceptional work serves as an inspiring example of perseverance and environmental stewardship.
Ms. Bindhu’s passion for Waste Management & Sanitation has brought national recognition to her accomplishments. The entire nation eagerly awaits updates on the progress of “SECURE HIMALAYA,” as it promises to revolutionize waste management practices in the Himalayan region.
As we celebrate this momentous achievement, we are reminded of the importance of individual efforts and collective action in safeguarding our environment. Ms. Bindhu’s dedication showcases the transformative power of sustainability initiatives, and her work will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on waste management practices for generations to come.
Her pioneering spirit and her efforts serve as a source of pride for all Indians, inspiring us to take greater responsibility for the preservation of our planet and its resources.
