Drinking hot tea in plastic cups can cause diseases as deadly as cancer and to help curb this problem, Piramal Foundation and Vyapar Mandal, Jaisamand have together initiated to provide tea in Kulhad or earthen cups.

In the meeting held with Vyapar Mandal in Jaisamand, Piramal Fellow group suggested that using Kulhad instead of plastic cups can not only help save environment but also restrict causes of cancer related diseases in humans. Although a cost of single Kulhad is 80 paise as against 15 paise for a plastic cup but the damage caused by plastic is much more than the amount.

After the initiation by the Piramal Foundation, 8 vendors of Jaisamand gave order to manufacture 5000 kulhads to Kumhar Shankarlal Prajapat and Rooplal Prajapat who live at Toda.
