NVSU recognized for paperless initatives in DAP Productivity Challenge

Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU) received a Certificate of Appreciation for its active participation in the 2025 Productivity Challenge: Paper-less – 1 Million Sheets Saved, organized by the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP).

From 2022 to June 2025, NVSU recorded a total paper savings of 1,547,500 sheets, equivalent to at least 3,000 reams of bond paper valued at approximately ₱900,000.00, reflecting the University’s strong commitment to efficiency and sustainable resource management.

In his message, University President Dr. Wilfredo A. Dumale Jr. commended the University for reaching this milestone, emphasizing the government’s increasing focus on responsible use of resources.

He highlighted NVSU’s digital platforms, particularly its accreditation portals, as among the most convenient across state universities within the AACCUP ecosystem, acknowledging the vital contributions of the Management Information Systems (MIS), the College of Information Technology Education (CITE), and other partner units.

President Dumale also expressed optimism that more paperless initiatives will be implemented, noting that the University’s digitalization efforts—such as digital payment systems, the Cash-Lite Campus initiative with Landbank of the Philippines, and other online services—are geared toward sustainability and the significant reduction of paper waste.

He further lauded the DAP challenge and encouraged the University community to continuously strengthen its paperless practices as part of NVSU’s strategies for efficiency.

“Napakaganda ng challenge na ito ng DAP. Let’s make it more exciting to join,” he said, adding that the University will further intensify its paperless initiatives to address issues related to paper waste generation.
