6.5.5 Cooperation on Water Security
Teerthanker Mahaveer University is pleased to announce the MOU signing with the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India, under the webinar series ‘Igniting Young Minds: Rejuvenating Rivers’ organized by the National Mission for Clean Ganga. Dr. Manjula Jain, Dean of Academics, represented Teerthanker Mahaveer University at the prestigious Namami Gange Universities Connect Conclave. The MOU aims to bring the student community to the forefront of the mass movement for creating a sustainable ecosystem of our rivers.
TMU eagerly looks forward to continuing with the Ministry of Jal Shakti to inspire youth toward water conservation, river rejuvenation, cleanliness, agricultural practices, and water reuse.
By engaging students, faculty, and locals together, TMU fosters a shared sense of responsibility for water resources. This cooperative approach also connects with district-level efforts for water conservation and security in the Moradabad area. Overall, TMU’s cooperation on water security reflects a campus-community model in which institutional infrastructure, academic research, and grassroots engagement converge to safeguard water for present and future generations. Teerthanker Mahaveer University (TMU) in Moradabad collaborates with local, regional, and national government bodies to advance water security through a range of sustainability initiatives and formal partnerships:
