07 Nov 2024 CW Team

The Banaras Hindu University (BHU) launched a transformative door-to-door garbage collection drive coordinated by the Sanitary and Support Services (SSS) unit of the university. This significant initiative aims to efficiently manage solid waste across all residential areas, hostels, and academic or administrative buildings within the University, aligning with the principles of ‘Swabhav Swachhata - Sanskar Swachhata'. BHU vice chancellor, Prof Sudhir K Jain, said, "Our efforts towards cleanliness not only enhance our campus but also reflect our values." He further highlighted the role of universities as the cornerstone of a unified society, where education transcends boundaries and fosters a spirit of collective responsibility. The door-to-door waste collection drive promotes systematic waste segregation at the source, encouraging all the residents and heads of the offices to use three designated bins: green for biodegradable waste (including food and vegetable waste for composting), blue for non-biodegradable materials (such as polythene, plastic, and glass), and red for hazardous waste (including sprays, paints, electronic waste, pesticides, syringes, medicines, and sanitary napkins). This approach fosters responsible waste disposal practices among community members, ensuring proper segregation and management.
