Waste Management


Solid Waste Management


  • The Institution put its maximum effort on the cleanliness aspect which is properly maintained through different ways.
  • The solid waste generated is dumped in the vat. The college sweeper and sometimes workers from the block office collect the solid waste.
  • The wet waste generated mainly from the from food/ kitchen waste of the college canteen and the dry waste generated from the office such as paper, plastics and wooden materials etc is systematically managed properly by the college.
  • The dry/wet degradable waste material is converted into compost which is used for gardening.
  • The college authority promotes for the “plastic free area” and we sincerely try our level best to address it.

Liquid Waste Management


  • Appropriate sewage system is present in all the washroom of the Mahavidyalaya. Effective steps are taken periodically so there should not be any water stagnation and also to discourage mosquito breeding.
  • Effluents from washrooms and toilets are directed to soak chambers and eventually to the drainage system.
  • Liquid waste products particularly of Bioscience laboratories and Chemistry are allowed to get disposed in a separate soak chamber.
  • Rain water drainage system is also there to prevent water logging.

Biomedical Waste Management


  • As the syllabus does not involve activities that produce biomedical waste therefore there is no biomedical waste management system in the Mahavidyalaya.

E-Waste Management


  • Even if the generation of the E-waste is very limited in the Mahavidyalaya which includes which includes electrical and electronic parts such as burned electrical bulbs, wires and computer peripherals. The materials like printer cartridges are refilled and reused. The generated E-waste is stored in a designated E-waste storage room, although a more systematic and comprehensive E-waste Management strategy is yet to be implemented.

Waste recycling System


  • Solid waste and debris generated from building construction are used for basement work of on-campus road construction.
  • The institution does not have a wastewater recycling system in place.

Hazardous chemicals and radioactive waste management


  • Majority of the departments do not generate hazardous waste. No any hazardous chemical is used in the Mahavidyalaya yet. As because the amount of hazardous waste is nil or very negligible amount, the Mahavidyalaya had not developed any facility to transport it in proper place.
