Drinking water

Clean, safe drinking water is available throughout the JGU campus. Strategically placed dispensers ensure students, staff, and visitors can stay hydrated anytime, anywhere. We maintain these dispensers with high hygiene standards, and the water undergoes regular quality testing to ensure safety and taste. 

We encourage the use of refillable bottles instead of single-use plastics, combining convenience with sustainability. From workshops to awareness campaigns, our community learns that making small, mindful choices like refilling a bottle instead of buying plastic; has a significant environmental impact. 

There are more than 220 water fountains and water coolers installed across the campus. The free drinking water is available for all staff members, students, and visitors. 

As part of JGU’s commitment to the overall well-being of members of the JGU community that includes all students, faculty and staff members, water samples taken from each building across the campus are regularly sent for testing to an accredited ISO 45001-2018 laboratory certified by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.  

The results meet the quality standards and are within the parameters set by the Indian Standards for Drinking Water as per the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Specifications for Potable Water (IS – 10500-2012). Therefore, drinking water at the JGU campus is safe and is good for drinking as it meets the quality standards.
