What if the plastic waste we throw away every day — bottles, wrappers, bags — could actually help us build something better?

In this inspiring episode of Campus Conversations by the Literary Club of Geethanjali College of Engineering and Technology, we explore the extraordinary story of Padma Shri Dr. Rajagopalan Vasudevan, the "Plastic Man of India," who turned one of our biggest environmental threats into a groundbreaking solution: plastic roads.

Hosted by Manikanta, with an engaging narrative by Sumaia and Keerthi Hasini, this episode takes you through:

• How plastic waste is transformed into durable, eco-friendly roads
• Why cities like Hyderabad could benefit massively from this innovation
• The national impact — over 1 lakh kilometres of roads built using this technique
• Real stories of Indian innovators like Byju Raveendran and Falguni Nayar
• How simple ideas can become powerful solutions when driven by purpose

This isn't just an episode about science or engineering—
It's about looking at the world differently, asking better questions, and believing that innovation can start anywhere… even with a discarded chips packet.

Join us as we uncover how an idea born in a small laboratory in Madurai is now paving the future of India's roads — and maybe inspiring the next big idea inside you.

Tune in, get inspired, and discover the power of turning problems into possibilities.
