Environmental Management of Acharya Nagarjuna University …
163
Alshuwaikhat and Abubakar (2008) proposed a framework of a more suitable
approach to achieving campus sustainability in universities.
The following steps are suggested to adopt for the environmental management of
ANU campus:
(1) Vehicular pollution shall be reduced by growing suitable plants. (2) Number
of recharge pits shall be enhanced and periodical maintenance shall be arranged. (3)
Proper drainage system shall be created to control the liquid waste. (4) A periodical
collection of solid waste shall be maintained. (5) Regarding management of the ewaste and damaged furniture, a system shall be evolved for stock recording, repair
and resale.
Awareness programs shall be arranged periodically to reduce the campus waste.
6 Conclusion
Normally, the university campuses are with educated and intellectual persons. As
such, any programme related to the social development can easily be implemented.
These institutions also have a responsibility to create awareness among the university
community and the public. The universities in the state shall prepare a campus map
using remote sensing and GIS with all the details for proper planning and implementation of waste management techniques. University administration shall give priority
for clean air, water, drainage system and the sustainable management of liquid, solid
and e-waste.

Professors, SRKR Engineering college, Bhimavaram, West Godavari District, AP) for their help in
preparing the campus map using remote sensing and GIS.
