Indian Scholar Demonstrates Ocean Cleaning Potential of International Students in US

June 4 :
Winner of the Project Planet USA challenge and recipient of a $15,000 award is Shubham Harishchandra Madhavi of New York City's Pace University's Seidenberg School. His "groundbreaking" idea involves using bio-bricks made from ocean plastic to restore coral reefs and fight against environmental deterioration. "His passion for innovation and sustainability is reshaping our fight against climate change," Pace said of the graduate student, calling him a "trailblazing. "

The trip of Shubham from Mumbai to New York "embodies resilience and determination," according to a press release from Pace U.

According to the University, he overcame insurmountable odds by staying determined and ultimately received funding to make his dream a reality. Although Madhavi was aware that the event would take place, she had no notion that she would come out on top. "Winning was a complete surprise," she said.

With the help and resources given to him, he hopes that one day his unique bio-bricks will have an effect all across the world, even in India, his home. I may make this my full-time job if there is a lot of room for growth and we continue to receive funding. Why? Because I would be thrilled to do my part to aid Mother Earth in her fight against climate change.

His goal is to make his innovation a worldwide phenomenon. Furthermore, the school has backed his endeavours because it recognises the value of overseas pupils. With the words, "Join us in supporting his mission to create a greener, more sustainable future—one bio-brick at a time." The University continued by saying, Shubham’s story is a testament to the transformative power of determination and innovation in tackling our most pressing environmental challenges.
