Self Study Report of DR. M.G.R. EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE

segregate the different waste like solid, biomedical, etc. There are committees that deal with the
minimization of waste. Every day the waste is collected in bins and disposed to a place where it can
be converted into manure.
In addition to this the university has organized many workshops on the implementation of these
techniques effectively. Training programmes are conducted from time to time about the
methodology of disposing the waste. It was stressed that we should avoid plastic items to the best
possible capacity. Moreover, there is the connection with the manufacturers of plastic recycling to
ensure the wastage is recycled. It is also advised that the university should use utensils made of
glass and metal.
For solid waste management different bins have been placed at different departments. This ensures
that solid waste segregated at the source. It is also ensured that the recycling of all these
components is done in minimum cost and labour. Suitable techniques are applied for disposing of
solid waste. The garbage generated is preferably treated at the site of generation.
For biomedical waste there is a classification of the waste in hazardous and non-hazardous or
infectious and other hazardous. Since, university has a primary health center, therefore, the waste
like plastic disposables, liquid waste and other things are again segregated then collected and kept
in a storage then transported and finally sent for the treatment of the disposal.
The Institution is environment friendly and does not generate hazardous liquid or other chemical or
radioactive waste of any manner.
For the personal protection it has been advised to use masks while handling the waste. Moreover,
wearing head gears, eye covers, apron, gloves and boots as they help in fighting the transmission of
infection. It is also advised to immunize against Hepatitis B for necessary precautions.
The university has organized Swach Bharat Mission. Under this banner the utility of recycling the
solid and biomedical waste has been elaborated. People from different aspects of life delivered their
talks about the proper usage of waste.
Waste recycling involves the collection of waste materials and segregation of the waste material.
The university has set up a recycling programme to meet the need of recycling the waste. The
university is trying to get in touch with the top level administration and their support to ensure that
the waste is properly recycled. An overview is done every week to identify where the recyclable
materials are generated in order to place the bins for recycling. Moreover, the university is also
looking for the possible substitutes to deduce the waste to the best possible extent. Hence, our
university is determined to provide all possible facilities to deal with the degradable and non-
degradable waste.
