Carbon Footprint

At Govt. Polytechnic, Rajpur, we believe in shaping not just bright minds, but also responsible citizens who are aware of their impact on the environment.

A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases—primarily carbon dioxide (CO₂)—that are released into the atmosphere as a result of our activities. These emissions can come from daily actions like:

• Driving or commuting by vehicles
• Using electricity and appliances
• Consuming food (especially meat and packaged goods)
• Manufacturing, construction, and other industrial processes
• Burning fossil fuels for heating or energy
