Student teachers at PCER, made paper bags out of old magazines or old newspapers. These bags are then stamped with environment friendly message and distributed to few vendors in the Khanda Colony market area. These vendors use these bags for selling sprouts, masala and other items like dried fish. At the moment, we have focussed only on few vendors but we plan to widen the area of this activity. The bags are sent to the vendors on a regular basis and students are asked to interact with them to find out their specific needs, if any. This initiative has been well received so far and we plan to continue with it. Both our first and second year students are involved in this community work.
