The university has placed blue & green dustbins at different common places in the campus to collect degradable & non-degradable waste separately
The waste coming from offices and residential areas was earlier collected by the Bilaspur Municipal Corporation for proper disposal outside the campus. But due to some issues, the waste (segregated into bio degradable and solid waste) are now collected by the sweeping staff. The solid waste is accumulated in the trench from where it is transported for proper disposal outside the campus (in a place identified by the municipal Corporation).
The bio-degradable waste accumulated from the campus are used to prepare organic manure which used in the university nursery for seedlings production etc.
The liquid wastes coming from the old buildings (offices, hostels and teaching departments) are disposed off either through septic tank or soak pits connected to the buildings. Two new Sewerage Treatment Plants (STP) have been constructed in the Campus. One behind the Education building connected with two buildings (Arts & Social Work and Education deptt building). The two new girl’s hostel in the campus are connected to the second STP constructed behind new girls hostel. The Third STP is under construction behind CSIT building and will be connected to three buildings (CSIT, Law and Commerce).
The recycled water flowing out of these STP's are presently delivered on the open land for absorption. In future the university has planned to use this recycled water for garden and wash areas.
Also, all the upcoming buildings in the campus have provision of Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) in its architectural design plan and work order for the proper disposal of liquid wastes.
High end systems and electronic gadgets are repaired and used for low end semesters as far as possible. All outdated Electrical/Electronic gadgets, instruments etc. are collected, accumulated at a central store for its disposal through E-waste auction. University also procures new instruments, batteries etc. as replacement of existing ones through buyback policy.
Hazardous chemicals & radioactive waste management: The University is having a national centre for acceleration based research and runs the three million electron volt (3 MeV) machine with the permission from Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB). The radiation safety officer and the safety committee takes care of maintaining & monitoring all the safety provisions as prescribed by AERB. All radioactive sources and irradiated materials that may have any activity are kept in the cold room as per the protocol. Neutron, Gamma ray & X-ray detectors are placed in the centre and radiation badges are used by the research workers which are periodically sent for Dose report to BARC as per the protocols.

The Department of Law offer a course paper “Constitutional Law” as a generic elective course to be chosen by any other department for their students. The other departments of the university have also framed a course on “Constitution of India”. Offering these courses, though a small step, are helpful in inculcating constitutional obligations among the students. In Policies of the Vishwavidyalaya reflects the rule of law. An intelligently drafted Code of Conducts for being followed by both students and employees, in-fact, negates the rule of power, status, etc. As democracy and rule of law can be established and achieved by informed citizenry, the Vishwavidyalaya respects the sanctity and the necessity of having a separate RTI Cell having objectives of bringing increased transparency and accountability in administration. Legal aid to the poor and weak is necessary for the preservation of rule of law which is necessary for the existence of the orderly society. In this context, the Vishwavidyalaya feels pride in renovating its Legal Aid Clinic whose functions are to create legal awareness and to assist the poor who is denied inequality of opportunity to seek justice. The Vishwavidyalaya is not insensitive to its responsibility towards Environmental Protection, one of its constitutional obligations. Environmental Studies are offered to all graduate students as AECC course.
