This April, the Kolkata Climate Week  brings together  innovation and impact with Pravah: The Ganga Expedition (April 5–9) and Parivartan (April 10–11).

• Pravah: The Ganga Anti-Plastic Pollution Campaign - a five day event at Kolkata, as a part of the overall anti-plastic pollution campaign along the Ganga river system, which is the second largest source of oceanic plastic pollution. To highlight the river pollution and potentials of tech-driven solutions, among other things, we would be running an automated trash boat created by an Indian startup and on-the-spot river water quality testing by another startup.

• Parivartan: Mainstreaming Climate Tech – A two-day startup-focussed event aimed at promoting cutting-edge climate and other breakthrough technologies to drive social innovation. We are expecting a large number of investors and ecosystem players like India Accelerator, T-Hub, IIT KGP and others to join in this.
