Bilaspur Students Create Eco-Friendly Herbal Gulal, Fund Education

• Guru Ghasidas Central University students in Bilaspur are making eco-friendly herbal gulal from spinach, Palash, and beetroot.
• This initiative, under 'Swavalambi Chhattisgarh Yojana', has helped over 160 students earn income to pay semester fees.
• Herbal gulal is made by grinding natural ingredients, mixing with arrowroot/starch, drying, and adding natural fragrances.
• Unlike chemical colors, herbal gulal is safe for skin, preventing allergies, itching, and eye irritation.
• The project promotes environmental protection and self-reliance, offering a safe alternative for Holi celebrations.
