Carbon credits are becoming one of the newest income sources in India. As companies try to reduce pollution, they are paying money to farmers, landowners and businesses that help protect nature.


What Are Carbon Credits?

A carbon credit is a certificate that shows 1 tonne of CO₂ has been reduced or removed.

If you plant trees, use biogas, grow bamboo, or protect forests, you can earn these credits.

2. A certified agency checks your work

3. They issue carbon credits

4. You sell these credits to companies

5. You earn money

This is called carbon trading.


Who Can Earn?

Farmers (tree plantation, bamboo, organic farming)

Landowners (afforestation projects)

Businesses (biogas, waste recycling, solar energy)

Startups (carbon tracking apps, green tech)


How Much Can You Earn?

Carbon credit prices change, but most projects earn ₹300 to ₹1,500 per credit.

If a project generates 500 credits, income can be:- ₹1.5 lakhs to ₹7.5 lakhs per cycle.

Big projects earn in crores.

Why It’s the Future:-

Companies want to become eco-friendly

Government supports green projects

International buyers prefer Indian credits

Low investment, long-term income

Green activities are turning into real money opportunities, especially for rural India.


Carbon credits allow anyone—from farmers to small businesses—to earn income by protecting nature. With global demand rising, this is becoming one of India’s most promising green business ideas for the coming years.

One bowler, two generations — from 1969 born Jayasuriya of Gen X generation to a 2011-born kid of Gen Z!!

 Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma has achieved a rare and unbelievable cricket record. He has bowled to players who were born 42 years apart, proving his incredible longevity in the game. Ishant made his international debut back in 2007, when legends like Sanath Jayasuriya (born in 1969) were still playing. Fast-forward to domestic cricket in 2024–25, and Ishant is now bowling to young talents like Vaibhav Suryavanshi — born in 2011, literally a school kid when Ishant was already a veteran. This unbelievable gap shows how long Ishant has been serving Indian cricket. Very few fast bowlers in world cricket have survived across three generations of players — but Ishant has done it quietly, without noise, without hype. From troubling Ricky Ponting in 2008 to challenging Gen-Z batters in 2025, Ishant Sharma has written a story of pure fitness, discipline, and passion. Cricket fans are calling it: “From VHS era to Instagram Reels — Ishant has bowled to everyone!” A record that might neve...
