BEST PRACTICE:1

Title of the Practice – Shun Plastic Campaign

Goal

The purpose of this campaign among students is to create awareness among them regarding hazards of overuse of plastic items. The youth is always vulnerable and easy to mould if properly handled. It is necessary that they are systematically sensitized towards burning problems that the nation is facing in present times. The hazards of overuse of plastic have created havoc in the country. If we are able to use alternatives of plastic, we can save our nation from getting ruined.

The Context

Today people from all walks of life use plastic bags mainly because of their easy availability and convenience. Their use is so widespread that it is a wonder as to how people ever managed to do anything without them. There are a variety of bags available and they are put to different uses. The grocer packs most of the foods, grains, vegetables, fruits etc into clean transparent plastic bags, which keep the food in hygienic condition and even adds a touch of glitter to them. Apart from making it convenient for the consumer to buy them, these pre-weighed and clean packages help in saving time and energy for the buyer. Other items like clothes, toys, shoes, electric items, magazines are all pre-packed in plastic bags before being sold. However, its uncontrolled use leads to more problems than it solves. The most commonly known and accepted argument against plastic is that it is non-biodegradable, because of which it pollutes the natural environment and poses a risk to living organisms. But, while this is true, plastics are also known to have a harmful effect on individual health.

The Practice

The students are sensitized against crucial issue overuse of plastic in their routine life. They are guided by the professors of Biology by means of Power point presentation that consists of photographs, images and slides related to water conservation and hazards of plastic. The students are motivated to discourage the use of plastic bags in their day to day life and choose other alternatives in place of plastics.

The plastics that we bring home from are either thrown in garbage bins or left around, from where these bags fly away with the wind, destroying the beauty of nature and destroying the beauty of man-made structures in towns and cities. These plastic bags can be seen dangling from trees, electric wires, poles, balconies of houses and at times get stuck in corners and race along with the vehicles on the road but wherever they land, they create an eyesore. This wonder material of the 20th century has invaded every aspect of our lives; it is all over the place messing up the streets and parks, clogging up the drains and gutters. The Plastic bags also become cause of accidents as they are stuck on the face of the person on the running vehicles.


The students are shown the pictures of several accidents occurred due to flying plastic bags. They are explained the hazards of using plastic. In the programmes organized by the college, the students are encouraged to take an oath that they will minimize the use of plastic in their lives.

The college organizes painting competition every year on the themes of ‘Save Water, Save Life’ and ‘Shun Plastic, Save Environment’. Students participate in large number in the competition. The judges, after intense scrutiny declare three prizes for the competition. The paintings of the winners are displayed on the notice board and they are awarded prizes at the Annual function of the college.

Evidence of Success

The students of the college have realized the disadvantages of the use of plastic. They have understood that the change cannot come overnight in the society. If we expect a change, first we have to change ourselves. As it is rightly said ‘Charity begins at home’. We can change the world if we set example to others. Our students not only avoid using plastic themselves, but tell others in the society to shun it. They explain practically the plastic bags causing blockage in the drainage and the sewerage system causing waterlogging, germination of bacterial and water borne diseases and spread of mosquitoes. Only one piece of plastic is enough to block a drain causing water logging which in turn becomes a breeding ground for bacteria that cause about 80 diseases by water borne germs.

The college has more than 4000 students studying in various programmes every year. If such a huge number of students can give a second thought before using plastic, then the goal of saving the environment from getting polluted is served to a considerable extent.

Problems encountered and Resources required

The students were so much used to plastic material that it was a herculean task to convince them that they should shun it totally. They had seen in the home front that their family members carried lunch boxes made up of plastic to offices. Their mothers used these bags to carry edible items from market to their homes. The milk and bread are packed in plastic bags. Deep freezers are stocked with food stored in plastic bags. Even ice trays kept in fridge are made up of plastic. The potato wafers, the students are so fond of are sold in plastic bags. All these things are so very normal in every house hold that initially it was brain splitting task explaining the students that plastic is nothing but slow poison and its extensive use can cause even Cancer. But repeated lectures and displaying of research articles on the notice boards condemning the use of plastics turned out to be eye openers for the students. The students promised to adopt the idea of shunning plastic as much as possible.


ANNEXURE (iv)

BEST PRACTICE: 2

Title of the Practice – Project undertaken by NSS

Goal

To inculcate in students an Aptitude for community services. The Motto of NSS "Not Me But You", reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for self-less service. NSS helps the students develop appreciation to other person's point of view and also show consideration to '/other living beings. The philosophy of the NSS is well doctrined in this motto, which underlines/on the belief that the welfare .of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of the society on the whole and therefore, the NSS volunteers shall strive for the well-being of the society.

The Context

The institution always lay stress on the development of the complete personality of the students. With this motto in mind the NSS unit of the institution works in the area of village upliftment, Adult Literacy, cleanliness and hygiene tec. The environment is also one of the areas in which the NSS works.

The Practice

Under the able stewardship of Prof. Dr. Ashok Patel and Prof, Dr. Suryakant Sagar and active cooperation from the Prin. Dr. D.R.Patel and staff members, the NSS unit of the institution does a commendable job with a lot of social works, visits, competitions and students’ training Programmes.

Evidence of Success

The annual NSS camp by the unit this year was conducted at Palavasana Village, Ta.Mehsana Dist. Mehsana. This year also more than 75 NSS volunteers participated in the camp. In the one week camp with the involvement and cooperation of village people, many activities like rallies for cleanliness, health checkup camp, slogan writing, awareness of literacy through street plays etc took place.

Problems encountered and Resources required

1. Being the residents of urban areas, some of the students did not want to join the camp voluntarily, they had to be persuaded.

2. Some of the people of the village who reside in the city, did not show their enthusiasm to visit the camp in this village.

3. The amount of Rs. 49 per student given by the university for seven days is also very less, creating financial load on the programme in charge.
