Mrs. Aparna Pujari
Eco Entrepreneur
Bilva Entreprises Dharwad

I am basically from a small conservative family of Dharwad. The place where I stay still has a rural atmosphere and still needs a lot of developments. The inclination towards uplifting my locality, to empower women in my locality, to save our environment, the urgent need to recycle, restore and make a sustainable ecology. So theses were some of the thoughts I always used to ponder upon.

A combination of all these thoughts. The desire to make these into a reality. I am an MBA graduate in Human Resource Management had always dreamed of becoming an Entrepreneur.

The courage to dream about these bought me to an entreprunal journey. You don’t become an entruperuneur all of a sudden. That something just comes out of your mind and the next day you implement it.

Atleast for me it was a process. And I had to take each step at one time. It took me years and trust me it is not a cake walk. You will have to face challenges, short comings and failures more than success.

It is an environmentally friendly approach. Which focuses on reduce recycle and reuse. Here we are using old newspaper as our main raw material in making an entirely new product without cutting of trees.

The new technology uses old newspaper which would have added to the already pilled up landfills and hence these newspapers are given a life and a new product is designed which serves the same purpose of the pencil. And hence is more ecofriendly product. A small step to save our mother earth.
