CREATION OF PLASTIC BANK IN COLLABORATION WITH SDC FOUNDATION 23 AUGUST 24

The environment provides us with essential resources like clean air, water, food, and other necessities for life. It supports ecosystems that allow plants, animals, and humans to thrive. If we neglect to protect the environment, we risk harming our well-being, undermining society, and endangering countless species.

B.S. Negi Mahila Pravidhik Prashikshan Sansthan (MPPS), as an educational institution, is committed to educating students about creating a sustainable environment. In line with this mission, a workshop was organized to enlighten students on how to recycle plastic waste and contribute to environmental protection as individuals. This workshop was conducted in collaboration with the Social Development for Communities Foundation (SDC Foundation).

The SDC Foundation is an environmental action and advocacy group dedicated to protecting the fragile ecosystem of the Himalayas and promoting sustainable practices for the well-being of current and future generations. Focused on environmental conservation, their mission is to positively impact and secure a safe future for Uttarakhand and beyond.

In addition to establishing Plastic Banks, the SDC Foundation conducts numerous capacity-building workshops, awareness campaigns, clean-up drives, and rallies, particularly targeting students. These activities aim to foster a collective mindset towards reducing, reusing, and recycling plastic waste.

The workshop, held on August 23, 2024, in the auditorium of B.S. Negi MPPS, was organized with the goal of establishing a Plastic Bank at the institute. The students were highly attentive during the lecture and eagerly shared their opinions and ideas on how to further this cause. The speaker, Mr. Anoop Nautiyal demonstrated the methods of creating these plastic banks, providing a practical and engaging learning experience for all participants.Mr. Anoop Nautiyal is a well-known personality in the field of protection of the environment. A very informative, interesting and engaging workshop.
