Bhavan’s Tripura Vidyamandir has introduced a groundbreaking eco-friendly water solution called ‘Jalabal’, locally known as ‘Jadui-Neer’. This new invention offers a biodegradable and sustainable replacement for single-use plastic water bottles, addressing one of the growing environmental concerns of modern times — plastic pollution.
A Sustainable Alternative to Plastic Bottles
The Jalabal capsule features an edible and biodegradable membrane that holds drinkable water inside it. This allows consumers to directly consume the capsule without using any additional packaging. As a result, the innovation not only reduces plastic waste but also introduces a creative approach to water consumption.
The concept blends environmental awareness with practical science, making it a meaningful step toward eco-friendly living. The idea aligns with global movements that promote reducing disposable plastic and replacing it with green alternatives.

Enhancing Learning Through Science and Innovation
This initiative goes beyond the concept of sustainability — it serves as a hands-on science learning model for students. Jalabal demonstrates how chemistry and environmental science can create solutions for real-world challenges.
Teachers and educators believe that the invention sparks curiosity among students and inspires them to think critically about environmental problems. The school aims to encourage more innovation-based activities that combine learning with sustainability.
Ideal for Sports and Outdoor Use
Due to its lightweight and easy-to-carry design, Jalabal is particularly beneficial in sports settings. Athletes often require quick hydration during events, and this plastic-free solution provides a convenient alternative to disposable plastic bottles commonly used in playgrounds and tournaments.
The capsule format ensures quick access to water without generating waste, making sports more environmentally responsible.
A Step Toward a Greener Future
Jalabal reflects how simple scientific ideas can help society transition toward a greener and cleaner future. By motivating students to experiment and innovate, Bhavan’s Tripura Vidyamandir hopes to build a generation that understands the importance of sustainability and environmental responsibility.
The school administration stated that this is just the beginning and more eco-innovation projects will be encouraged in the coming years.
With Jalabal now gaining attention, Bhavan’s Tripura Vidyamandir sets a positive example for educational institutions across the region — demonstrating that meaningful environmental change can start in the classroom and expand into the community.
