Swachhata Hi Seva

Universities, Institutes and Colleges in India are requested by the University Grants
commission to actively participate in the “Swachhata Hi Seva campaign” launched by the

Government of India. The objective is to achieve a distinctly higher level of sanitation in our

environment and reduce the use of non-recyclable elements. VIT adopts eco-friendly and green

initiatives to promote sustainable practices in its lush and verdant campus. A few remarkable
efforts include energy conservation, water conservation, vermicomposting from leaf litter and

waste water recycling. We conducted many contests pertaining to the scheme for the third
th
th
consecutive year between the 18 and 25 of October, 2019 to inculcate healthy practices among
students and to make them realize the importance of keeping our environment clean.

Students registered and participated in events with great

enthusiasm. Further, the best three clean rooms in each block were

selected, and 49 students were appreciated for their ideas on the

maintenance of cleanliness.
