We being a responsible organization know the damage being caused by Carbon emissions and trying to reduce it using solar panel installations and bicycle initiative, Water table initiative, and Sewage Treatment initiative.

In 2019, LPU contribute and 500+ SDG based papers with 38 specifically climate change based having 10% cite score and 181 FWCI. A compulsory subject based on Environment is being taught in 25 domains to start the change from grass-root level. In 2017, LPU’s two Ph. D. Scholars developed E-Parirakshak in the year 2017. The idea behind this invention was to develop a device that could monitor agricultural lands for fertility, soil temperature, and moisture, besides controlling water pumps, blowers, and sprinklers. E-Parirakshak was listed among the Top 15 projects presented at the PRME 2020 IILM Sustainability Carnival held in Greater Noida. The device consists of several sensor nodes that are deployed in the field, a handheld tool that displays information and micro-controllers. It can detect diseases and infections in the crop, simultaneously updating the farmer. The device can be used for both modern and traditional agriculture-open field, hydroponic, besides vertical farming. There is no need for internet and it has a range of 10 km with star topology which can be increased by using mesh topology.

In addition to that the innovative Walking-Bicycle which is a bicycle with legs is a potential solution to produce clean and green energy while burning the calories. The invention combines the walking with cycling. The rear wheel of the cycle is replaced with a mechanical assemblage of links to idealize a walking object. This project is built with the aim of providing health benefits as well as generating small scale electricity for home use. With 2 hours of cycling, it can generate electricity which is able to supply energy for 24 hours of daily use in a normal house.

The number of international students on the campus from the developing countries is increasing every year. It is very encouraging in terms of students coming from these countries for higher education and research.

The post-industrial world presents the globe with unique challenges of not just creating infrastructure and stimulating technological innovation, but rather catalysing and sustaining innovation and infrastructure that is accessible, generative and resilient. Cognizant of this responsibility, Lovely Professional University seeks to work with all stakeholders to create and promote a robust ecosystem of equitable and resilient innovation. Its endeavour is to evolve an industry-University collaboration to contribute to co-creation of knowledge at local and national levels, and facilitate production of solutions by bringing together students and both the public and private sector. It is the combination of these core missions that grants the Lovely Professional University its impetus towards conforming to the ideals envisioned in SDG 9.

Various activities including projects, workshops, symposium and seminars have been undertaken to facilitate growth of innovative practices and research outlook. Prominent of them are: • Students Experiment with Hydroponics: A technology developed by Lovely Professional University

students in which the plants are grown in an artificial environment without soil. Various ensemble approaches like hydroponics, aquaponics and aeroponics are utilized. The growth rate of a hydroponic plant is 30 to 50 percent faster than a soil plant, grown under the same conditions.

• Research on Aquaponics: Lovely Professional University students have also undertaken aquaponic project to explore its sustainability and increasing awareness of this food production system. Aquaponics, a combination of aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (soil-less plant farming), uses fish wastewater as a resource, circulating it through hydroponic grow beds where plants take up its nutrients. The filtered water is then recycled back through the fish tanks.

• Flying farmer: Conceptualized and built by Lovely Professional University students, Flying Farmer is a wireless sensor device used in farming and field survey of forests. It plays an important role in enhancing mapping and survey of yield and biomass. By using this technology, one can support and increase the precision in farming with different sensors and also estimate nutrient content.

• Students Build Solar Powered Car: Lovely Professional University students designed and built a solar car that claims to do away with costly fuel options and promises the “highest mileage on solar energy”.
