The Jawaharlal Nehru Univesity on Wednesday relaunched "Swachh JNU" mobile app with additional features aimed at seeking students help in dealing with alarming rise of pollution level inside the campus. This free of cost application works on smart phones which is a commonly used gadget by everyone today. This would be a real-time monitoring and reporting system, which would help the entire university community at large, said an official of JNU. This is one among the many initiatives the University has taken to bring efficiency, transparency and overall JNU community welfare. IIRS/ISRO has coordinated this program in collaboration with many other national institutions. This is the first time that such an App is being used in any University system in the country, said in the official.
While addressing the gathering he also expressed his grief by noting much of the time of the students gets wasted in completing procedures and lining up to buy and fill up application forms.
