• The water transport system is regularly inspected for leakages in pipes, taps, valves etc., and rectified immediately.
• A sensor based electrical kit is implemented in the water supply system to avoid overflow and spillage of water from the overhead tank.
• Textile technology and chemistry departments have an effluent water treatment pit where the effluent is dried by open evaporation.
• A Reverse Osmosis plant with a capacity of handling 6,000 liters of raw water per hour is in operation in the campus to ensure a clean and safe potable water supply to the entire campus.
• The rejected water from the reverse osmosis plant is further used for irrigation and cleaning of vehicles.
• Used lubricant oils are of vehicles disposed to the garbage collectors at free of cost

Note: SSM Engineering is located adjacent to polytechnic. Thus the facilities in Engineering campus is reflected as present in polytechnic. Moreover, the management are no the same.
