RONO HILLS, OCT 22:

Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU) organised Shramdaan activities under the Swachhata Hi Seva 2026 campaign to improve sanitation facilities and promote cleanliness and hygiene at the university campus.

The activities focused on sanitation facilities at RGU Balvatika and Government Secondary School on the campus, aiming to provide a cleaner and healthier environment for students, teachers and staff.

The drive was conducted under the supervision of Dr A. Yuvaraj, Assistant Director of Physical Education and programme coordinator for Swachhata Hi Seva 2026, in coordination with RGU Sanitary Officer Likha Talling and the concerned school authorities.

Volunteers and staff cleaned classrooms, play areas, surrounding premises and public toilets. Waste materials were collected and disposed of properly, while damaged toilet facilities, including broken fixtures, were taken up for repair and minor renovation. Efforts were also made to improve the usability of sanitation facilities and ensure access to basic amenities, including water supply wherever required.

Students were sensitised to personal hygiene, proper waste disposal, environmental protection and the responsible use and maintenance of sanitation facilities. The initiative highlighted the importance of making cleanliness a continuous responsibility through collective participation.

The university said the activities also strengthened coordination between RGU and educational institutions on its campus, reaffirming its commitment to the objectives of the Swachh Bharat Mission and the promotion of a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.
