jaspreetsingh@barusahib.orgWhat if the waste we throw away every day could actually help heal the planet? That’s exactly what AEC-2 (Environmental Sciences-2) students from Eternal University discovered during their enlightening visit to the Solid Waste Management Unit under the guidance of Dr. Rakesh Joshi.
This visit was not just an academic exercise—it was an eye-opener. Students saw firsthand how discarded materials can be given new life through systematic sorting, recycling, and responsible disposal.
Learning from Nature – Sustainable Practices in Action
At the Akal Waste Management Unit, Baru Sahib, students observed how waste segregation and processing take place—from disinfecting and sorting to recycling paper, plastic, and food waste.
What truly amazed them was how innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. The unit doesn’t just manage waste—it transforms it into useful products, setting a remarkable example of environmental responsibility in rural Himachal Pradesh.
Lana Bhalta – A Model Village of Clean Living
Thanks to this initiative by The Kalgidhar Society, the Lana Bhalta village near Baru Sahib has emerged as one of the cleanest villages in Himachal Pradesh. The “waste to wealth” approach is not only improving cleanliness but also promoting local employment and awareness about waste segregation.
Empowering Students to Think Green
For Eternal University students, this visit was more than just a field trip—it was a wake-up call. They returned inspired to adopt eco-friendly habits in their daily lives, understanding that sustainable change begins with individual responsibility.
At Eternal University, education goes beyond textbooks. Students learn to think critically, act responsibly, and contribute meaningfully toward a sustainable future.
Shaping Tomorrow, One Step at a Time
As these young eco-warriors return to campus, they carry with them a renewed commitment—to reduce, reuse, recycle, and inspire others to do the same. Because true education doesn’t just fill minds; it fuels change.
So, the next time you throw something away, pause and think—could your trash help change the world?
