Haryana’s Professor Shivdarshan Malik is gaining national attention for leading a sustainable housing revolution through his pioneering work with Vedic Plaster and Gocrete bricks — innovative building materials made from cow dung, neem, and other natural components.

Designed to bring nature back into modern homes, these eco-friendly materials are transforming the way India thinks about construction. According to Malik, Vedic Plaster and Gocrete bricks can lower indoor temperatures by up to 7°C, significantly cutting electricity consumption during peak summers.

Homeowners using these materials report cooler, more breathable living spaces, thanks to the natural composition that regulates heat, humidity, and airflow. Beyond comfort, the innovation offers a sustainable alternative that reduces environmental impact while reviving traditional Indian building wisdom.

Professor Malik’s mission aligns with the growing global push for climate-friendly architecture. By merging ancient knowledge with modern engineering, he aims to make green living practical and affordable for rural and urban communities alike.

Experts say such bio-based materials could play a key role in India’s climate strategy, especially as the country seeks low-carbon, energy-efficient housing solutions.

With increasing interest from architects, environmentalists, and homeowners nationwide, Malik’s innovation is proving that small lifestyle shifts can drive big environmental change.
