Members of the Green club and the teaching faculty of Environment and Sustainability planned this event to instill the value of reusing items among students to create lovely crafts. On Saturday, August 8, 2026, they gave a presentation because, in their own words, "Recycling things is like magic that turns ordinary things into extraordinary." Getting the most innovative and beautiful things out of materials we no longer need is known as "getting the best out of waste." Students created wall hangings and a showpiece by using waste plastic material. They also prepared usable items, including a pen stand, a sand clock, toys, table lamp and a cotton bag by using domestic waste material. It was humorous to observe the students' inventiveness. Our future leaders were encouraged to think creatively by participating in the exhibition cum competition.
