The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has issued clear instructions to all schools across the country to carry out campaigns for the ban on single-use of plastics.

In a circular, MHRD has directed all schools to avoid single-use plastic, both within and outside their premises. The schools have been asked to involve students studying in class 6 to 12 in the activities and campaigns in this regard.

Each state has been asked to share the activities taken place on plastic waste-free campus with the ministry.
