Guess! What lacked a lot in MIT when it comes to environment? I can say it was dustbins, whenever I walked down the campus with a wrapper or something with me, had to throw it at the corner. To clean up the mess only a few bins were provided in front of boys hostel, that too we of very small size which could hardly be used. I remember lots of time when throwing wrappers or polybags on roadside was the only option.
Coming to this new semester, when we can notice is the vast availability of dustbins at every 100m or less. This time these bins are of a large size and really look like *DUSTBINS* unlike the former. MIT is paying a lot of attention at the environment I guess. Some of its plans are quite difficult to implement, like “No Polybags” campaign. Unless people and shopkeepers collectively reach to a consensus, containing this environment hazard is quite a tough job. College is also spending a lot of money in developing gardens and greenery. Finally just placing dustbins at regular intervals is not adequate unless we people learn something called “Civic Sense”

As no of students are growing year by year, disposal of waste is really becoming a great problem, atleast first they are concentrating on the collection, disposal of waste comes after collection.

You MIC people are very active at these works, means journalism and mass awareness works. We MITians first need time out of our hectic schedule of useless works.

It would be better if you give more recommendations to MU to improve the conditions of facilities in the campus. Am not saying that its less, but it can be improved if MU is really sincere.
Do you advertise on TV? I never read any recommendations even on Article 19 when I was in 1st year.
