Project Neersa is an initiative aimed at tackling the pressing issue of untreated sewage and its detrimental impact on ecosystems, water bodies, and livelihoods. Recognizing the interconnected challenges of environmental degradation and socio-economic inequality, Neersa adopts a holistic, tri-segmented approach to transform waste into valuable resources. In the first segment, sewage sludge is converted into biogas, which serves as a sustainable and renewable energy source for cooking, transportation, and electricity. The second segment focuses on the production of eco-friendly by-products, such as organic fertilizers that enhance soil fertility and durable construction bricks that contribute to sustainable infrastructure development. The third segment addresses the critical need for rejuvenating contaminated water bodies through innovative treatment techniques, which not only restore aquatic ecosystems but also boost fishery incomes for local communities. By integrating cutting-edge technology, strategic partnerships with organizations like Delhi Jal Board and Growdiesel, and empowering local entrepreneurs, Neersa fosters a circular economy that aligns environmental restoration with livelihood creation. This comprehensive approach ensures a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future for generations to come.
Neersa’s mission is to restore ecosystems and create livelihoods by fostering a circular economy that addresses environmental challenges. By transforming waste into resources and empowering local entrepreneurs, the project strives toward a vision of a cleaner, healthier, and sustainable future.
Project Neersa operates through a tri-segmented business model that transforms waste into valuable resources. Sewage sludge is processed into biogas, providing a sustainable energy source for cooking, transportation, and electricity. Simultaneously, eco-friendly by-products like organic fertilizers and durable construction bricks are produced to enhance soil fertility and promote sustainable infrastructure. Additionally, the project employs innovative treatment techniques to rejuvenate contaminated water bodies, restoring aquatic ecosystems and increasing fishery incomes.
