The HimGra initiative of DESCATUK aligns closely with the goals and priorities of Catalyst 2030, a global movement aimed at achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Here's how: 1. Promoting Sustainable Development HimGra's core mission directly contributes to sustainable development through: Environmental Conservation: HimGra fiber is grown on rainfed lands without fertilizers and pesticides, reducing water usage and soil degradation. Its waterless mechanical fiber processing technology further minimizes environmental impact. Climate Action (SDG 13): By offering an alternative to conventional polluting fibers, HimGra reduces the carbon footprint of the textile industry. 2. Empowering Rural Communities HimGra supports livelihoods in rural hill areas of Uttarakhand by: Creating Employment: Each fabric made from HimGra benefits women in rural areas and handloom weavers. Strengthening Local Economies (SDG 8): By investing in local communities, HimGra creates resilient economies, combating the adverse effects of fast fashion and global warming. 3. Innovative Solutions for Systemic Change HimGra is an example of grassroots innovation addressing systemic challenges in the fashion and textile industry: Innovation in Materials (SDG 9): HimGra's patented, sustainable processing methods and its ability to blend with conventional fibers make it scalable and competitive. Collaboration with Impact Leaders: Validated by IIT Mandi Catalyst, Fashion for Good, and IRMA-Iseed, and supported by the Government of Uttarakhand, HimGra exemplifies collaborative, impact-driven innovation. 4. Advancing Ethical Fashion for luxury HimGra challenges the status quo of fast fashion by promoting sustainable and ethical luxury fashion, contributing to: Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12): It emphasizes traceability and sustainable practices in the entire value chain. Social Impact: By involving SHG groups and addressing the challenges of marginalized communities, HimGra ensures inclusivity and equitable growth. 5. Global Collaboration Potential HimGra resonates with Catalyst 2030’s emphasis on partnerships for systemic change (SDG 17): Cross-Sector Collaboration: DESCATUK works with academic institutions, brands, rural communities, and policymakers. Impact Validation: Partnerships with J-PAL South Asia for impact validation and recognition by global platforms make it a strong contender for international support and scalability. 6. Catalyzing Change in Fashion HimGra addresses the fashion industry's contribution to environmental and social crises through a holistic approach that supports Catalyst 2030’s vision of creating a sustainable and equitable world by 2030. In summary, HimGra reflects Catalyst 2030's values by combining innovation, community empowerment, and environmental stewardship to transform the fashion industry while addressing critical global challenges. This makes it a highly relevant and impactful initiative for the movement.

Connect, collaborate, learn, engage, be inspired - to bring about needed change in education sector

I deeply believe that only when we really listen to each other, learn from each other and work together to address the most complex and pressing problems in the world, can we really bring about any transformative change! Catalyst is bringing together some of the most innovative, pro-active and resilient leaders together. I want to learn from them and add value wherever I can.

My motivation to join Catalyst is to play a role, in trying to make a difference to peoples lives by getting our educational & learning product to reach as many children & curious minds as possible - across the globe. We want to special attention to the marginalized parts of the society whose growth is restricted by the limited means of living that people have. We believe that Education & Learning is the only way 'thinking' can change and only when that happens - will we will begin to see changes within us and around us - which can then lead to a better life. The idea is to inspire children and the curious minds to think - by acquiring knowledge and information and we want to reach as many of them as possible.
