No smoking policy

Background

SDG target 3.9.1, calls for a substantial reduction in deaths and illnesses from air pollution. SDG target 11.6.2, aims to reduce the environmental impact of cities by improving air quality. 

According to the dashboard presented in the Sustainable Development Report created by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), significant challenges remain in India for the indicator ‘age-standardised death rate attributable to household air pollution and ambient air pollution’. Major challenges persist in ‘production-based air pollution’ which has a negative performance rating. 

AQI Monitoring System

JGU has installed an outdoor AQI monitoring system, with a set of sensors based on the Central Pollution Control Board’s AQI calculator, which measures PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, CO, O3 and NH3.

The AQI Monitoring System is used for identifying specific pollutants, taking action for reducing stationary sources of pollution, reporting longitudinal trends in data, and monitoring real time data for decision-making protocols in campus operations.

Smoking ban

Smoking inside the JGU campus, including both indoor and outdoor areas, is strictly prohibited.
