Puri: Hope is Life, a social organisation, organised a cleaning drive on the campus of Shri Jagannath Sanskrit Vishvavidayalaya (SJSV) in here, Sunday. They also organised a ‘No to Polythene’ programme.
The organisation, which has extended its support to the plastic-free campaign launched by Orissa POST and Dharitri, along with NSS volunteers and hundreds of students of the varsity, conducted a cleaning drive across the varsity and created awareness for a plastic-free campus.
Addressing the programme, PG council chairman, Prof Harihar Hota, said that the use of plastic and polythene bags was one of the major sources of pollution in the county. It is also destroying the biodiversity. “We are emphasising to transform our premises into green campus, for which the students have to play an important role,” he added.
