At which institute was a life-size rhinoceros model built from circuit boards during Special Campaign 6?

  1. A.CFMTTI, Budni
  2. B.MANAGE, Hyderabad
  3. C.NRFMTTI, Hisar
  4. D.NERFMTTI, Biswanath Chariali

Correct answer

D. NERFMTTI, Biswanath Chariali

Explanation

The correct answer is NERFMTTI, Biswanath Chariali, the North Eastern Region Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institute in Assam. The rhinoceros was an apt choice of subject for an Assam institute, since the one-horned rhinoceros is the state's best known wildlife emblem, and the model was assembled entirely from discarded circuit boards. The other three institutes named in options A, B and C, that is CFMTTI at Budni, MANAGE at Hyderabad and NRFMTTI at Hisar, also displayed waste-to-wealth exhibits during the drive, among them working models of sea boats and tractors made from scrap machinery, but the rhinoceros belongs to the Assam institute. Such exhibits were meant to show that electronic waste has value if it is sorted rather than thrown away. The department disposed of 3,733 e-waste articles in all.
