An international seminar titled "Sustainable Development Business Verification Survey and UVCCL Technology for Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Supply in India" was held in the auditorium of Shri Ram Group of Colleges. High-level officials from Stanley Electric Corporation Limited and OEC, Japan, participated and represented the seminar. The seminar focused on a cutting-edge Japanese water purification technology that uses ultraviolet rays and a catalytic carbon layer to remove harmful bacteria, viruses, chemical elements, and impurities from water.

This technology purifies water without chemicals, reduces energy consumption, is inexpensive to maintain, and can be effectively used in both rural and urban areas.

The seminar was inaugurated by lighting the lamp jointly by Dr. S.C. Kulshrestha, Founder Chairman of Shri Ram Group of Colleges and Chief Guest Dr. Pragya Singh, Executive Officer, Municipal Board, Muzaffarnagar and Tashyuuki Iwasaki, Manager, Stanley Electric Corporation Limited and Hiroshi Yamanuchi, Executive Officer, OCE, Japan, who came from Japan. Kushpuri, Vipul Bhatnagar, Director of Integrated Campus, Shri Ram Group of Colleges, Dr. S.N. Chauhan, Principal of Shri Ram College, Dr. Prerna Mittal, Director, Research, Shri Ram Group of Colleges, Dr. R.P. Singh, Director, Shri Ram College of Pharmacy, Dr. Girendra Gautam, Dean Academics, Dr. Vineet Kumar Sharma.

The above seminar was discussed in detail by Dr. S.C. Kulshrestha, Founder Chairman of Shri Ram Group of Colleges and Dr. Pragya Singh, Executive Officer, Municipal Board and Tashyuuki Iwasaki and Hiroshi Yamanuchi from Japan.

In this regard, Dr. S.C. Kulshrestha, Founder Chairman of the Shri Ram Group of Colleges, welcomed the delegation from Japan and praised Hiroshi Yamanuchi and Tatsuyuki Iwasaki, saying that the way these executives, despite being in charge of such a large company, are working from the grassroots level is inspiring. He added that through this company, 98% of the water can be purified and used for irrigation.

He also informed that five years ago, the Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA) installed a wastewater treatment plant on the Shri Ram Group of Colleges campus to recycle the institution's wastewater and make it suitable for irrigation. Following this, the Japanese government provided a loan of approximately ₹3.5 crore to the college.

On this occasion, Dr. Pragya Singh, the chief guest at the seminar, explained that access to safe and affordable drinking water remains a major challenge in many parts of India, such as Muzaffarnagar. Microbial contamination, poor maintenance, and chemical purification methods often compromise water safety. Dr. Pragya Singh expressed her satisfaction with the use of this technology in Muzaffarnagar and assured the municipality's full support.

On this occasion, Hiroshi Yamanuchi explained that UVCCL is a technology that can protect drinking water from microorganisms. This technology eliminates microorganisms without compromising water quality. He also stated that this technology has been successfully used in Maharashtra and Rampur village in Punjab, India. He now intends to implement this technology in Muzaffarnagar district, Uttar Pradesh.

Following the seminar, Tatsuyuki Iwasaki explained that this method has several advantages, including high microbiological efficacy against bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, low operating costs, minimal energy use, and low chlorine consumption.

During the seminar, various experts shared their views on the water crisis and water quality challenges in India. College students and faculty members presented research papers and presentations on the topic.

College Principal Dr. Prerna Mittal stated that this initiative is an excellent example of India-Japan educational and technical cooperation. She explained that the seminar provided students with a deep understanding of international technological innovations.

The seminar was successfully conducted by Dr. Ritu Pundir and Hurain Khan, and the guests were thanked at the end of the program .Dr. Bushra Aqeel was the coordinator of this international seminar.
