Student Invents Eco-Friendly Fertilizer from Waste
Aalam Veer Jindall, a Class 11 student, has created a special fertilizer using things that people usually throw away, like urine, ash, and paddy straw.
This fertilizer is good for plants because it gives them important nutrients, keeps them safe from bad chemicals, and helps them grow bigger and stronger.
It also helps the environment by reducing pollution.
Aalam Veer's invention won first prize in a big competition.
He also made special bags that help plants grow without needing much water or extra fertilizer.
Experts think his ideas could help India save a lot of money and make farming more eco-friendly.
Aalam Veer Jindall, a Class 11 student, invented an eco-friendly fertilizer using human urine, wood ash, and paddy straw.
The fertilizer is low-cost, nutrient-rich, and increases crop yield by three to four times.
It also reduces pollution, prevents plants from absorbing arsenic, and cuts water consumption.
Jindall's innovation won first place at the Rajyia Satryia Baal Vaigyanik Pardarshini competition.
He also developed Self-Growing Seed Pee-Bags that allow plants to grow with minimal water and fertilizer.
