This nationwide electronic-waste (e-waste) awareness drive recognizes Amity University Jharkhand as an ‘Eco-Conscious Champion Institute’ under the programme. As part of the first leg, OPPO India and AICTE promoted green skills among youth by offering internships across colleges in India. Over 9,000 students from over 1,400 institutions applied for these internships, and 5,000 were selected. The second leg educates youth about the increasing challenge of electronic waste management, including disposing discarded wires, mobile phones, chargers, and batteries, to ensure a sustainable future.

The ceremony at Amity University Jharkhand was graced by Dr Ashok Kumar Srivastava, Vice-Chancellor of Amity University Jharkhand, Shri Yatinder Kumar Das, IFS, Additional PCCF, Van Bhawan as the Chief Guest.
