IIT, IIM Students Swap Backpacks for Buckets and Bikes in 'No-Bag Day' Trend

A quirky campus trend called 'No-Bag Day' is catching on at premier Indian institutions, including IIT Bombay and IIM Lucknow. Students are replacing traditional backpacks with unconventional carriers such as buckets, umbrellas, cardboard boxes, chairs, and bicycles. The student-driven initiative draws inspiration from the international 'Anything But a Bag Day' concept. It serves as a lighthearted break from rigorous academic schedules while fostering creativity and peer bonding. The trend has since spread beyond these two institutions to other colleges across India.
