A Deadliest white graveyard can create creative grounds !! 

A thrilling experience at Chitrakut Nagar, Udaipur. Yes, this is true, marble slurry has become a big problem in several local regions, where it is being thrown at several places without any consideration. The marble slurry dumping yard at Chitrakut Nagar, Udaipur was shocking experience for ecowings team during the site visit. It is creating a dead land like graveyard of green hills and creating big trouble for farmers and living creatures. Ecowings group observed as how hills have been demolished to prepare for dumping. It is spoiling the beauty of Udaipur and several habitats...

It was notices as around 90% of the world's production of marble comes from India and approx 85% of India's production is received from Rajasthan and almost all mining and processing activities are concentrated around Udaipur. 

Current environmental problems due to marble slurry : 

(a) Air pollution

When the marble slurry get dried after dumping it starts spreading in air and creates air polution. The results could be very hazardous and can deeply impact to human lives. 

(c) Water pollution

Most of the slurry is processed to recycle the water, this water gets contaminated and thrown away after several processes. 

(d) Problems for farmers for vegetation : 

It is very hard to grow vegetables in slurry impacted areas where the land has changed it basic properties which is needed to cultivate the farming. 

(e) Clustering the environment 

Due to heavy mass production and waste, running factories of gang-saw and marble processing have created visual clutter in the heritage place and spreading its destructive arms rapidly. 

(f) Occupying farming land : 

Large amount of waste is demanding open areas where marble slurry can easily be dumped, due to this, huge amount of farming land is being occupied without any consideration. 

(h) Shrinking habitat : 

The green lands with trees are converting into dead lands, posing several problems for flora and fauna. The wild life is getting impacted due to barren land and food. Ecowings team has taken few positive steps to cope us this problem and took this challenge to solve it upto some extent. There are couple of solutions are exemplified to create mass awareness such as sculptures made out of marble slurry can create one solution to make people aware about it. The team is working on the ground level and will put forth more innovative solutions in upcoming months. 

Challenge : 

>The amount of waste marble slurry is in tons which is a big challenge to recycle for the further processing. 

>In several open areas, most of the land has become dead and barren, which is again causing a big problem for the villagers and wild life creatures for their upcoming generation. 

>Breath related challenges are there which is coming like consequences and sequels. 

 What could be the possible solutions : 

The below sculptures have been developed by ecowings artisans by using marble slurry material. These highly detailed sculptures are a fair example of transformation of marble slurry which could be a potential material to enrich the lifestyle and can uplift the culture through new eco innovations. The team is working on various ideas, concepts models, permutation and combination to seek out new opportunities and finding new ways of lifestyle products 

Product name : Nirvana (Buddha head) , Made out of marble slurry material 

Ganesha : Made out of waste marble slurry 

Rajasthani elephant style : Sculpture made out of waste marble slurry 

Conclusion : 

>Marble slurry in industry is discarded as a waste which does not have any use but for an artist it can open several channels of livelihood.

>Through simple innovative ideas, small steps towards the creativity can really strengthen the weaker section areas and provide them entrepreneur opportunities where design can play vital role to uplift the lifestyle.

>This material can reduce the consumption of natural resources and can bring major transformation in life style product industry.
