Most of the students in rural schools of India sit down on the floor for long studying hours. A study revealed a prevalence of 63% of FHP among 12–16-year-old school going students. Sitting on the floor and studying for 6-8 hours affects posture, resulting in back pain, poor eyesight, inefficiency to concentrate and study.

We as a society are creating massive amounts of waste. The cost of managing this waste is growing exponentially every year and also it’s dumping in landfills and seas is causing a lot of damage to our environment. Our society is struggling to find a solution to this problem. 

 Many students in India still use plastic bags to carry books to school. Many schools and homes in India do not have furniture for students. Basic posture comfort while studying is a basic need. Hygiene and sustainability habits should be inculcated at a very early age, most rural students get little education on this.

The YeloGreen school bag is the first of its sort, this sustainably innovative School Bag is designed to solve problems faced by less-privileged students while inspiring them to protect the environment.
