IIT Roorkee Launches India's First Carbon Credit Mechanism

IIT Roorkee has created a new way for farmers to earn money by taking care of the soil.

They will use a special system to measure how much carbon is stored in the soil and turn that into something called carbon credits.

These credits can be sold to companies around the world, and the money will go directly to the farmers.

This project will start in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh.

The idea is to help farmers make more money while also helping the environment.

The system will measure things like how farmers use less tilling, cover crops, manage waste, plant trees, and use better fertilizers.

This will not only help farmers earn more but also make the soil healthier and reduce harmful gases from farming.
