The students bring fruits and vegetable peels from home. The kitchen waste is then mixed with jaggery. This smelly waste is then stored in an isolated room for a few months, with regular stirring during the first month. This mixture is then strained with the help of a muslin cloth, and is collected in washed and reused Lemonade bottles. Eco enzymes along with other products like Organic soaps, manures etc are responsibly produced and well packed to be sold at the annual Sambhaav Diwali sale.
