World Earth Day Awareness Session 2023-24

As Earth Day aims to inspire and mobilize people worldwide to take meaningful actions that contribute to the health and well-being of our planet. We celebrated world Earth day with an objective to raise environmental awareness, promote sustainable practices, motivate individuals to take personal responsibility aiming at educating future generations.

Paper Bag Distribution Activity 2023-24

As a part of our continuous, sustained initiative, Paper Bag Distribution Activity was planned. Our seniors had already made the paper bags. We planned to distribute paper bags made by our seniors to vendors and promote eco-friendly packaging. We collectively participated in this activity and distributed all the paper bags to the local vendors. Vendors were very happy by receiving it for free, and we also encouraged them to reduce plastic bag usage. Everybody contributed to a great extent.

Plastic Waste Collection Drive 2023-24

During the academic year 2023-24, a Plastic waste collection drive was organized. The objective of this Plastic-waste collection drive was to raise awareness about the adverse effects of plastic pollution on the environment and human health. We encouraged community participation in waste management and recycling efforts. Plastic wastes were collected from various sources within the community transported to a designated recycling facility where it underwent sorting, cleaning, and processing. Non-recyclable plastic waste was disposed of responsibly to prevent further environmental harm.

E-Waste Collection Drive 2023-24

In continuation of the commitment towards nature earth this year too we organized an E-waste collection drive in collaboration with Thane Mahanagar Palika, teacher students collected E-waste from their family, relatives and neighbours and submitted it to college. The college in turn donated E-waste to the organisation for its eco-friendly method of disposal. We created awareness about the environmental impact of improper disposal of electronic waste and encouraged to adopt sustainable practices in handling electronic waste.

Educational Visit 2023-24

On 13th December 2023, an Educational Visit was organized to Muenzer Bharat Private Limited, an organization which collects Used Cooking Oil (UCO) and processes it into sustainable biofuel. The main objective of this visit was to increase our awareness on health issues due to improper use of cooking oil and to observe arrangements at the facility where used cooking oil is converted into sustainable biodiesel. Replacing fossil fuels with biofuels has the potential to reduce some undesirable aspects of fossil fuel production and use, including conventional and greenhouse gas (GHG) pollutants emissions, exhaustible resource depletion and dependence on foreign suppliers.

Composting Activity 2023-24

Another sustained activity which we continued was the making of organic compost. The primary objective of this initiative was to educate students about the importance of composting and its numerous benefits, aligning with the institution’s commitment to sustainable practices. The activity emphasized the significance of composting as nature’s method of recycling food and other organic wastes into valuable material that enhances soil fertility and aids in plant growth. This is an on-going activity which aims to instil an understanding of the ecological importance of composting among the students. Students were actively involved in the process and were asked to bring decomposable organic wastes such as kitchen scraps, garden residues, and other biodegradable materials on a daily basis.
