The SRM Society of Civil Engineers organized an awareness program on 21st August 2018 on the topic “Faecal Sludge Management” at 1.30 PM in CRC Seminar Hall by Prof. Anil Dutt Vyas from Manipal University, Jaipur. The guest lecture started with welcome address and introducing the speaker by Dr. K. S. Satyanarayanan, Professor and Head, Department of Civil Engineering, SRMIST.
The speaker presented the lecture with brief introduction on the importance of Faecal Sludge Management (FSM). He explained that India is a developing country with its per capita income rank being 106 out of 132 countries and how it is affecting the infant and child mortality rate. According to him, typhoid, cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, jaundice, etc. are among the top ten diseases causing death among infants and children in developing countries. And improper sewage disposal and treatment are the main causes of infant and child mortality rate. Open defecation causes malnutrition among children and infants and stunts their growth. He explained how Swach Bharat Mission aims at removing open defecation and similar global projects that had been initiated like Millennium Development Goals which aimed at half the world population having access to safe water and sanitation by 2015; Sustainable Development Goals which aims that the whole world population will have equitable access to safe water and sanitation by 2030 and Reinventing the toilet system, 2017, proposed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) which aims at reinventing the toilets where less water is going to be used.
According to surveys conducted by World Health Organisation (WHO) and UNICEF, 6 in 10 people lack safe sanitation and 3 in 10 people lack safe water. Statistically, 63 percent of sewage generated in India is not treated. In the world, as of today, 2.7 billion people need FSM and by 2030, that number will increase to 5 billion people. Prof. Vyas continued his lecture by explaining the students the basic terminologies of faecal sludge management. He explained the different types of on-site sanitation like pit latrines, septic tanks, etc. and what is the difference between them. He enlightened the students with the difference between the black water, which is wastewater along with faecal waste, and grey water, which is the wastewater excluding faecal waste. He also told them about the different methods and means of collection and transportation of faecal sludge, like, manual collection techniques, mechanized collection techniques, etc. The different treatment objectives and treatment mechanisms of faecal management were also mentioned. The speaker then explained Omni Processor, proposed by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which treats and processes faecal sludge in countries like Sudan, etc. He concluded his speech by encouraging the students to take an online course on faecal sludge management. Around 100 students and 28 faculty members from Civil Engineering. Research Institute, Centre for Environmental Nuclear Research and School of Public Health participated in the lecture.

Slope Stabilization And Soil Erosion Protection By Natural Reinforcing Technique In Yercaud
Date of Event: 07.12.2018 to 16.12.2018
Venue: Yercaud
In Yercaud, many areas are potentially endangered by soil erosion and landslides. The soil erosion will wash away the top shallow soil and results in loss of soil fertility whereas landslides are the threat for safety of local people and touristers. A Project Team of SRM Institute of Science and Technology have proposed the economical and eco-friendly protection technique for soil erosion and landslides based on the findings of their previous research. The proposed soil erosion and landslide protection technique is bio-reinforcing the soil by vegetative cover. In association with District Rural Development Agency of Salem, the project team have done the vegetation at the identified site in Yercaud Block Development Office Campus which parts are endangered by soil erosion and landslides.
Students Of Srm Take Out Anti-plastic Awareness Rally
Date of Event: 13-Dec-2019

The rally started from the Panchayat office of Manjakuttai. The students carried placards with slogans against the use of plastics and spoke earnestly to the vendors, customers and owners of grocery stores, telling them about the harmful effects of plastics and they raised voice against the usage of plastics during the rally. Further the group explained the shop keepers about the implementation of the State-wide plastic ban which is scheduled to begin from January 1, 2019. “A piece of plastic used for a couple of minutes takes hundreds of years to completely destroy. We see tanks, roads and dustbins choked with plastic causing problems both for the present and the future generations,” said the faculty members of SRMIST. Finally the students group asked the shop keepers and people to stop using single using plastics such as plastic bags, straws and plates and, instead, use traditional banana leaves, areca wooden plates, cloth bags and jute bags.

Dhanasekar visited the plant. The officials briefed about the process involved in the STP with the introductory session on the layout as a miniature model of the whole treatment plant for the students and followed by visit to each treatment unit. One of the chemist, Mr. R. Ilayakumar who was accompanied with the team and explained about each unit like Screening, Primary Settling, Aeration, Digester, Secondary Settling and Chlorination. He also mentioned that, it is one among the biggest treatment plant in Tamil Nadu which treats the domestic wastewater from 13 zones of Chennai city and has a capacity of 120 MLD.
The students gained knowledge about practical application of sewage treatment and how the impurities are removed at various levels. The sludge removed from the primary clarifier is fed into the digestor thickener for the production of biogas and later in the gas holding tank. The gas H2S is removed by adding sodium hydroxide to prevent corrosion. The treated effluent is send to Sriperumbudur through underground conduits for industrial usage. Finally visit to lab to know how the characteristics of sewage is done at various stages and noted daily. The chemist also pointed out the standards prescribed by the TNPCB. During the visit,students interaction with officials and the chemist were very much appreciated.
