Two PhD students from Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, have presented a sustainable plan for managing solid waste generated in the state.

They presented their idea on ‘Sustainable Circular Bioeconomic Strategy for Solid Waste Management in HP’ during the state-level Hackathon-Ideation event.

As per this strategy, the solid waste generated in the state can be thermochemically processed to produce carbon-rich products like hydrochar and biochar. These materials can be utilised as organic fertilisers, alternative energy source or filter during wastewater treatment.

O Sadish and Priyanka, who participated under the guidance of Dr Satish Kumar Bhardwaj, HOD, Department of Environmental Science, secured the second rank at the hackathon.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
