Bag-loads of Eco-consciousness
It is hard not to miss the messages and detrimental outcomes of environmental pollution and its toll on human health and the planet. Green measures are practiced daily – right from using discarded firewood for cooking, to using ash for cleaning utensils and growing some of our own food for the midday meal. As part of the Social Awareness Program, four students Arpit Zambre, Sanket Kewale, Jyoti Vishwkarma, Sanket Sheware of the third year of AISSMS College of Engineering Computer Engineering Department wanted to make their community aware about the ill effects of using plastic.
They went a step further and made paper bags out of old newspapers and envelopes. They then went to some nearby villages to distribute the bags. They explained how plastic causes contamination, is non-biodegradable and causes harm. They urged and motivated the villagers to switch to using paper bags. Their forthrightness and a social message were appreciated by the villagers and now they are proactively trying to significantly reduce the use of plastic.

Thinking outside the box
At AISSMS College of Engineering, students have demonstrated their ability to take their education and apply it in solving day to day problems. For instance, one of the students’ bike keys fell into the water hole while parking bike in the college parking. Several students attempted to retrieve the key with their hands but since the hole was too narrow, they were unsuccessful.
However, Sanket, a third-year TE computer student had a novel idea. He brought a magnet tied with a shoelace and inserted it into the hole. As the magnet easily attracted the key in the hole, the key also made its way out along with the magnet. Sanket demonstrated his ability to think outside the box. Through critical thinking and abstract reasoning, he was able to save the day and the students could continue their game of cricket. Sanket saved the time and effort by thinking outside the box.
