Waste pickers living at the base of one of Delhi's biggest landfills have learned how to grow herbs and vegetables in the small space they call home. The garden project aims to provide nutritious food to people at the margins of society.

Chintan has been doing such wonderful work over the years that we are lucky to have this team in Delhi.. there is a long way to go in providing dignity to waste pickers and people have to segregate their waste and compost their wet waste ..our waste is our responsibility
Absolutely correct. I myself understood this responsibility last year of importance & embracing segregation of waste. Such a shame to me that it took so long 20years for only embracing this habit & what's more of shame is that educated people too not understand this. People are truly responsible. Social is difficult but can be done. The sooner the better
nonsens and fantasy
A deep gratitude and love for chintan and other's who are successfully doing their best to bring peace within and in the world outside
I wish the Supreme Court would mandate that every city, every town and every village enforce waste segregation ( plastic, glass, paper, metal etc etc...) This would greatly eliminate the need for these poor people to go about walking in this toxic environment to separate out the waste. God bless these people who are so neglected and make our lives livable!!
Well done India 🇮🇳. We need more of these all over the country
Such a beautiful idea to improve these people's lives in so many ways! I can also plant stuff in my yard to improve my own life! Love to all!
Outstanding....hats off to chintan...it's wonderful to c people learning and implementing ...best way to educate people about nutrition, immunity to women's. It's so beautiful to c greens growing around in this locality.Great work 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great initiative but the lady said she used soil from landfill, this is not good as heavy metals and plastic are leached into to soil. Maybe teach them about vermicomposting or provide good soil.
One woman said she sells the veggies when the price is high. I would never buy veggies from such a source. I kept thinking of Microplastics and over all environment these veggies are grown.
Maybe they can compost their own waste and urine to make fertilizer for their gardens.
@@mytravls you think you buy vegetables from heaven. lol. most vegetables are grown in similar conditions
@@mytravls Wow, what a special snowflake. Imports veggies from another planet because everything on earth is contaminated with microplastics
These types of nutritional awareness are needed for all, not only the lower class but middle class too. The high cost of green vegetables impacts all classes consciously/unconsciously and growing them at our own place will reduce the price significantly thus intake would increase. And people will get organic vegetables too.
This is so awesome 🙏 Gratitude to the wonderful team. While government/corporate policies should be reformed; there is no alternative to public awareness when it comes to building sustainable and fair societies
To eradicate poverty the NGO and local government must ensure hum dono humare ek........ Bass aur nahi sambhal sakte.... Free ration, school, medical assistant... So on and never ending
Only hindus will listen and eventually hindus will grow lesser and india will be new pakistan . If u dont believe me check the math of religion now vs 1947
Thank you Chintan and scroll❤🙌
I am completely humbled!! Such a simple step leading to such a massive change -- health, self respect, learning !!!! Naman.
Really wonderful initiative by Chintan. Instead of freebies and always make them dependent this initiative makes the poor to live on their own and teaches independence. They are eating the home grown fresh organic vegetables due to which entire community is uplifted. Kudos to the entire team.
lov the work of miss bansal.
Every mega city need this model
Love this post about helping the rag pickers, esp the idea of providing them with space to grow their own food and teaching them about nutrition.
Best of wishes for your sincere, dedicated and committed efforts for the marginalized in society.
Thanks for showing us a heart full video to all eco india team and chintan organic project organizers ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great info.... Must be replicated across the country
Family of six.... Better practice hum do humare 1.... Only

Thanks you for covering this kind of work thanks to the lady who's mind behind that
Very very very good work
Brilliant 🇮🇳❤️🌞
Excellent initiative. Might I suggest a communal garden and fruit trees also. People cannot afford fruit. Some landfill area can be cleared with a digger. 🙏🏽
My heartiest and warmest regards to such initiatives, this is the hope of the humanity. It is truly inspiring...🙏🙏

Greetings from Austria.

Great job.Very motivating. 🙏
This is wonderful initiative..
Good job 💐
Great 😍.
Very Good Initiative 😊
I've noticed averseness towards green vegetables and millets in poor people. They eat rice, wheat and few dals. Point in case my house help gives a side eye when I asked her to eat leafy veggies like spinach, bathua.
They eat millet as it's cheap abd eaten traditionally
Rural people can't eat fried or panner often
Amazing work keep doing it. if I get change to serve and make aware of these people I would like to provide a free hand
Excellent work
Chintan sahi work giloy paan palak beat rout jeisee cheeze asani se har jageh lagaie ja saktee hei
why is mainstream media never show this kinda content
Please provide full training video
🙏🏻
Someone should share the vedio with the PM. Who knows what might happen.
we should get some ideas from brazil's Curtiba waste to nutrition scheme
❤
Nuytrion is essential for a good health...unfortunately Indians don't always eat very nutritious food. White rice is actually bad for you as it lack vitamins and minerals but those villagers seem to eat the same things the parents ate, and the grandparents ate without questioning where their illnesses or tiredness comes from. A nutritionnist is a good thing and proves it is necessary....
5:30 we we weed ..😎
Imported goods to Poverty, Accountability for Right And Responsible from Top to Bottom, of Citizens For every one of Country
I hope that program spreds all over india
Balswa landfill is the real proof of Amritkaal or 75 years of Independence..such a shame 😢
Tamiz sikhana logo ko to ye Sarkar ka kaam ni h sarkar hmesha bolti h kuda alg alg kro...m gurantee deta hu tere ghr aur tu khud ni krta hoga kuda alg alg yhan p gyan dera faltu ka...Baki government ka swach Bharat abhiyan suru hogya h 2.0 sara kuda saaf ho jayega desh ka
Congratulations but so sad to see all this pollution 🙏
@5.28 Is that a w**d plant ??
Nice work
From Pakistan
Start at the grass roots. Every govt. School. Should teach kids how to be hygienic where water is a scarcity in poor living conditions. Bins provided could teach kids how to use bins for _ food waste, plastic, glass, toilet or body fluid ( pads, tissues, vomit bags). This way no human has to do degrading filthy jobs touching body waste. Next step is teaching kids to grow and eat nutritious food from their own vicinity. And that wastage is a no no. Campaign for less manufactured goods being used in school. And above all their health, well being and from protecting themselves from scammers and crooks.
6kids🙄🙄😶😶it is very difficult to give good education and life for 2kids only here 6😶😶.
5:28 that’s ganja 😂 or bhang plant 😂😂 good income for them I guess, it’s places like these where people score weed.
Start Gorilla Gardening take vacant, land, clean & have an area for a children playground as well. (swing & slide) with no garbage. If owned buy from owner (government assistance) & make a communal area. Grow, perennial food, spice & trees(fruit) to shade their eating area & reduce the strength of the sun by multi level growing (permaculture) in same area. Trees will will help with air purification. Plant a few fruit trees that will give continue good food & shade their homes. Constructing shelves for each area would help increase the growing area by going up. Bamboo get a source (Government) or savaging from dump to have the local men build shelves for this and other needs in small areas yards. Empowering these people could be just enlightening them to how to grow and create a business with local resources since they have not be custom to this idea.
हमारे यहां बन्दर इस कार्य मे बाधा डालते हैं
Harsh reality. Govt failed here. No matter whose. People are responsible too. !!! That is the ground reality & development. We are responsible !!!
Can't feed properly. But the child is sitting after 6 births. They do not know that there is such a thing as population
lack of education.
is she bangladeshi
2 bachcha 4 nati pote 8.par pote nati paida karenge to musibat badega berojgari uriya milavat svarth risvat batvara jhagra garibi free me
Sab Allah ka dan hai 😂😂
5:28 LOL
Shaukeen hai ye Aadmi 😂
Please present in local language like Marathi in maharastra
These muslims growing ganja in their garden @5:30😂😂😂
That’s what they do 😂
Not Bengal they are Rohingyas
She says she has anemia and implies that eating plants healed it. Yet she doesn't tell her anemia is cured (and it's not and can't be cured by eating vegetables) and that her doc says it's gone, she only tells she feels good eating greens. Gaslighting at its finest.
U are delusional
Ameer logo ki yhi dhandha h h ..apne flats ..hotels buliding ka khachar phale gareeb k yahan feko aur kachre ka pahad banao ...aur tab thi log in gareeb ko bataye ki vegetable kaise ugate h gamlo m....unki jameene kachre se bharkar.....phle logo ko apne kachre ka khud hi sochna chahiye ki vo kya reuse kr skte h ...
Soon all 3 garbage mountain will be plain
This should be done on first stage from where the waste generates.
People should segregate there kitchen , industrial or other waste you should teach people how to live with zero waste .and you may stop these kind of slum dwelling .
Did you guys run out of script ideas?
Its always the women who do what really matters. Where the heck are all the fathers?
I doubt a woman from Bengal in Delhi, may be she is Rohingya, govt did a lot for these Muslim people and poor ppl tooo
Matter of fact she is, can’t you see she is growing weed 5:28, selling drugs behind the doors
no nutrition in these plants
Stop making hungry mouts to feed when You CAN'T feed them, I don't need to be smart to understand this !!!
She is spying for Pakistan thus how she manages money for her family not this gardening gimmicks
This is disgusting
