An ecommerce startup is attempting to increase their access to the marketplace by creating an Online Platform to sell their goods beyond the. The heart of e is a means of finding. Its 2nd largest governing 2 square kilometers and situated only a few minutes from mumbai supine anshul district it is also mumbai is largest Manufacturing Center that is a hive of activity here borders with groups in the state of gujarat who work and live alongside the study embroiders from out of rubbish government makers and plastic recyclers crossed paths with metal smiths and a makers and banners in all there are more than 10. 1000 skilled craftsman here. It was this energy that drew entrepreneur made. 8 years ago this is a very close knit and if you give them a cause the board b. N. Access to. The whole country will go. Does idea was to raise the heart of the market out of relative obscurity by setting up an online marketplace where the artisans can advertise their workshops and products now they can reach clients far beyond the potential is huge part of these workshops sell goods both over 60000000000. 00 rupees on about 800000000. 00 euros each year. Every little need is like a mini factory where you have. Different workshops producing Different Things and its source says selfish and. Because theyre not educated that weiss is an orthopod i believe by peeking by a launching a website for them and. Putting their products and their will on line for the larger markets to see i am sort of giving them a wise. Khans workshop meets Leather Goods and specializes in wallets before starting to sell its product on the market dot com it had sales of about 230000 euros a year but meager gupta toward the workshop could do better especially if it swished from animal hides to plant leather. Agreed and now his company only uses artificial leather made from recycled paper it doesnt care is easy to work with and its washable. We hope. This family might be there to various trade fairs so that corporates can order in bulk and of the whole ideas again to move toward sustainability. Each product is photographed and uploaded to the website at the beginning may god just 5 artisans on the harley market dot com now it showcases more than 300 book shops. Between 10 and 25 percent of the craftsmans prices depending on what you buy this see it is worth it and that their incomes have increased by 20 to 40 percent thanks to direct access to a much broader market. When muhammad go financially it 1st came to the harvey he had to leave his family behind and father would be hard. For a living my family used to live in the village but now they live here with me the kids go to school i cannot afford the fees and the rent earlier i couldnt order. Is keen to promote sustainability she is now cooperating with textile companies here the idea is to turn the scraps of fabric that accumulate in the heart of every day into new products. The brand is. With stands for 0 waste and its spelled with. Its peres said. So weve included the word he to win it because we believe our fast when i hear it all then they can create anything. They can create anything out of waste. A lot of the small walk shops in the heart of we have signed up to make a passport and its of indeed has a much larger aim to enhance the held Unsustainable Development of the entire community. In a way to. Technology is key in modern society to be we can work towards improving Living Conditions and conserving Natural Resources with Technology Water for example according to the United Nations the demand for water which is the basic ingredient of life will exceed supply by 40 percent by 2030 in the Netherlands Companies are coming up with Interesting Solutions to conserve and reuse water. For these children water is a basic right that here in the netherlands comes easily from the top. As it does for children even to wash their hands. Even so this family knows just how valuable it is. That water is really important with no water you cant drink and you die. Washing the family clothes is done with recycled hitched to 0. The washing machine is fed with the Household Waste water which has been purified by a machine called the hyperloop and tells them skin and when thats enough for cycle to water to use. The only thing is that we do it. Just to get. Our life so as much. For saving water with the machine and africa family of 4 in the netherlands uses up to 191000 liters of water per year hydro loop says its clients use around 45 percent less. In march when we came to live here and us having kids we were you thinking about ok how can we make this world better also for our kin for the next 2 to inherit the earth after us and this is when we thought ok we have to be smart and think head. Waters seems to be abundant in the netherlands around 60 percent of Domestic Water here comes from the ground the rest is surface water once used in harms way yes water is treated and then returned to the rivers and oceans but treatment takes a lot of energy and water is also lost along the way. After full keys are designed the hydra loop a decentralized water recycling system that means part of the process is done in your own home the system doesnt use filters instead using 6 steps to treating clean the waste water to international standards. We collect the water from the shower and hopefully also from the washing machine and then we treat it to remove all soap and hair and sentencing like that we disinfected so its safe and then you can reuse it again for your washing machine to flush the toilets and for your garden. The water can only be recycled once and it cant be used for drinking. The only delight shows now that the reason i recycled water to flush the toilet. So when i 1st the toilet it takes now recycled water from the lower tank and if this light turns blue this means oh you ran out of recycled water youre now using mains water hydrate prices started around 3300 euros its already selling in countries across europe as well as south africa and the United States it can be retrofitted into older buildings or built directly into new systems. Hes aims to take the business further. To the next stage is that we want to develop cooperation with companies in countries like India Bangladesh with local Production Companies so that we can start producing our products together with them in those countries where its. Has less cost to produce it so it can also be introduced in these markets at a lower price globally water is becoming ever more scarce recycling waste water is 1. 00 potential answer yet the un says 80. Scent of it is released into the environment without adequate treatment the loofah water compass springs Companies Like hydro loop universities and Research Institutes together. And camp is one of the directors what we do here at walter campuses is in fact helping companies celebrate their developments go to the market and that is from one side market demand but also what is the ideas within the companies themselves and at the end of the day they should bring their product to the market and work at the water compass is funded in part by the Companies Developing the products along with the Regional Government and European Commission among Others Companies find the expertise to test and develop their ideas and products in International Concern for the startup its a process that could normally take decades but here help to speed that up the general picture is more for how can we help being more tech campus bringing new sustainable technologies to the market which helps our side. With solving the big issues in the world like how do we produce more food do we make sure that senator ation is healthy and that is there is big issues out there which of course we cannot solve all of that is only possible when you set up operations. For the scone and children water for now has slipped from the mines but that could easily change in the future. If we dont lower our footprint its an ending story anyway so at some point environment will come back at us and we will have drought and probably shortage of food or water and then we get wars thats not what we want to have so dont you need to act. Now how to save water could be the key to making sure children like if caught and her siblings also have a future to look forward to. Now merely 700000000 people around the world lack access to see if clean water off and resulting indices hardship and many a time. There was around the world a major source of Potable Water and getting more and more polluted. A german you know rita has developed a unique device that can turn water from madrid work on the stream directly into Drinking Water. Water directly from the elbe or one of germanys biggest rivers ready for drinking. The secret the water was purified by this little box known as a wave or. The wave as water wheel scoops up the water and direct it into a series of filters clean water can then be pumped to a holding tank on land its intended for use in small communities that have no power supply for research stations in remote areas or in disaster zones the engineers that inflow tech took that into account in their design. We made a conscious decision to use only standard parts that are available all over the world with standard sizes if say a pipe is damaged or missing youll be able to get a replacement whatever you are we designed the whole system that way. One unit can produce up to 2000 liters of Safe Drinking Water a day the system is powered by the rivers current. Treating river Water Service suitable for drinking is an unusual step and requires different technology. Many Companies Use water from wells to purify for drinking purposes thats already been cleaned partly by the sediment but we use the unclean surface water which is more difficult to purify and requires the relevant expertise. You 1st have to analyze the water you then assemble the filters according to the results of that analysis in order to produce Drinking Water. And the company is convinced that the waiver can be used anywhere in the world as it operates autonomously. The waiver uses only the forces of nature we installed a water wheel which harnesses the energy from the river current to power the pump and we use the pressure created by the public to power the system thats it. Thats what makes the whole thing different were not using electricity to power endless filters or valves. The waiver currently costs around 15000. 00 euros. But the Company Hopes to make it a lot cheaper once it goes into mass production. Technology has the power to bring the remotest of regions of the world to the helping build reliable infrastructure in the mountains of. Hydro fueling the electricity demands of the people. The bark of the daphne shrub also known as locked up has to be washed and then boiled in order to make paper from it. One of the tricity came to this area. Was finally able to purchase a boiler in treasure today years 10 employees that collect and wash the lock to bark the heavy work is done by machines. To have to boil the locked up uk using firewood. And stamp on it with our feet to soften it. The electricity comes from a small hydroelectric power plant the government has been promoting them in this Mountain Region for years and giving loans to entrepreneurs and farmers so they can buy machines. To the power plant was installed and we got electricity i was in a better position economically and. I had lower labor costs so i was able to make a profit. And i could even save some money. But. The un appoint a Mountain Range in the himalayas overlooks the village of gun truck which lies at an elevation of 2000 meters this is where porn lives. Has a lot of water. So it makes sense to install hydroelectric power plants which are relatively easy to build and are. And mentally friendly. Government support for the hydro Power Projects is granted only to villages that agreed to pitch in. 10 years ago b d a bishop well karma helped to build this power plant today shes the deputy manager. Of. The village meanwhile has 9 of these power plants. Each with a Management Board and a manager. They handle the finances themselves. Need a man with a head its like i am at the moment the plant is selfsustaining. And the fee we get from our customers helps us pay our staff to do so and that was and its enough to maintain the plant as well theyve got us all going to has and the has also got to saigon and. The electricity from the Hydro Power Plant was also a blessing for shanta maya group who runs a bakery there the mother of 2 can now provide the entire village with bread. So they say no i was the 1st person to open a bakery here. With us for the past 5 years shes been baking bread here her brother works by her side. Shes already managed to pay off the mixer in the oven but if something breaks it can get expensive. And most of it can be difficult if one of the machine stops working then we have to go all the way to pick up to have it fixed. Fortunately she also earns money from her small kiosk which is right next to the bakery local people are her main customers but tourists who come here to go climbing in the on a point to mountains sometimes shop here to. The village of guns roque is home to about 5200 people. The power plants have changed their lives they no cook with electricity and there are 2 Telecommunications Masts in the Village Health care has also improved. Recently i had dental treatment which was only possible because the medical station has electricity now. Without electricity and none of this would exist everyone is making the most of it. Nonetheless about 40 percent of the people in the villages here still dont have electricity. Naipaul has been working to renu and expand the electricity grid after a devastating earthquake destroyed much of it 4 years ago hydroelectric power is the linchpin of the governments plan. A lot has changed for paper maker porter gurung hes even been able to open a shop and poke around the 2nd largest city in. This is where he sells his untreated paper as well as products such as diaries and notebooks cards and lampshades. This income made it possible for the widower to raise his 2 children and send them to school his daughter now lives in pokhara and also works in the shop. Corner girl room stops by at least once a week hes planning to expand his busy. Yes. Obviously youre.

What if innovation through technology could be taught to children in school could our next generation be better equipped to solve the unique problems. The founders the founder of tree schools on the outskirts of mumbai definitely. Determined in the sleepy coastal town of about a 110 kilometers from mumbai nothing will strike you as organ. Damage or Even Initiative but is working with the marginalised tribal communities in the home who have historically been denied their right to Health Education you know who are decent living to access to their forests and this is a community that is at the bottom rung of the society for various reasons the school is are not just a school its an experiment its a radical or dollar bill to say that education must be about social justice and together along with this group of people we are experimenting with how open source open Source Technologies can really bring about change into a new. Term errantry school only uses online Educational Resources that are accessible for free the School Computers use open Source Software that can be obtained free of charge the idea is that high quality educational material and technology should be available to all the approach here is quite a departure from the style of most indian schools. The lessons are supposed to be fun in an atmosphere that encourages interaction and gives the children plenty of scope to explore subjects by themselves. Young students are learning to chord their learning to. Program probably has a go order them learning to make small video animation games theyre learning to produce things that through the internet the other very important principle in time entries world is that as we said earlier we are part of the open Source Movement so every thing on our campus is open. It was about 15 years ago that mumbai residents michelle job law and human babu moved. Since then they have voted closely with the local community in building the school determined not to turn this into a Charitable Institute the School Charges the parents fees ensuring that they stay invested. In the way its easier for us because these are 1st generation learners the parents of the students really they just have faith they just have trust that ok what do with these guys are doing they must be doing it right because they didnt have an idea. Having said that i must say that there are a lot of other parents who have been exposed to lets say the conventional way of lets say Computing Technology they are exposed to that
