Subhajit Mukherji, an expert in sustainable water management, shares a comprehensive guide on how to recycle greywater at home, helping households conserve fresh water. “Only two per cent of the water supplied to our homes is used for drinking and cooking,” says Mukherji. “The remaining 98 per cent, used for non-drinking purposes, can always be catered to through recycled and filtered water.”

"I vividly remember that evening. Sitting behind a friend on a bike, I mentally made a list of items to buy from Kolkata. In a split second, my life changed forever.

Fully conscious, I was taken to a hospital, where the doctors recommended surgery to save my legs. But due to my family’s financial situation, it was delayed by 12 days.
