Visit to "Plastic Vikalp Mela"

Students and faculties of SGTBIMIT attended the three-day mega fair 'Plastic Vikalp Mela' that was organized by *Eco Club, Delhi Government* from July 1 to July 3, 2022 at the Thyagaraj Stadium to promote alternatives of single-use plastic. As single-use plastic is banned in India starting July 1, 2022, people must move towards its alternatives. In light of this, grand initiative was taken by the Delhi Government.

Sh. Gopal Rai, Environment Minister, Government of Delhi, inaugurated the event and promoted the government's initiative to curb pollution in India. He further talked about the idea behind a three-day mega fair, that is, promoting alternatives to single-use plastic.Our students too thronged various stalls exhibiting products made from recycled waste materials such as plastic wrappers and paper with great enthusiasm. It was a great learning experience for the staff and students.
