Director

Rajan Ahluwalia

Rajan Ahluwalia grew up with nature. His first love was Nature. He used to visit farms in his neighbourhood and talk to the farmers, about their farming. In adult life he would like to go to the forests and observed the intricacies of Nature. He learnt how nature recycled everything. His study of Botany and Chemistry explained to him, the way Nature cared for mankind.
Thus, after his schooling, he ventured into the World of Recycling and Renewable Energy.
He migrated to Canada in 2006 and started with his innovative project of making writing paper from used cotton rags and wastepaper. With this technology he said, the World does not need to cut a single tree to make paper.
He has always been passionate about Nature. He would advocate and dedicated his life in preserving nature.
Now after Covid, when lots of businesses were affected and Nature preservation took a deep step back, he ventured in to preserving nature as his ultimate goal.
He with other Directors formed NWST CHARITABLE FOUNDATION.
