The Jalpaiguri district administration felicitated students and schools for their outstanding contribution in a two-day plastic waste collection campaign aimed at protecting the environment. The initiative, held on 2 and 3 July, witnessed enthusiastic participation from students across government and private schools, SSK/MSK institutions, and madrasas under the slogan: “Plastic Dao, Paribesh Bachao Aar Purashkar Nao” (Give plastic, save environment and win prizes).

In total, students collected an impressive 25.1 tonnes (25,100 kg) of plastic waste across the district.
