CUJ Professor Awarded Grant for Fish Waste Research Project
Imagine taking fish scales, which are usually thrown away, and turning them into something super useful!
A professor at Central University of Jharkhand, Dr. Dey, is doing just that.
He got money to create a special way to clean dirty water using fish scales.
Jharkhand has lots of fish and a lot of waste, so this project can help both.
The new method will use discarded fish scales to make materials that can clean water really fast.
This could lead to companies working together and giving young people jobs.
CUJ professor Soumen Dey awarded ₹5.68 lakh research project.
Project aims to purify wastewater using fish scale waste.
Focus is on Jharkhand and aligns with 'waste to wealth' approach.
The project could lead to industrial collaborations and jobs.
CUJ is actively expanding its research efforts.
