Sustainable Development

Keeping in view the natural resource utilization by our institution, the TSM Medical college and hospital management is committed for preservation of natural resources using state of the art technologies to achieve the sustainable development of the institution in particular and society in general. Since the inception of the institution we have planned for optimal utilization of natural resources and set the goal for zero discharge of effluents in our institution.

In order to attain aforementioned goals, we have undertaken following projects

• Rain Water harvesting.
• Waste water treatment and recycling
• Promotion of Non-Conventional energy.
• Energy auditing.

Rain Water Harvesting

Groundwater has gradually become the main source of water in Indian cities putting tremendous pressure on their aquifers. In Lucknow, River Gomti has been the main source for drinking water, however, the dependence of municipal water supplies on groundwater has increased significantly, making it a predominant source for city’s water supplies.

During summer season most of the surface water bodies do not have sufficient water and also surface water is not available locally and needs to be transported. On the contrary, groundwater is easily accessible throughout the year and can be extracted easily through tube wells. This is leading to excessive exploitation of groundwater and rapidly declining water table.

At present, groundwater exploitation in the Lucknow city during pre-monsoon is about 17 times more than the combined recharge from rainfall and Gomti River in to the groundwater system. In Lucknow city, 71% households are supplied with water by Jal Sansthan and 72% households use groundwater, indicating that almost 43% households use both the sources. Maximum coverage of supply water is in west and north Lucknow and least in south and east Lucknow. Survey among different water users indicate that 91% multi-storey group housing societies and almost 70% of Lucknow’s commercial users - Hotels and Restaurants, Hospitals, Offices, Malls and Schools, are dependent on ground water. At least 25% of commercial users also reported that since the drilling, they have increased the depth of their bore wells by almost 100 m, due to lowering of water table in their area. Our Hospital Constructed 29 no’s of Rain Water Harvesting Chamber to Recharge the Ground water.

Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)

In India the effluent and sewage discharged from industries and urban settlements are the major source of pollution of surface water bodies like rivers, lakes, wetlands etc. resulting their environmental degradations. Therefore, proper collection, treatment and disposal of industrial wastes and domestic sewage is an essential pre-requisite for conservation of aforesaid natural water bodies in order to maintain their environmental sustainability which is also related to the general health of the public and the improvement of quality of life in our Hospital Campus there is 800 KLD STP plant to recycle the waste water We use the Recycled water in Flushing and Gardening.

Non-Conventional Energy

Energy is the prime mover of economic growth and is vital to sustenance of a modern economy. Energy is the key input to drive and improve the life cycle. Primarily it is the gift of the nature to the mankind in various forms. The consumption of energy is directly proportional to the progress of mankind. With ever growing population, improvement in living standard of the humanity, industrialization of developing countries, the global demand of energy is expected to increase rather significantly in the near future. India rank fifth in the world in total energy consumption and needs to accelerate the development of the sector to meet its growth aspiration. India has one of the fastest and largest growing economies in the world, as well as an expensive populace of above 1.25 billion people.

There is a very high demand for energy, which is currently satisfied mainly by coal, foreign oil, and petroleum, which apart from being a non – renewable, and therefore non – permanent solution to the energy crisis; it is also detrimental to the environment. Thus, it is essential to tackle the energy crisis through judicious utilization of abundant renewable energy resources, such as biomass energy, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal, etc. Our management also want to give something to the society, we have also installed 650 KW Photovoltaics system on our hospital and college roof top and 20000-liter Solar thermal on hostel roof top , we are also using the bio gas in our hostel mess for cooking purpose by kitchen-waste.

Solar Photovoltaic Saving Data Table

• Financial Saving = 36435650 @ 10 Rs/ unit
• CO2 Emission reduction using solar 2175 Ton @0.597 CO2/KWh

Solar Thermal Saving Data Table

• Total Financial Saving = 6048000 Rs @ 10Rs
• CO2 Emission reduction using solar thermal 364 Ton @.597 Co2/KWh

Bio Gas

Biogas has emerged as a promising renewable technology to convert agricultural, animal, industrial and municipal wastes into energy .Anaerobic digestion of biodegradable organic wastes, besides providing energy and manure, offers several social and environmental benefits. Biogas contributes in reducing negative externalities associated with organic wastes such as groundwater and soil contamination, emission of local air pollutants like dioxins and furans as well as methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Replacement of fossil fuels and untreated traditional solid biomass by clean fuel like biogas for cooking, lighting and electricity generation would also help in curtailing GHG emissions as well as indoor air pollution .we have also installed 15M3 Bio Gas Plant in our hostel Campus for cooking purpose.

Energy Audit

Energy audit of a building is a systematic procedure which aims to evaluate the building’s existing energy consumption, to identify the potential energy savings and to report the findings. It is an important tool which can be used to implement energy efficiency measures and achieve energy conservation in the building sector together with extension of the electromechanical equipment life span.

TSM hospital has been Regularly conducting Energy Audit Since 2017.
