Who is Pradip Burman?
Mr Pradip Burman is an
environmentalist, social contributor, and prolific businessman. He is the
grandson of DR. S.K Burman, the founder of India’s largest ayurvedic company - Dabur.
Mr Pradip Burman is a graduate in B
Sc. Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston.
Today, he is the founder of Mobius Foundation, a non-governmental organization
that works towards sustainable development and reaching sustainable
development goals in India.
He is a crusader of
sustainability. He often talks about sustainable development and
solutions that have a positive impact on the environment. He sheds light on the
massive harms caused by humans in the name of development, destroying planetary
health.
He has also founded
a company- AGES (Alternative
Green Energy Solution), which focuses on providing Hydroponic
Green Feed to contribute towards sustainable energy throughout the year.
‘’If we do not
switch to renewable, cleaner sources of energy and implement more sustainable
methods of development, the next generation will not survive,” says Mr Pradip
Burman. Waste management, sustainable development, sustainable
development goals, pollution, and renewable energy are topics that interest
Mr Pradip Burman.
According to him,
consistent changes in climate and air pollution are the top concerns that
challenge the nourishment of the ecosystem. Due to rising levels of pollution,
humanity is suffering from diseases like asthma and various lung
ailments.
Air pollution is
creating a massive expansion of global warming and climate change. However,
everything boils down to overpopulation as the greater the consumption of
non-renewable resources, the more the pollution. This step-down effect carries
on and on.
“No other species
on the planet has caused as much of a negative impact on the environment, as
compared to us Humans, due to unsustainable consumption and the use of
non-renewable energy”, says Mr Pradip Burman. He also talks about how
the planet has relied on primitive, limited sources of energy that could soon
get exhausted, threatening the survival of the human species.
He also talks about
the increased frequency of natural disasters, such as cyclones and floods,
resulting from unsustainable ways implemented by governments and corporations
all across the globe. The coming generations will not survive if we will not
change our lifestyles.
Today our children
suffer from breathing problems due to low air quality. The excess consumption
of non-renewable energy should be avoided. Not implementing any waste management
techniques will lead to a pyre of waste.
Implementing a sustainable lifestyle in our daily life is the only
solution in the end.
Mr Pradip Burman has launched an
all-India Campaign – Mission Sustainability to promote, create awareness, and
educate the people of India about the condition of the planet and promote sustainable
development across the country.
‘’Unless the
corporations and the governments across the globe don’t take action and try to
promote sustainable development and green sources of energy, there is no
hope left,” says Mr Pradip Burman. He also says that all hope is not
lost yet, as there is still time to revert the changes caused by us or slow
down the effects of climate change from impacting the human population.
Mr Pradip Burman has dedicated the
rest of his life to restore the planet for future generations as long as
possible. According to him, ‘“Education being the most powerful weapon and
environment being the most essential element for sustenance, it is very
critical that we all share a common vision to be tomorrow ready for a bright
future.”
