Off-campus water conservation support

JGU has multiple research centres that support the SDGs, including SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. Through our research, teaching, conferences, community engagement and partnerships, we address the topic of water conservation and links with climate change.

JSES conducts field-visits and community engagement workshops for B.A. (Hons.) Environment and Sustainable Development students. The field visits and community engagement programs focused on ‘local community participation’ activities wherein the students get a chance to interact with the local communities in the villages/schools/health centres/slums, etc. and understand their problems related to water, health and hygiene. The students discussed the different problems of water, health and hygiene and their possible solutions with different stakeholders including the local government representatives, nominated officials, health representatives, the general public, etc. As a part of the course and in line with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 4 and 6) “Clean Water and Sanitation”, the 2nd year students also organised a Community Engagement Workshop on “Water, sanitation, Health and Education: SDGs Learning and Training”.
