New dimensions in research on plastic waste management are set to be established, while on the other hand, social issues will be addressed by recycling plastic waste. In the coming days, research scholars from Kurukshetra University will conduct research on the topic of 'Plastic Waste to Wealth.' Along with this, teachers and researchers from both universities will exchange knowledge on new research possibilities.

A spokesperson from the university provided information in this regard, stating that today, in the Kurukshetra University campus, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Kumaun University Nainital (KUN) and the Physics Department of Kurukshetra University. The MoU falls under the project of the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change, focusing on Waste to Wealth through Plastic Recycling Management.

The spokesperson mentioned that plastic waste is currently one of the biggest social problems. This MoU will open up new avenues for solving this issue. He also stated that the MoU will create new research possibilities in the field of Plastic Waste to Wealth, leading to the availability of materials for civil engineering, energy storage, medicine, water purification, and road construction.

Under this MoU, the teaching, academic, research, and laboratory facilities available at both universities will be shared by faculty and students. He further added that, as per the MoU, selected students from both Kurukshetra University and Kumaun University Nainital will be provided with training and internship opportunities.
