Solan Sept 3

The Environment, Ecology and Health Club, a branch of the JUIT Youth Club (JYC) at Jaypee University of Information Technology in Waknaghat, Solan, H.P., is currently marking Swacchata Pakhwada from September 1st to September 15th. On the inaugural day, a dedicated team of 25 students and faculty members initiated a plastic waste removal campaign near the university market. This campaign aimed to raise awareness among shopkeepers and the public about the detrimental impact of plastic on the environment, as well as strategies for segregation and recycling. The campaign was expertly coordinated by Dr. Poonam Sharma and Dr. Ashok Kumar Nadda, both faculty members from the Department of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics at JUIT, alongside student coordinators Ms. Shruti Shree and Mr. Divyansh Goel. Faculty members shared insights on various techniques to minimize plastic waste and promote the recycling and reusing of plastic generated on a daily basis. Additionally, numerous other activities are planned to further promote cleanliness and underscore its significance in the upcoming days.
