2 (I²IT) Hope Foundation s International Institute of Information Technology P-14 Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, Phase-1, Hinjawadi, Pune Waste Management steps including: This initiative was taken in view of the National mission on Clean and Green Environment followed by Swatch Bharat Abhiyan, Plastic ban, Dry and Wet waste garbage separation, Rain water harvesting, Controlled water use, Recycling of used water, Paper shredding to make art paper, E-waste and so on so forth. As an Institute we take steps in whatever small way we can to support the global cause by initiating few but concrete steps towards the goals. a) Solid Waste Management: Solid waste is collected from hostel rooms each morning by housekeeping staff in separate containers and assembled at the waste yard marked as Garbage Collection Pit at extreme end of the campus. Here the dry waste including paper/plastics etc. is segregated and sent in vans to recyclable joints and/or PMC collection centres. Separate garbage collection bins are kept for dry/ recyclable waste in laboratories, library, classrooms etc. The wet waste is recycled along with Cafeteria waste for soil manure/fertilizers after processing the same in a pit created for such purpose. This manure is used in our own garden for vegetation and garden proceeds/vegetables are made available to all staff members. Plastic ban: Notices are displayed in campus to refrain from use of plastics. In addition security is alerted to stop plastics entry on campus in any form. Cafeteria, Hostel rooms are monitored for all such usage and an attempt is made to completely eradicate any form of plastic on campus. Paper bags are encouraged for use by students and staff members.

During summer time, water in hostel rooms is restricted for 3 Hrs. in the morning and 3 Hrs. in the evening. Also hot water is stored in overhead tanks and supplied to hostel rooms and an initiative is taken to restrict hot water from 6 AM to 9 AM each morning for bathing, thus reducing wastage of hot water. Recycling of water:- Water from wash basin /bathrooms of hostel rooms is stored in two water tanks which is used for gardens, landscaping and vegetation keeping the campus green at all times of the year.

4 (I²IT) Hope Foundation s International Institute of Information Technology P-14 Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, Phase-1, Hinjawadi, Pune c) E-waste Management: Storage of waste water for gardening purpose Disposing of old, out dated and non-working electronic items such as monitors, computers, keyboards, mouse, power supplies, printers, batteries etc. is a big problem because these material contains some kind of hazardous materials like lithium, lead, zinc etc. and improper disposal of these items is harmful for living beings. The institute has identified certified vendors for E-waste disposal. The electronic equipment that needs to be disposed is collected at a central store and then handed over to the certified vendors. We get certificate from the vendor ensuring that the E- waste will be disposed as per prevailing norms without harming the environment. I 2 IT/NAAC-2018/Criteria-7/
