Bio-consortium for Vermicomposting using the fallen leaves in Visva-Bharati Campus Visva-Bharati has started to convert collected leaf litter and organic waste from Santiniketan and Sriniketan campuses into vermicompost as green initiative. This eco-friendly practice reduces pollution, enhances campus cleanliness, and generates sustainable resources, promoting environmental responsibility and supporting a cleaner, greener campus ecosystem. The objectives of this initiative are to develop a scientific system for converting fallen leaves into high-quality vermicompost using earthworms and microbes; isolate and multiply effective microbial strains; assess carbon credit and greenhouse gas reduction; evaluate ecosystem benefits; analyze economic viability for commercialization and employment; and create a sustainable, replicable waste-to-resource model. | |
