Rain Water Harveting
On July 3rd, the club observed “Anti Plastics Day” by clearing a pit located in the campus. The BMC representatives decided to maintain this pit for rain water harvesting. By this initiative, water could be stored and also diverted to artificial recharge system.
Solid Waste Management
With the slogan “Charity begins at Home”, the BMC representatives spread awareness among the students of the college on the need for solid waste management. They demon- strated to the students how to segregate green and plastic wastes. The representatives had an opportunity to visit Mr. K.V. Deyal home where he demonstrated a unique way of converting food wastes to organic manure.
Two bio compost units were set up at the college premises to manage the food waste.
