MLP Collection Drive
Dr. Seema Das organized an MLP drive in college to collect Multi-Layered Packaging waste on 29 August 2019 and 27 November 2019. She was assisted by 15 students across the different faculties in college. This also included an MLP art installation by members of the Safai Bank on 30 September 2019. Students and faculty were encouraged to bring MLP waste from their homes and neighbourhood for proper disposal by the NGO Safai Bank of India, that sends it to appropriate agencies to be used in the construction of roads across the country.
Installation of Grey Water Treatment Plant
Greywater Treatment and Recycling Plant based on Electrocoagulation was installed and a successful pilot run was performed on 28 November 2019. Grey water from the Boys' Hostel in College is being treated and reused in the toilet flushes, saving up on copious amounts of clean water.
