Bhavan’s Tripura Vidyamandir has developed an innovative eco-friendly water product known as 'Jalabal' (locally referred to as 'Jadui-Neer'), presenting a sustainable and biodegradable alternative to traditional single-use plastic water bottles.

The initiative aims to combine real-world scientific application with environmental responsibility. Jalabal features a biodegradable and edible membrane that encapsulates water, making it suitable for direct consumption without packaging waste. This environmentally conscious design helps significantly reduce plastic pollution while offering an engaging, science-based learning experience for students.

Lightweight and hassle-free, Jalabal is particularly useful in sports environments where athletes require quick hydration without generating heaps of plastic waste. Beyond convenience, the innovation highlights how scientific principles can be applied to address everyday challenges and contribute to a greener future.

By encouraging hands-on experimentation, Jalabal fosters curiosity among students while promoting sustainable practices and demonstrating how eco-innovation can shape a cleaner world.
