In a initiative to save environment, Delhi University's Kalindi college has banned sale of plastic water bottles inside the campus.
"Every human being has a responsibility towards the environment. Keeping this in mind, we have decided to ban the sale of plastic water bottles in the college starting today," college principal Anulya Maurya said in a statement.
"We will discover alternative methods for water storage and consumption. For now we have started using earthern pots. Kalindi is the first DU college to introduce this kind of a ban," she added.

Over 3,500 students are enrolled in various undergraduate courses offered by the women's college located in Central Delhi.
