In Varanasi, IAS officer Akshat Verma turned discarded clothes from Ganga ghats into a sustainable solution. Teaming up with Hope Welfare Foundation, local women transformed these textiles into 1 lakh eco-friendly bags, tackling pollution, creating jobs, and promoting sustainability.
The task was to identify walls, bridges, buildings, water tanks and other structures, which could host wall art and transform the place into India’s first-ever street art city!
