Delhi University is checking its constituent colleges to find which one has adopted the best practices for maintaining a green and clean campus. After the evaluation, the winning college will be awarded Centenary Cup, which has been included this year. 

The award will be bestowed tomorrow; i.e. March 2 at the 65th Annual Flower Show at Gautam Buddha Centenary Garden, at the University's North Campus. Delhi University has also come up with a plan to utilise India's G20 presidency for the "internationalisation of Indian education" through student exchange programmes and agreements with foreign varsities and institutions.

University officials are visiting the college to assess the green practices they have adopted. "The colleges are being judged on the parameters such as waste recycling, composting, plastic-free awareness programmes, optimized consumption of water which includes rain-water harvesting, sewage treatment plants and solar energy installations, and waste-to-energy plants," the official said.

"This will give a push to the college to go green and reduce carbon footprint, promoting the G20 summit's motto of 'One Earth, One Family'," the official added. During the Annual flower show, the on-the-spot photography competition on the theme 'Colors of Spring' will be held.The university will also give the best mali award and has asked every college to send one entry.
