SELFLESS SOCIAL SERVICE BY FAUJIS : COL PS BINDRA

 

A Champion of Environmental Change

 

Colonel PS Bindra, a dynamic leader and a relentless force in environmental conservation, serves as the Brand Ambassador of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in Karnal, Haryana. His commitment to sustainable development has made a significant impact on waste management, green initiatives, and clean energy production. An alumnus of UP Sainik School, Lucknow, Col Bindra is an engine of power, driven by full "josh" in his mission to bring transformation through Parivartan and BluVentr. 

One of his ground breaking initiatives is the Seed Ball Revolution in schools across Karnal and Pilibhit, where students actively participate in creating and dispersing seed balls, contributing to reforestation efforts. His innovative approach has instilled environmental responsibility among young minds and inspired numerous institutions to adopt similar projects. 

Taking his vision further, Col Bindra has now initiated a biogas plant in Gaushala, Phoosgarh, Karnal, aimed at utilizing cattle waste for energy production and environmental conservation. This project not only mitigates methane emissions but also provides a sustainable energy source, reinforcing his commitment to green solutions. 

 A Lifetime of Service: From Army to Environmental Leadership 

Col PS Bindra’s journey in environmental activism began during his UN mission in Somalia (1993) when he witnessed extreme poverty and hunger. With a compassionate approach, he helped the poor by organizing PET bottle collection along the supply routes. This simple yet effective system not only reduced waste but also provided a livelihood to struggling communities. 

After his return to India, his mission never stopped. Over the decades, he has initiated practical, large-scale environmental projects across various states, significantly impacting waste management and green energy production. His latest achievement in Pilibhit includes collecting 700 tonnes of paddy stubble from 1,000 acres a potential pollutant that farmers would have otherwise burned, harming the environment. Instead, he is now converting this agricultural waste mixed with sugarcane residue ( Maili)into eco-friendly coal.

For his exceptional contributions, Col Bindra was honoured with the Veterans Achiever Award in Dehradun by the Chief of Army Staff in December last year. His work has been widely recognized in publications like The Times of India and various Hindi newspapers since 1993, highlighting his consistent efforts in environmental conservation and community welfare. 

Through vision, determination, and relentless action, Col PS Bindra continues to drive meaningful change, proving that one man’s mission can create a sustainable, greener future for all.
