She also received positive response from many states like Bihar, Mahrashtra, Sikkim, Delhi, etc. From zero to over 1.5 lakhs (150,000) schools have now teaching climate education in their school syllabus after her request. Now, India became the first country in Asia and second after Italy making climate education mandatory in the school education curriculum. And also many European countries and USA have started teaching climate education in schools.

Finally, on 28th October 2020, President of India signed an ordinance to enact a new law to fight the air pollution crisis in Delhi. As per Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas Bill, 2021, violating any provision of this bill, or orders and directions from the Commission, can result in a fine of up to Rs 1 crore, up to five years in jail. It was a great success in the history of India’s Climate Movement.
Transformation of Taj Mahal
On 20th June 2022, Licypriya visited to see the Taj Mahal for the first time. She found the iconic Taj Mahal’s backyard and the inside with full of single used plastic waste like a dustbin. Later, she protested at the Taj Mahal, Agra with a banner writing “Behind the Beauty of Taj Mahal is Plastic Pollution” near the Yamuna river. The picture gone viral in the social media and the plastic pollution around the Taj Mahal was cleaned within 24 hours by the authority and the authority responsible was fine Rs 1 lakhs by the Government. Now, the Taj Mahal has been transformed into a single used plastic free monument. It was widely appreciated by millions of people around the world.
World’s first Plastic Money Shop
In 10th July 2022, Licypriya have launched the world’s first “Plastic Money Shop” at a metro station inside the Delhi University Campus. This is a unique initiative & first of its kind in the world where people can bring single used plastic waste from home and can swap free rice or stationery items or a sapling from her shop. The mission of this project is to eliminate single use plastic waste from our planet. And again the collected single used plastic waste has been converted (upcycled) into school benches, desks, house roof sheets, road tiles, bricks, etc. This project won several awards including Anthem Award 2023 in USA & International Young Eco Hero Award 2024 by Action for Nature, California. The project received wide global appreciation and the idea has been replicated in many cities of India and the World.
Guinness World Record
Licypriya attempted the Guinness World Record in 2022 with the largest plastic bottle sentence where she collected through her plastic money shops to send a strong poignant message on the global plastic pollution crisis. She wrote “Save our Planet and Our Future” with 6,056 plastic bottles in 9.02 minutes. She was successfully able to break the record with her sisters Irina Kangujam and the students of Ryan International School, Noida Extension. Licypriya & sister have collected all these bottles from hotels, restaurants and people through her Plastic Money Shop. Licypriya said, “It’s not about just breaking a record; we’re fighting one of the biggest problems of our time: the climate change and the global plastic pollution crisis. Our little efforts can help to reduce the plastic pollution crisis in my country. I am a child who strongly believes that children can lead the change.” India alone produces about 3.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually.
Licypriya Stop COP28 Dubai
In the 2023 United Nations Climate Conference, also known as COP28 Dubai, when the world leaders failed to negotiate to adopt a resolution to end the era of fossil fuels, Licypriya stood up by holding a placard writing “End the Era of Fossil Fuels. Save our Planet, save our Future”on the stage of the high level session of COP28 Dubai and protested in front of hundreds of world leaders. She shouted “Our Leaders Lie, People Die” and urged leaders to unite for a safe future for them. She demanded world leaders to give clean air to breathe, clean water to drink and a clean planet to live in. She spoke bravely on stage that “this is our basic rights”. Fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas are the top causes of the global climate crisis today. Later, COP28 was extended for 2 more days beyond the closing date and the world leaders agreed and signed the documents to end the era of fossil fuels by 2050 and double the renewable energy efforts by 2030. The Financial Times newspaper published the iconic photo of Licypriya Kangujam’s protest at COP28 in the front full page and she was appreciated globally for her integrity and bravery.
100 Free Houses
In June 2024, Licypriya started building 100 free houses for the victims of recent Manipur Violence and also for the victims of recent massive hailstorm and flash floods. Manipur faced 5 flash floods within 2 months. Her house was also completely submerged inside the water. In her birthplace Manipur, over 70,000 people lost their homes including 30,000 children and over 300 people killed in the ongoing violence. People are paying the price for the failures of our leaders. She donated millions of dollars worth of relief items for the victims’ children and families. She raised the funds through crowdfunding. This is one of her largest humanitarian efforts.
World Peace Centre
Licypriya started building a Peace Centre in 2024 dedicated to the rich legacy of Dr Jose Ramos Horta, President of Timor Leste & Nobel Peace Prize Laureate in her birthplace Manipur, India. The centre is one of the architectural marvels, a masterpiece for many local artists and artisans who encrypted every pillar and walls reflecting the rich traditions and culture of Manipur and Timor Leste. There are Galleries reflecting the past history of Timor Leste and the life of President Horta showcasing his Nobel Prize, precious arts, the rich tradition and the cultural relics found in Timor Leste with two modern auditorium halls to provide free service to the people of Manipur to raise their voices to the world through global media. The building also provides spaces to house for international media. The centre has a specific section to provide free residential education to the armed conflict victim children of the world. This centre will be a symbol of global peace.
COVID19 pandemic
During the COVID19 pandemic, Licypriya saved the lives of over 100 people by giving oxygen. She started a global campaign called”India Needs Oxygen” mission and raised over USD 100,000 (INR 74 lakhs) within 5 days through her social media to buy oxygen concentrators to save those lives.
Survival Kit for the Future (SUKIFU 1 & 2)
Licypriya brought out a symbolic device called SUKIFU (Survival Kit for the Future) to curb the Delhi’s high air pollution crisis on 4 October 2019. SUKIFU is an almost zero budget kit designed from trash to provide fresh air to breathe when pollution is bad. This wearable plant is a recognition of the Green Movement for air pollution. Anybody can build up this concept at home from the recycling trash to instill fresh air directly into our lungs. She launched it in front of the Punjab & Haryana Legislative Assembly House as a symbol of demonstration before the oath taking ceremony of newly elected Haryana MLAs & Ministers. She draws the attention of the leaders to find urgent solution for the current crisis of air pollution in Delhi & National Capital Region. She developed the model with the support of Prof. Chandan Ghosh, professor at Indian Institute of Technology, IIT Jammu.
SUKIFU2 is a small device Licypriya invented to convert air into water. Licypriya started working on this device as a school project in 2020. This device can be used to solve the global water crisis and also it can be used at the time of floods and other dry regions like deserts to generate clean drinking water. This small device can change the whole world.
Kerala Massive Flood 2018
Licypriya donated her savings of Rupees 1,00,000 to the Chief Minister of Kerala Pinarayi Vijayan on 24 August 2018 to help the flood victim children of Kerala Massive Flood.

She felt her small contribution would help make a difference to the children during the tough time.
