As per the World Climate Risk Index 2021 study, the planet is braving climate change, the most important issue of this time. India is ranking seventh because the most compact country by climate change’s damaging effects in 2019.
To pass away the knowledge relating to climate change to everyone, a 21-year-old has started an initiative.
Siddhant Sarang may be a history undergrad student at Satyawati faculty in Delhi. Since his days at school, he has been a detailed watcher of world climate-related events. He has created a podcast in Bhojpuri known as ‘Dharti Maiya’.
“I believe that an informed person is an empowered citizen. Information about climate and environmental changes is mostly available in English and, very few people understand it. India is a diverse country with a lot of languages and, very few people know English. So to widen the base of environmental awareness, I thought that information must be available in many languages. I took the first step and launched a podcast on climate change in Bhojpuri in February 2021,” Siddhant said, speaking to Life Beyond Numbers.
“It occurred to me that we could make it multilingual using AI(Artificial Technology). In addition, I would like to engage the rural community in the subject of climate change, thus an application will be quite useful. We are developing an app and a website that will telecast the information in all 22 languages included in the Indian Constitution’s 8th list,” he added.
This project additionally aims to support grassroots activists by sharing temperature change info associated with success connecting with individuals.
Siddhant’s enthusiasm gave rise to him to make a brief documentary movie on climate change throughout his college days, which won him an award.

He was also awarded the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust Scholarship, which enabled him to attend the One Young World Summit in London, UK.
