Proactive measures are taken on World’s Environment Day:
DU students have opted for fieldwork and not just limited themselves to digital protests and sensitizations. Thus, subscribing to Greta Thunberg’s channel and organizing online protests is not an agenda anymore. Proactive measures like Project Srijan and several other cleanings, as well as plantation drives, are being held.
Initiatives by Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business (SSCBS) on World’s Environment Day:
Students from SSCBS have launched an agenda to work on the elimination of electronic waste. During the pandemic and the subsequent digitalization of the country, more e-waste is produced. Thus, the student will place customized e-bins at targeted areas. Hence, people can easily dispose of e-wastes like wires, gadgets, etc here.
Tanmay Bhateja, a first-year SSCBS student says that their team consists of 50 students. Thus, this team is working hard on this World’s Environment Day to sensitize the mass on disposing of e-waste in the right manner. So, they will celebrate their achievements by connecting digitally and do fieldwork in Delhi-NCR.
