Eco India: How shrimp is being farmed in Punjab, miles away from the coastline

Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow. Around the world irrigation, drought and sea level rise are increasing the salinity of the soil – and stunting crop productivity. One of India’s worst affected states is Punjab, known as the country’s granary. There, the problem is compounded by waterlogging. To help maintain farmers' livelihoods, scientists are replacing wheat fields with ponds, to farm an animal normally found hundreds of kilometers away – in the sea.

75 years of Independence: the India story | The Hindu

Seventy-five years ago, India gained Independence from British rule and went on to become one of the largest democracies in the world In January 1950, India became a republic. While this was much to celebrate, the India that Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru inherited was that of an economy battered by colonial exploitation and the horrors of partition. The only way for the country, was up. Well, literally For a country that started its space program with rocket parts being transported to the launch site on a bicycle and ox carts, it now plans to send humans to space. We go down memory lane, tracing India’s progress in various fields.

Dr. Dilip Mahalanabis and the discovery of ORS | The Hindu

On 16th December 1971, East Pakistan was liberated, forming what we know today as Bangladesh. Following the war, nearly 10 million people took refuge in India. But as the monsoon arrived, with heavy rains and floods, also came cholera. With a lack of access to food, clean water and sanitation, the cholera epidemic killed over 5,000 people in the refugee camps alone. In one such refugee camp at Bangaon in West Bengal, the situation was turning critical. The camp was running out of saline fluid, a standard treatment for cholera in those days. The clock was ticking fast as hundreds more awaited treatment. Dr Dilip Mahalnabis, a Kolkata-based paediatrician, stepped in. From his research, he knew that a solution of sugar and salt, which would increase water absorption by the body, could save lives. He turned to Oral Rehydration Therapy, an unpopular treatment for diarrhoea in those days. Against the odds, and with the help of Johns Hopkins University, he began giving out a mixture of table salt, baking soda and glucose with clean drinking water. He and his team then prepared and stored the solution in large drums, from where patients or their relatives could help themselves. In the next 14 days, the number of deaths declined from 30 per cent to 3.6 per cent in the refugee camps. We look at Dr Mahalanabis’s contribution to the field of health and his awards and recognition.

Eco India: How cigarette butts can be deadlier than most plastic waste

Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow. Cigarettes pose a big risk to human health. Their impact on the environment is less well-known. So consider this: Trillions of toxic cigarette butts are tossed out every year, and most don’t land in the trash. Initiatives here in India aim to tackle the problem at its source, and are converting these tiny stubs into sustainable, practical products. ****** Credits: Supervising Producer: Nooshin Mowla Script & Field Producer: Jessica Goel Video Editor: Sujit Lad Associate Producer: Ipsita Basu Director of Photography: Richard Kujur Camera Assistant: Abhishek Yadav Executive Producer: Sannuta Raghu ****** Eco India is a co-production between DW and Scroll.in.

Eco India: How mock meat is appealing to the Indian palate

Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow. Let’s talk about meat consumption: In a country that is falsely perceived to be vegetarian, 71% of Indians over the age of 15 are non-vegetarian. This number is only rising - and bringing with it enormous consequences for the environment. Mock meat, however, is the new buzzword among the environmentally conscious. And urban Indians with higher incomes are willing to spend money to test it out. Let’s see why. ****** Credits: Supervising Producer: Nooshin Mowla Script & Field Producer: Jessica Goel Video Editor: Sujit Lad Associate Producer: Ipsita Basu Director of Photography: Richard Kujur Executive Producer: Sannuta Raghu ********** Eco India is a co-production between DW and Scroll.in.
