Promoting conscious water usage on Campus
During 2025, Shoolini University strengthened its institutional commitment to conscious water usage by integrating water conservation, resource efficiency, infrastructure development and environmental awareness across the campus. The University adopted a comprehensive approach to reducing water wastage through awareness campaigns, educational initiatives and the installation of water-efficient fixtures. A significant achievement was the installation of 609 low-flow taps, complemented by sensor-based faucets and dual-flush toilet systems to minimise unnecessary water consumption. The University further promoted responsible water practices through strategically displayed conservation posters and signboards, encouraging students, faculty, staff and visitors to adopt water-conscious habits. In collaboration with EIACP and HIMCOSTE, a week-long workshop on water conservation and rainwater harvesting was organised at the Centre for Science, Learning and Creativity (CSLC), Shoghi, to strengthen practical understanding of sustainable water management. Rainwater harvesting systems, rooftop collection structures, dedicated storage chambers and groundwater-recharge facilities further supported freshwater conservation and reduced surface runoff. Harvested rainwater was utilised for irrigation, landscaping, flushing and construction activities, while treated wastewater from the 400 KLD Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) was reused for suitable non-potable purposes. Demonstrating its commitment to ecological sustainability, the University also planted 1,284 saplings representing 22 species during 2025, supporting water-conscious landscaping and campus biodiversity. These integrated measures reflect a proactive institutional approach towards embedding water conservation into everyday campus operations, infrastructure and environmental practices. Collectively, these initiatives advance United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and reinforce Shoolini University's vision of developing a resource-efficient, environmentally responsible and water-sustainable campus.

Promoting conscious water usage in the wider community
During 2025, Shoolini University strengthened its commitment to promoting conscious water usage beyond campus boundaries through community engagement, environmental education, collaborative initiatives and practical conservation activities. Recognising that sustainable water management requires collective responsibility, the University actively engaged students, faculty, local communities and institutional partners in promoting responsible water-use practices and protecting natural water resources. Through its Sustainability Cell, Eco Club and National Service Scheme (NSS), the University organised awareness campaigns, cleanliness drives and educational activities to encourage behavioural change towards water conservation. A key initiative, Clean Today, Green Tomorrow, conducted at Ashwini Khad on 22 November 2025, involved 40 NSS volunteers in collecting and segregating plastic and non-biodegradable waste to protect local water resources. Engagement with Sanol Gram Panchayat on 19 July 2025 further emphasised community awareness, household water conservation, pollution prevention and sustainable water-management practices. The University also collaborated with Bisleri's Bottles for Change campaign on Earth Day, promoting responsible plastic collection, segregation and recycling among students and surrounding communities. Furthermore, the Walking Into a Greener Tomorrow campus tour during Induction 2025 engaged more than 400 students each day, introducing new students to water conservation and sustainable campus practices. Strategic partnerships with Healing Himalayas Foundation, HIMCOSTE and the Ministry of Jal Shakti further strengthened the University's contribution to environmental awareness, scientific learning and sustainable water security. A week-long workshop on water conservation and rainwater harvesting, organised through EIACP and HIMCOSTE at the CSLC Science Museum, provided additional opportunities for practical learning and knowledge-sharing. Collectively, these initiatives demonstrate Shoolini University's commitment to extending water-conscious practices into the wider community, fostering environmental stewardship and advancing United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).

Conscious water usage in the wider community
An extremely informative event was held to aware the students against the wastage of water by the students of St Luke’s. Nukkad Natak on the topic of ‘Save the water’ was played at Shoolini University. A very relevant issue our society faces these days especially the depletion of groundwater, and the throwing of waste in the water bodies of the Himalyan region. Messages from similar age groups are affected more compared to the guidelines given by the seminars and conferences. Ankur Saxena ‘Bashar’ guided the students with the act. The chancellor motivated and encouraged the students and urged them to continue coming to the university with such a powerful act. He also said that - We at Shoolini stand with the cause and being an educational institute understand our duty to instill good values and spread awareness against such concern which will surely be a disaster if not controlled in near times.
Cleaning Drive in the local community by School of Biological and Environmental Sciences
School of Biological and Environmental Sciences has successfully conducted the first phase of ‘Swachhta Pakhwada 2022’ with a cleanliness drive in Sultanpur village near Shoolini University. With the active participation of more than 35 students along with five faculty members, the cleanliness drive was a grand success. We started our ‘Swachhta Abhiyan’ by cleaning the surroundings of the local water source so that the water remains uncontaminated and pure. With the active support of the local people, next, we cleaned the surroundings of the local dispensary, primary school, and post office of Sultanpur. Awareness about the importance of cleanliness and health hygiene was also spread among the local communities and school children. We have also focused on public interaction and surveys. Information was collected regarding the present scenario and problems faced by local communities with respect to cleanliness. We have also interacted with the former Pradhan of this village to seek her views and requirements regarding the cleanliness of the mentioned village.
Ashwani Khadd Cleaning Drive with Healing Himalayas
Regular cleaning campaigns are organised in and around campus as a part of Swachh Bharat Campaign. On November 20, 2022, a cleaning campaign was organised at the riverside area near Xanadu Café situated at Ashwani Khadd in collaboration with Healing Himalayas. More than 60 volunteers spent several hours cleaning up the khud which has fallen prey to tourism vagaries. The beautiful water body is often littered with plastic and other garbage. The garbage collection was segregated and sent for proper disposal. After hard work, the students enjoyed some hot lunch served by Xanadu Cafe. The team from Healing Himalayas interacted with the students sensitizing them about the growing menace of plastic.
