First-year B.Tech students demonstrated remarkable creativity and environmental consciousness during the "Create Art for the Earth" recycling crafts activity, conducted as part of the Student Induction Programme 2025 on 24 th , 28 th & 29 th July 2025. The sustainability-focused initiative saw enthusiastic participation from all new engineering students, who transformed discarded materials into innovative artistic creations and functional items. Under the guidance of faculty mentors, students crafted everything from decorative sculptures using plastic bottles and cardboard to functional organizers made from newspaper and tin cans, showcasing their ingenuity while learning valuable lessons about waste reduction and circular economy principles. The activity not only fostered creativity and teamwork among the new batch but also instilled a deep appreciation for sustainable practices, setting a strong foundation for environmentally responsible engineering practices throughout their academic journey and future careers.
