Perturbed over alarming rise of e-waste burden in the various cities, skilled professionals of Government ITI Brahmapur have decided to instal the tallest e-waste sculpture of the world to share the concern for e-waste pollution of the world community, said Principal of the institute Dr Rajat Kumar Panigrahi. “The team ITI, Brahmapur believes that the e-waste sculpture would help generate awareness among the general public who are concerned for environment.
We have already set up the largest e-scrap park which is largest in Asia as per Asia Book of Records,” Dr Panigrahi pointed out. To warn the world community regarding the amount of e-waste generated, the ITI is developing the tallest sculpture to draw attention of the entire globe. As a token of contribution to environment by the institute, the Government of Odisha and Department of Environment and Forests have felicitated the ITI and awarded it with thr “Prakruti Bandhu” and “Prakruti Mitra” on March 2019.
The 29-foot tallest sculpture is fabricated at the ITI’s campus and the e-waste collected from the Brahmapur city is being used for the purpose which has been estimated to consume more than 3 tone wastes to give final shape, Dr Panigrahi said.
The students from Electrician and Instrument Mechanic under the guidance of their respective trade teachers have developed the sculpture, Dr Panigrahi informed.
