Three 16 year old Indian students can remove microplastics from water using tamarind seeds.
And they've received a $12,500 grant from The Earth Prize to develop this solution.
How did they do it?
Tamarind seeds have something called polysaccharide - which is a sticky compound that can natural polymer. Kinda like a plant-based glue.
This glue when mixed with water can pull out microplastics and clump them together.
And these kids are using the same principle to develop their product called "Plas-Stick" - which is just this power made from waste tamarind seeds.
Now, "Plas-Stick" is still in its developmental stage and there is a lot that needs to be done before it can be scaled.
But if they pull this off - we could have a simple, biodegradable and scalable solution to purify water for billions of people in the world.
And that's something.
Kudos to Vivaan Chhawchharia, Ariana Agarwal, and Avyana Mehta.

Government block claim is misleading.
Technical checks show:
> Domain is on clientHold status
> Public DNS resolvers like Google (8.8.8.8) and Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) now return NXDOMAIN
> Website earlier resolved and returned HTTP 403 from active Hostinger infrastructure
This usually indicates registrar/hosting-side restriction, suspension, or intentional access denial not a typical ISP/government block.
If the government had blocked it directly, public DNS would usually still resolve the domain while access would fail at the ISP/network level through DNS poisoning, connection resets, or filtering.
The owner most likely did it himself.
Crown Princess of Norway had sent 100s of emails to Epstein. She even stayed in his palm beach house.
Her son was on a r@pe trial. The AUDACITY of these Pedo Countries to ask us about Human Rights.
🚨 Dhirendra Shastri ji absolutely roasted that TV9 anchor!
Recognize this shameless TV9 anchor who was repeatedly asking loaded questions on communist orders.
Baba shut her mouth properly.
Now the truth is out for everyone to see.
No more fake narratives.
Jai Shri Ram 🚩🚩🚩
@skarlapudi@Mrsinha That feeling comes when u praise a leader while he is not worthy of that praise, or when u are just bootlicking him, but when leader seriously deserves it cause of his work and his people support, is it still the same ?
IMO both are different test cases
The central government is sponsoring 12 Somayajna-s at 12 Jyotirlinga-s. Have you seen anyone promoting that ? Perhaps because no one in party/IT cell realises the importance except a few very senior people I guess.

Its a duty of government to provide appropriate number of seats to all political party in parliament, and whom the party gives the seat to is not in control of the government.
