A workshop on waste management and sustainability was held at Vignan Institute of Information Technology (VIIT) by the Green Technology Club of the college in association with the Green Face Environmental Society on Saturday.
The college is aiming to achieve near zero waste generation on its Duvvada campus by careful waste management techniques such as waste reduction at source, segregation, compost of wet-waste and recycling of dry-waste.
The Centre for Innovation of the college is planning to train students to adapt to eco-friendly lifestyles and effective waste management techniques to promote them as a role model in society who can influence their own homes as well as friends and surroundings.
During the workshop principal Challa Narsimham said Vignan wants more and more students to enter in to the Green Technology Club activities and innovate technologies to care for environment.
The founders of the Green Face Environmental Society, Ratna Latha and Lakshmi Priya were the key speakers at the workshop who highlighted the best waste management practices. With the support of Green Face, Vignan has started a composting trial in their campus premises.
