Student’s Visit to
Sewage Treatment Plant and Waste Management Site
As part of the university’s commitment to sustainability and resource management, the students of the Faculty of Law, Sardar Patel Subharti Institute of Law, participated in environmental visits within the campus. The visit was scheduled to the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), followed by a visit to the Solid and Biomedical Waste Management Plant by the all batches of BALLB and LL.M. These visits were planned to comply with the directive from the Hon’ble CEO Madam, encouraging participation across departments.
The visit to the Sewage Treatment Plant provided students with an in-depth understanding of how wastewater generated by the university is treated and processed. Students were told by concerned faculty who explained the various stages of sewage treatment, including screening, sedimentation, and biological treatment processes. Emphasis was placed on the plant’s role in maintaining water quality, reducing environmental pollution, and promoting sustainable water usage within the campus.
During the visit to the Solid and Biomedical Waste Management Plant, students observed how the university manages solid and biomedical waste in compliance with environmental regulations. Students demonstrated the proper segregation, collection, treatment, and disposal of waste, highlighting the importance of responsible waste management practices. Students noticed the university’s biomedical waste treatment plant, which operates with stringent protocols to ensure the safe disposal of medical waste, safeguarding both the environment and public health.
Students visited several other sustainability initiatives on campus, including a Biogas Plant that converts organic waste into renewable energy for cooking. They explored a Parking Facility with solar panels, showcasing the university’s commitment to solar energy. At the Garbage Segregation House, they learned about efficient waste management through proper segregation of recyclables and non-recyclables. They also observed an e-waste bin, emphasizing the importance of responsibly disposing of electronic waste. Finally, they looked at Rainwater Harvesting Systems designed to collect and reuse rainwater for landscaping, highlighting the university’s efforts in water conservation.
Visits were well-organized, and students actively participated in it. The visits not only deepened the students’ appreciation for the university’s green initiatives but also encouraged them to adopt environmentally friendly practices in their own lives.
