and Production
Solid waste management:
The University has tie-ups with authorized vendors to collect garbage and paper waste from designated places. 100% usage of disposable products like paper glass helps to reduce solid waste in the campus. Students and staff members are encouraged to make the campus plastic-free. The University has placed waste bins in every area as per requirement with colour coding for e.g. green, blue and yellow. The compost pits to dump green waste, which is utilised for manure preparation and for maintaining a green campus. The wet waste is recycled along with cafeteria waste for soil manure/fertilisers after being processed in a pit. Standard operating procedure for disposal of chemical and microbial waste is in practice.
Liquid waste management:
The University has Sewage Treatment Plant of one lakh litre capacity, which is utilized for gardening. There is 100% utilization of liquid waste within the campus. Water from wash basins and hostel rooms are stored in tanks and further utilized for gardens. Low flush cistern has been installed in washrooms. Water squirting has been enabled in all taps. In view of the National Mission on Clean and Green Environment, we have taken steps for plantation inside as well as outside the campus. This activity is monitored by NSS every year. Tanks with the required storage capacity are available for rainwater harvesting.
Biomedical waste management:
Biomedical waste from university’s animal house is collected in separate bins. The University has signed a contract with authorized bio-medical waste management contractor who collects the waste from the designated place and disposes it according to bio-medical waste management rules.
E-waste management:
A Standard Operating Procedure is being followed for the management of “The Hazardous Lab & other Waste Disposal”. The e-waste generated from hardware which cannot be reused or recycled is disposed of centrally through the authorized vendors. Disposing of old, out dated and non-functioning electronic items such as monitors, computers, keyboards, mouse, power supplies, printers, batteries etc. is a major problem because such materials contain toxic chemicals and improper disposal of these items is injurious for living beings. The institute has identified certified vendors for E-waste disposal. The electronic equipment to be disposed is collected at a central store and then handed over to the concerned vendors.
Waste recycling system:
Faculty and staff members participate in the recycling effort by following the principle of separation of recyclable and non-recyclable materials and placing them in appropriately marked recycling bins. Students are motivated to participate in campus recycling efforts.
