"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.
The announcement was made at an annual prize distribution function at the college attended by senior officials from the University Grants Commission (UGC).
