As part of the SHS awareness campaign all the employees of the IITM were requested to replace single use plastic like PET bottles, cups, folders, artificial flowers and other plastic materials by suitable alternatives.
During the campaign a plastic collection drive was organised at various places like Aundh Hospital, Pune-Bangalore Highway, Pashan Hill, Pashan Lake and educational Institutes like schools and colleges. IITM employees volunteered with a maximum number to make the campaign a big success.
