Paper pens made by BUDS School Students made compulsory for the staff of Kannur Collectorate. Shri. T.V Subhash IAS, District Collector inaugurated the function on 1 August 2019. Paper pens were made compulsory to the staff of Kannur Civil Station to avoid the hazards of pollution caused due to the throwing away of used plastic pens. The needed pen would be made by the students of the BUDS institutions functioning under Kudumbashree Kannur District Mission.
The paper pens would be sold through the nano market allotted for Kudumbashree at Government Servants Consumer Society. In addition to this, it is also planned to sell the paper pens through the milma booth at the premises of Civil Station Annexe. To control the plastic use in civil station premises, paper bags, cloth bags, umbrellas, paper files etc made by the students of the BUDS institutions are brought for sale there. The decision to make the paper pens made by the BUDS school students compulsory at civil station premises is indeed an act towards social responsibility.
