Her way of living is also a learning lesson for us to recognise, reflect and take action. Shagun’s story is a message for all of us to acknowledge the damage that we’re collectively doing. This is enough for us to begin to do something in bringing about a change. Shagun, however, believes that awareness towards environment conservation is rapidly spreading across countries. Some are up as khandars but are still surviving.” “Everyone believes building a well-cemented house is a sign of development” Every haveli, house, fort is still going strong without maintenance. The thought that naturally built mud houses die, shatters the entire existence of centuries-old knowledge. It’s been few decades and look at the conversion of the human mind. Cement as a building technique is about 70 years old. What about cement? Look at the degree with which cement has become dependable. Despite the fact that mud structures have been there since mankind, people now believe it’s of no good use. She says, “What baffles me the most are the myths about mud.
She believes it is the mindset that is the biggest hurdle in approaching a sustainable living. Speaking of challenges, Shagun says that challenges are not hers alone, our society has to face them collectively. This way, these women get to earn a livelihood transforming their lives and our quest to make the environment plastic-free gets us one step closer.” Challenges “The women in the cells stitch cloth bags which are then sold further and the money they earn is deposited into their bank accounts. Shagun, along with her team, works to provide a learning experience for a number of women prisoners in Delhi. Geeli Mitti Farms Resort - Geeli Mitti Farms Resort Nainital is 2.6 miles from Pangot and Kilbury Bird Sanctuary and features a sundeck, a summer terrace. Under Geeli Mitti Initiative the focus is not to just build mud houses but as well encourage people to learn this craft of making sustainable cost-savvy, and cozy houses that can protect people from harsh winters as mudhouses got the amazing quality of keeping the temperature constant in all weathers be it cold or hot. One such initiative includes adopting measures to beat plastic pollution. The Geeli Mitti foundation also features a number of livelihood programmes. To see a structure culminate, after so much conviction and hard work, is the most satisfying moment for me. The 45-day workshop is a great learning lesson for them. She says, “Everything that you see here, at Geeli Mitti, is built by the people who come to the workshops. The most significant part of Shagun’s journey is the ability to spread knowledge, help others transform their lives, and make a difference in this process.
