The record
Now
- Now /now One card each, and the kind of limit each reading is held to.
- Delhi’s air /now/air The consequence comes before the measurement, because the measurement is not the point. Every figure here is measured against a limit India has not adopted.
- India’s extreme rain /now/climate-event 3,594 people in 2024, from five named causes in one official table. Four of the five rose.
- India’s forest fires /now/forest-fire 11 people are recorded as having died in a forest fire in India, in a period the country mapped 34,562 square kilometres of burnt forest. Both figures are official.
- India’s forest loss /now/forest-loss Three, in fact — and two of them are not independent, which matters more than the disagreement.
- India’s heat /now/heat 1,832 people in 2024. It was 804 the year before.
- Delhi’s Yamuna /now/yamuna Before the rest of this page asks for your attention: the Yamuna is not an exception. It is the one Delhi has to look at.
Work
- Campaigns /work/campaigns Public pressure with a name on it, since We for Yamuna in 2000.
- Monsoon Wooding /work/campaigns/monsoon-wooding The verb is ours and it is the whole campaign: planted and survived.
- Events /work/events Workshops, concerts and plays. One night at a time.
- The work /work Everything Swechha runs, in one place. Projects, campaigns, journeys and events.
- Journeys — school camps and walks /work/journeys A thousand kilometres on one river, or five days in a village.
- CityScapes /work/journeys/cityscapes The eco-walks, renamed. A river bank, a landfill, a ridge forest, a heritage water system — all of it already inside Delhi, all of it reachable before lunch.
- Gram Anubhav /work/journeys/gram-anubhav Purely experiential, which here means you are not shown a village. You stay in one, eat in one, and do a day's work in one.
- NatureScapes /work/journeys/naturescapes Six destinations, four ecosystems, one school group at a time. None of the six explains itself from a classroom, which is the only reason to take a bus that far.
- Yamuna Yatra /work/journeys/yamuna-yatra From where it originates and is pristine, down to the point where it reaches Agra and is almost a toxic body of water. Twelve days.
- Projects /work/projects Curriculum, campus and garden. The work that runs for years.
- Bridge the Gap /work/projects/bridge-the-gap Between a hundred and a hundred and fifty Delhi schools every year. Land, water, air, waste, climate change — and who gets left out of all five.
- Eco Action /work/projects/eco-action One public park in Vasant Kunj went from five per cent green cover to ninety, over a decade. That is the whole argument for this project.
- Farm School /work/projects/farm-school An organic, experiential, deconstructed un'education Learning Lab. In practice: five acres, an hour and a half from Delhi, and a farm that has to actually produce or the lesson is wrong.
- Influence /work/projects/influence Ten fellows a year, each one running at a problem in their own neighbourhood. Climate, air, environment, waste. Pick one, then build something.
- ME to WE /work/projects/me-to-we It started in 2007 as a volunteer school on the banks of the Yamuna. Some of the children who came to it are now core team members here.
Stories and films
- Stories and films /stories The readings are one kind of record. These are the others — films made with the people in them, and a poster series that said the same things on paper, in a city that reads walls before it reads reports.
