Sukriti

Sukriti Social Foundation is NGO that provides safe and hygienic sanitation space to 800 Million Indians, mostly women. SUKRITI Social Foundation, aim to change the present sanitary conditions, come up with a solid wastemanagement plan for a clean India, work towards energy sufficiency by improving the penetration of alternative andrenewable energy, develop products for better governance, work on low-cost housing and health-care, skill developmentand agricultural sustenance. Basically, they are a bunch of ambitious people who want to work towards solving some of themost pressing issues in the country, in a way that is economical and environment-friendly, through use of engineering solutions India has shown strong economic growth in the past few decades, with accelerated growth across agriculture, industry, and services. However, this growth has come at a cost – a deteriorating environment and an increasing scarcity of resources. The 2018 Environmental Performance Index, which ranked 180 countries on environmental health and ecosystem vitality, saw India at 177th position. Over the past decade, the number of deaths due to particulate matter pollution have risen to 1.6 million. Poor sanitation facilities cost India $54 billion every year. And 80% of untreated sewage in India flows directly to its rivers. Yet, amidst all this, India also presents a massive opportunity in disguise. India’s rural-to-urban transition is turning out to be one of the fastest in human history, and how this transition takes place could change the course of humanity’s future. It follows then, that one of the greatest challenges facing India is decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation. And the key to solving this challenge lies in smart engineering solutions.
