The Stubble Project launched to help farmers get rid of their crop stubble waste the right way. We educate farmers about the ill effects of burning stubble and how they can instead choose to decompose it using a subsidized fertilizer provided by the government.
About the Millennium Fellow
Sanket Agarwal is a second-year engineering student at the University of Delhi(North Campus). He has always had an independent voice, trying to break free from the accepted social norms and talking about subjects that might cause an uproar but at the end of the day are essential cogs to a functioning social system. He has been especially vocal about the plight of people living in the poverty-stricken rural areas of his country and how the tyranny of the privileged has continually caused their situation to degrade. He aims to start a social entrepreneurial venture to improve the living standards and per capita income of rural areas.
