Answer:
Dr. Rajagopalan Vasudevan is an Indian scientist working mainly in waste management. Currently a professor in Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Dr. Vasudevan has developed an innovative method to reuse plastic waste to construct better, more durable and very cost-effective roads. Vasudevan’s patented process involves drying and shredding discarded plastic packaging, thinner than 80 microns-made essentially of polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene-into 2 mm to 4 mm pieces. When sprinkled over gravel heated to 170°C, shredded plastic melts instantaneously.
It coats the gravel, after which, bitumen is added and the mixture is ready for road laying. For construction of a kilometer of road, the mixture uses a tonne of plastic, equivalent to 100,000 plastic carry bags. Plastic replaces a fraction of the costly bitumen in the road-laying mixture, cutting costs. “The cost of road laying is reduced to one-sixth as opposed to a conventional bitumen road,” Vasudevan says. “Waste plastic becomes an important resource again,” he emphasises.
“It happened due to the blessings of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam,” he recalls, referring to the late Indian scientist who served as president from 2002 to 2007. When Kalam visited Vasudevan’s college as a chief guest for a function in 2001, he was fascinated by Vasudevan’s idea and encouraged him to lay out the first stretch of road within college premises. With support from the college management, the job was done swiftly. “It’s been almost 20 years and that road still doesn’t have cracks or potholes,” Vasudevan says. “Dr. Kalam promoted the idea and became the biggest ambassador for my work.

Dear uncle
How are you all there? I’m fine here.
I write this to relieve myself of the stress resulting from our monotonous academic activity. Right from 5 in the morning to 10 in the evening, work, work and nothing else. And that too all mechanical mugging up tasks. No scope for thinking. No room for creativity. Play, exercise, entertainment are strangers in the campus. I am fed up totally.
I crave for a change. I pray for wisdom to dawn on the administrators. I know you understand me well. I felt like unburdening myself.
Hope to see you this weekend.
Lovingly yours
