Patiala, December 3

Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL) has been adjudged the cleanest among government residential universities in the category of government institutions in the ‘Swachh Campus Rankings -2019’ conducted by Ministry of Human Resource Development.

The award was conferred by Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal during the award ceremony organised in New Delhi.

Officials said the university has been contributing in protection and preservation of environment. In an official communication, the administration said the university has installed solar panels on roof-tops of its campus that contributed toward 40 per cent of its energy needs.

“The university has vermicompost and biogas units that convert organic waste generated in the institution to a natural source of nutrition for the soil,” an official said. 

Registrar Naresh Kumar Vats said the university has 48 acres of campus, a major part of which is under green cover.
