Our Commitment to Change
Teerthanker Mahaveer University upholds a strong commitment to fostering a healthy, sustainable, and inclusive campus environment through the implementation of a comprehensive Smoke-Free Campus Policy. This initiative forms a vital component of the University’s environmental and wellness framework, safeguarding the health and well-being of students, faculty, staff, and visitors alike. By prohibiting smoking across all academic, residential, and recreational zones, TMU significantly reduces exposure to second-hand smoke while promoting preventive healthcare practices. The policy reflects the institution’s alignment with national public health priorities and global Sustainable Development Goal 3 – Good Health and Well-being. Beyond its health focus, the smoke-free initiative cultivates a culture of mutual respect, responsibility, and healthy living within the campus community. It also reinforces inclusivity by protecting individuals with respiratory sensitivities and ensuring clean air for all. Embedded within TMU’s sustainability agenda, the policy exemplifies leadership in advancing environmental wellness and social responsibility. Through this effort, the University continues to nurture a holistic atmosphere where academic excellence coexists with physical, mental, and environmental well-being.
