VIT Promotes Health Education, Research & Innovation, Wellness Initiatives, Community Engagement, Collaboration with health organizations, Healthcare Access and Healthy Environments.

Clean Water And Sanitation

Clean water and sanitation are fundamental for human health, economic growth, and environmental sustainability.

More than 2 billion people endure water scarcity, and over 3.6 billion do not have access to safe sanitation. Pollution and climate change worsen these difficulties. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6 aims to provide universal access to clean water and sanitation by 2030 and we adhere and follow the best practices in our campus to achieve the same.
