NSS IITD and Vindhyachal Hostel are working to reduce environmental impact by selecting volunteers from each hostel to promote sustainable practices. The green warriors will create awareness around issues like food waste, water waste, and electricity usage in their hostels and motivate residents to reduce wastage. They will work to eliminate wastage in areas like food, water, and electricity through various awareness activities and bringing proposed changes to hostel authorities. One of their focuses is reducing food waste in the hostel through self-dumping practices, using appropriately sized spoons, and educating residents on the environmental and financial impacts of food waste.

used in its production.
