Green Carpet Foundation: Empowering the Next Generation Through Innovation & Sustainability
Press Releases » The CSR Arm of Thai Green Power Solutions New Delhi [India], June 25: Green Carpet Foundation is the dedicated Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and social innovation arm of Thai Green Power Solutions Co., Ltd., (TGPS) a global leader in sustainable energy and technological transformation with presence across Thailand, Singapore, Sri Lanka, UAE, the United States, and Europe. Rooted in the powerful mission of Planet – People – Prosperity, the foundation leads initiatives that not only tackle environmental concerns but also uplift communities through future-centric education, skill development, and decentralized digital inclusion. Building a Green Innovation Ecosystem – From Campuses to Communities At the heart of Green Carpet Foundation's approach is the belief that sustainable transformation starts with empowering people— especially students and young professionals. In alignment with this belief, the foundation is establishing Technical Incubation Centers in educational institutions across India and abroad. These centers offer hands-on training, live projects, mentorship, and placement support in the most in-demand and evolving sectors of today's world, including: ● Solar & Electric Vehicle (EV) Technologies ● Web2 and Web3 Technologies (without exposure to financial tokens or crypto) ● Cross-platform skill-building through real ventures All programs are designed in collaboration with industry experts, startups, and domain leaders to ensure practical, result-driven learning. Web3 for the Real World – Beyond Buzzwords Unlike speculative trends, Green Carpet Foundation brings Web3 into educational ecosystems with purpose— focused on decentralized digital identity, transparent data models, immersive learning technologies, and smart infrastructure. Through industry collaborations, students learn to apply Web3 in real-world settings — from digital credentials and secure academic record systems to decentralized community engagement tools— avoiding the speculative aspects of blockchain finance while embracing its core technological value. The incubation model is strengthened by direct access to live projects, internships, and innovations happening inside the TGPS ecosystem, including: ●Zigoo– A green-commerce marketplace redefining conscious consumption ●FreCx– Smart finance and ESG-aligned solutions for a digital economy These active industry interfaces ensure that student learning remains current, immersive, and implementation-ready. Growing Institutional Network The Green Carpet Foundation has already partnered with leading institutions, establishing model incubation centers in: Polytechnic College, Coimbatore Babu University, Tirupati Gandhi College of Engineering & Technology, Cuddalore Each collaboration involves curated technical programs, faculty engagement, and real-time industry mentoring — creating a collaborative knowledge corridor between academia and enterprise. Social Impact Meets Tech-Driven Empowerment Green Carpet Foundation's programs are uniquely designed to cater to underrepresented groups such as: ●Rural and semi-urban students ●Women entering technical careers ●Students from government-funded institutions ●First-generation learners with limited access to digital infrastructure By removing entry barriers and focusing on equity, employability, and environmental alignment, the foundation is nurturing a generation that is not only job-ready but also purpose-driven. A Call to Academic Leaders & Changemakers Green Carpet Foundation invites visionary institutions, departments, and educational councils to collaborate and expand this innovation-led model across the country and beyond. Together, we can: ●Prepare students for emerging global industries ●Build green and inclusive campus ecosystems ●Create job-ready talent pools with future-ready skills ●Empower communities with real access to technological opportunityConclusion: Education as the Engine of Sustainable Progress The Green Carpet Foundation is more than just a CSR initiative — it is a catalyst for systemic change, where technology, sustainability, and inclusive education converge to build a resilient and empowered society. By embedding technical incubation within academic institutions and aligning students with real-world innovations, the Foundation ensures that learning translates into action, and knowledge leads to impact. As we move toward a future shaped by environmental urgency and digital transformation, the Green Carpet Foundation stands committed to nurturing talent that not only thrives in the new world but also helps define every collaboration, every center, and every student we support, we take one step closer to a greener, smarter, and more equitable future for all.

Growing divide between gender fluidity and women's reality
We live in peculiar times. There is a conscious attempt to dismantle gender binaries, celebrate fluidity, and challenge traditional norms. Yet, the lived experiences of gender are becoming more pronounced, particularly for women. The contributions they make and the sacrifices they endure are intensifying, revealing a stark contrast between theoretical frameworks and ground realities. Gender Equality.(Getty Images/iStockphoto) The global economic landscape is grim, inflation is soaring, and real wages have failed to keep pace with rising prices. A 2024 Oxfam report reveals that women earn only 51 cents for every dollar a man earns—nearly half the income for the same work. This reflects the systemic inequality that forces women into cycles of poverty and dependence. The World Bank's Poverty, Prosperity, and Planet Report 2024 paints an even bleaker picture. Nearly 864.1 million people were affected by severe food insecurity in 2023, and nearly 60% of them are women and girls. In India as in many other countries, the economic crisis has reduced access to nutritious foods like meat and vegetables. The result is a rise in anaemia among women, as their iron intake from essential foods declines. On the other hand, the National Family Health Survey-5 (NFHS-5) highlights rising rates of overweight and obesity, particularly among women. In Tamil Nadu, for instance, 40.4% of women are overweight or obese, up from 30.9% a decade ago. Among men, the figures stand at 37% and 28.2%, respectively. This trend is partly attributed to the public distribution system (PDS), which provides five kg of rice per person but fails to address the need for balanced diets. While the PDS ensures that hunger is alleviated, exhausting workloads leave little room for self-care, exacerbating health challenges. Research from IIM Ahmedabad, two years ago, underscores the immense burden of unpaid domestic work shouldered by Indian women. On average, they spend 7.2 hours daily on household chores—amounting to nearly 50 hours a week. For women who also work outside the home, this dual burden stretches their days. A 2023-24 SBI survey estimates that if women's unpaid work were monetized, it would contribute a staggering ₹ 22 lakh crore annually—roughly 7% of India's GDP. This invisible labour of women, among the highest in the world, remains unrecognised and unrewarded. The climate crisis further exacerbates gender inequalities. During droughts, women and girls are often forced to walk longer distances, sometimes in the dark, to fetch water. This not only increases their risk of sexual violence but also limits their ability to maintain menstrual hygiene or attend school. In many societies, women are not taught to swim, leaving them disproportionately vulnerable to rising sea levels and floods. These examples highlight how systemic inequalities amplify the risks women face in times of crisis. The ongoing conflict in Gaza is a grim reminder of how war indiscriminately affects women and children. Around 60% of those who have lost their lives are women and children, underscoring the gendered dimensions of violence and displacement. In a world where gender experiences are becoming starker, how can we disengage from these realities and claim that gender is merely a performance? While academic discourses on dismantling binaries and deconstructing norms are valuable, they must be grounded in the concrete conditions of people's lives. For millions of women, gender is not an abstract concept, but a lived reality shaped by economic hardship, unpaid labour, health disparities, and climate vulnerability. To address these challenges, we need more than theoretical deconstruction. This article is authored by Sruti MD, assistant professor, department of English, Shiv Nadar University, Chennai.

Resource Works Launches 'Shaping the Peace,' First Report in New Shared Prosperity Series Spotlighting Northeast BC
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Resource Works Society today released Shaping the Peace: Balancing Energy, Environment, and Reconciliation in Northeast BC , the inaugural study in its new Shared Prosperity series profiling key regions that power British Columbia's economy. Drawing on six months of field work, dozens of community interviews, and original data analysis, the report confirms that a region with less than one percent of the province's population supplies virtually all of BC's natural gas, more than thirty percent of its hydroelectricity, and a growing share of its renewable power. The web report and PDF report are available online now. 'BC's economic independence quite literally runs through the northeast,' said Margareta Dovgal, Managing Director of Resource Works and report co-author. 'Ignoring that reality weakens the province, undercuts reconciliation, and leaves climate goals unfunded.' Rawie Elnur, Lead Author and Research Manager, added: 'Spending only a handful of days in Northeast B.C. showed me how quickly assumptions fall away when you listen to people who live and work there. This study captures that perspective and invites readers to do the same.' Stewart Muir, President and CEO of Resource Works, said that 'Without the Peace Region there is no credible path to a low-carbon, high-prosperity future for British Columbia. Producer regions carry the heaviest burdens; they deserve policies that match their contribution.' Chamber of Commerce backs the study 'As someone who lives and works in Northeast BC, I see every day how deeply our communities contribute to this province — through our energy, our agriculture, and our people. Shaping the Peace reflects the lived experiences of our region and offers real, practical solutions. We support its call for policies that respect our realities, invest in our future, and ensure local voices are part of the path forward. This report gives us hope that balance is possible — between growth, environment, and reconciliation,' said Tiffany Hetenyi, Executive Director of the Fort St. John & District Chamber of Commerce. Human stories at the centre Award-winning communicator Julie Rogers, APR gathered frontline perspectives that ground the analysis in lived reality. A veteran of twenty years in municipal communications across the northeast, Rogers translated technical findings into plain-language narratives featured throughout the publication. She profiled local residents Valerie Askoty, Tim and Charlie Hartnell, Moira Green, Edward Stanford, and Amy Fraser. Key recommendations About Resource Works Society Resource Works is an independent, non-partisan not-for-profit that fosters informed dialogue on responsible natural resource development. We convene communities, Indigenous leaders, industry, and decision-makers to advance sustainable prosperity for all British Columbians.
