Kavita

Waste Management Intern

Kavita is a Research Scholar at the University of Kerala, chose to collaborate with PCFML due to her research focus on Oceanic Humanities, which delves into the cultural, ethical, and ecological representation of oceans in art and literature. Her work necessitates a deep exploration of human-ocean relationships in the Anthropocene era. PCFML, with its wide-ranging involvement in social, environmental, and humanitarian issues, offers her a concrete understanding of the ongoing global ocean crisis.

In her role as a volunteer, Kavita is actively assisting the waste management team in developing new strategies to reduce unattended organic waste at its source. She also conducts training sessions for community women to enhance the effectiveness of the Waste to Wealth project. This practical engagement not only aligns with her research but also fosters cultural exchange and hones her leadership skills.

Summing up her experience, Kavita emphasizes, “The organization’s commitment to a healthier ocean, people, and planet has allowed me to explore the possibilities of ocean conservation.”
