Air pollution in India is a serious health issue. Of the most polluted cities in the world, 21 out of 30 are in India. Patna is the fifth most polluted city in the world in terms of PM (Particular Matter) 2.5 concentrations, according to a global air pollution database released by the World Health Organisation (WHO). PM 2.5 is the level of ultra-fine particles of less than 2.5 microns which invade human lungs and cause serious health problems, including cancer. Patna’s PM 2.5 concentration was recorded at 144 micrograms per cubic metre. If you thought that staying indoors in an air-conditioned home or workspace can save you from the health hazards of polluted air, think again. Studies show that energy efficient, modern buildings, indoor air pollution poses threat to the health of the inhabitants. The fresh air exchange is almost zero. 

 International research (NASA) has demonstrated that indoor plants can substantially improve indoor environmental quality, reducing all types of air pollution and directly improving health and wellbeing of occupants. Studies have shown that indoor plants can significantly reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs and CO2)

In order to contribute in improving the Environment & Air Pollution worsening situation, Mr. Abhijit Narayan started Green Shelter in August’ 2016 in Patna with an objective to encourage & assist people on plantation & provide end to end solutions in it. Abhijeet Narayan is an MBA – Marketing with work experience of 14 years in Sales & Marketing and Nupur Narayan co-founder is PG Diploma in Fashion Designing with work experience of 2 years.  They found huge gap in between the demand & supply in market and still it’s being done in traditional ways in our state, hence he decided to take it up as a challenge and bridge the gap between the buyer & seller. He is also trying to break the mind-set barrier that growing and maintaining plant is a complex thing by providing easy & ready to use solutions for it. He is trying to target both the adults and younger generation through different product strategies in plantation so that bigger change can be done. With the help of this venture he is benefitting not only consumer to fight with indoor pollution but also benefitting farmers to get additional income apart from gardeners getting constant work though his platform.
