While pointing out the extensive use of plastic in day-to-day life, the principal highlighted the need to understand the impact of long term use of single use plastics and urged for recycling and re-use of plastic products rather than unethical disposal.

Guest of honour environmentalist Ch Joykumar highlighted that ban on single use plastics has been implemented across the country after the central government issued an order in 2022.However the same has remained ineffective in the state until last four months when the state government re-issued the order, he added.

Highlighting the penalties for defying the ban on single use plastics, Joykumar informed that offenders could face a jail term of up to 5 years or a fine upto Rs 1 lakh.
