<span style="font-size:larger;">There are a few instances to say that our students are more oriented towards innovation.</span>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">'''Green technology concepts "wealth from waste" '''is one of the best task initiated at UCEN. Generally, in '''Chemistry Laboratory, '''we discharge out '''acids and bases "A neutralization tank" '''was constructed behind the Chemistry Laboratory to collect the effluents from the laboratory, an initiative probably the first in the country. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">[[File:Neutralisationtank.jpg]]</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">Ours is a newly established college so there is a problem for '''basic infrastructural facilities'''. Our students have come up with a wonderful solution to use '''waste water bottles '''which are available in and around campus to develop seating benches. The bottles are filled with '''construction waste''' and they are used in the place of bricks as construction units which greatly reduces the construction cost and encourages the use of waste in construction. </span><span style="font-size: 14.4px;">As it is said that we can produce </span>'''"WEALTH FROM WASTE, DOLLAR FROM DUNG, MONEY FROM MUD."'''</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'''[[File:Principalsir.jpg]]'''</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">[[File:Bottlebench.jpg]]</span></p>
