WASTE MANAGEMENT

In consonance with the institutional principle of green protocol, the college should maintain a very strict and eco-friendly waste management mechanism.

1. The college admits its environmental responsibilities and recognises its obligations to contribute to the resolution of global and local environmental issues by minimising its environmental impact.
2. The entire stake holders are directed to take the ethical responsibility in reducing individual waste generation based on the waste management motto of the college: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
3. The policy binds all the institutional activities to the dual principles of plastic reduction and lowest waste generation.
4. Innovative and practical measures for waste management introduced by various departments of the government, and scientific agencies should be implemented in the campus after making studies on its plausibility.
5. Communicate the waste management policy of the college with staff, students, and other stakeholders in the campus to ensure all are aware of the waste management strategy followed by the college.
6. Identify and enable the reuse of waste items wherever feasible, either internally or in association with third parties.
7. Onsite treatment options such as composting, bio-manure, etc. should be used in the campus.
