A pleasure to meet with the British Deputy High Commissioner, Mr. Gareth Wynn Owen, and the team from @UKinHyderabad today.
We engaged in a highly productive discussion on matters of mutual interest, focusing on building stronger strategic collaborations and fostering deeper partnerships for the future. 🇮🇳🇬🇧
Three 16 year old Indian students can remove microplastics from water using tamarind seeds.
And they've received a $12,500 grant from The Earth Prize to develop this solution.
How did they do it?
Tamarind seeds have something called polysaccharide - which is a sticky compound that can natural polymer. Kinda like a plant-based glue.
This glue when mixed with water can pull out microplastics and clump them together.
And these kids are using the same principle to develop their product called "Plas-Stick" - which is just this power made from waste tamarind seeds.
Now, "Plas-Stick" is still in its developmental stage and there is a lot that needs to be done before it can be scaled.
But if they pull this off - we could have a simple, biodegradable and scalable solution to purify water for billions of people in the world.
And that's something.
Kudos to Vivaan Chhawchharia, Ariana Agarwal, and Avyana Mehta.

Women and girls deserve to live free from fear of violence.
We won’t have peace, security or prosperity until they do.
With our partners, the UK is setting up a new International Coalition to End Violence Against Women and Girls.

A large elephant herd of about 100 was seen swimming across the Brahmaputra River in Assam, India, navigating the waters at Nimati Ghat, a major river port
A beautiful elephant family sleeps deep inside the Anamalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu, an extraordinary moment captured on camera. The young one gently rests its leg on an elder, seeking comfort, security and love. In the world of elephants, family is everything. And around them stands the forest silent, protective, eternal like a cradle holding life itself. On this International Day of Forests, this tender scene reminds us of a simple truth: if forests do not exist, nothing will remain. Nothing at all. Without forests, the world would be poorer, harsher, emptier. For elephants, for wildlife, for rivers, for people forests are life
Incredible capture @dhanu_paran#InternationalDayofForest#forestday#InternationalDayofForest
