Mr Ritwik Bahuguna, Director - Farlense and Founder - Roots Foundation in conversation with Mint said, "Stubble burning is not merely an agricultural issue but a #PublicHealth crisis that demands immediate and sustained intervention. While we recognize that #StubbleBurning accounted for approximately 1.3% to 2.4% of #AirPollution in recent assessments, its effects are exacerbated by meteorological conditions and contribute to the formation of hazardous smog during #winter months.” Read the #story: https://lnkd.in/gZCB8pBZ

Community support is the involvement and commitment of local communities that breathe life into grassroots initiatives. The faces of the community—the individuals who participate, engage, and take ownership—are integral to the long-term sustainability of these projects. One such story is from Dhangar village in Fatehabad, Sarpanch Sunila Nain's, who, in collaboration with Project Sports lab, has made a lasting impact by dedicating 2 acres of land for young athletes and pledging Rs 50,000 for essential equipment. We're happy that this partnership is more than just about sports—it’s about empowering the next generation with opportunities, guidance, and a space to grow. Join us in supporting local heroes like Sunila Nain and young athletes from rural communities. Together, we can empower dreams and create lasting change. 🙌  #CommunitySupport #EmpowerThroughSports #RootsFoundation #YouthDevelopment #Athleticism #GrassrootsChange #DhangarVillage #SportsLab Roots Foundation Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of India Ritwik Bahuguna Ridhima Bahuguna Vijay Singh A P Sinha Anmol Pandey Trapti Moonat Vidula Chopra Prashasti Yadav Anirudh Singare Bhoop Singh Jharkhand.Fit Jharkhand Jyoti Government of Jharkhand Jharkhand Swabhiman International Olympic Committee – IOC Indian Youth Forum Sports Authority of India Indian Premier League India Vision Football Azad Agro Hyundai Motor India Ltd.
