Goal Report

Institutional Commitment

Support awareness and research related to water ecosystems and pollution prevention.

Academic Integration

Curriculum, laboratory work, student projects, assignments, mentoring and awareness programmes can be mapped to this goal so that learning outcomes are connected with real-world sustainability challenges.

Research Alignment

Research evidence includes Scopus publications, patents, consultancy, funded projects, conference papers, student projects and interdisciplinary work that address the technical and social dimensions of this goal.

Campus / Community Link

Outreach evidence should capture the community need, beneficiaries, participation, photographs, measurable outcome and follow-up action taken by the department, NSS unit, club or cell.

Governance Note

Documentation should be reviewed through the SDG Cell/IQAC process with proper date, department, coordinator, SDG tags, proof, outcomes and improvement action for the next cycle.

Major Initiatives / Documentation Areas

  • Plastic reduction and clean-campus activities to reduce land-based pollution reaching water bodies.
  • Water conservation, wastewater treatment and environmental engineering projects.
  • Awareness on aquatic ecosystems, water pollution, marine conservation and responsible consumption.
  • Research linked to sensors, pollution control, materials, wastewater and environmental protection.

Research Focus

Water-body protection, plastic reduction, wastewater research and environmental outreach.
