Learning has No Boundaries..!Dear MSU Member,

In this period of crisis and distress we all are floating on an iceberg which is melting everyday, it is time for us to analyze and accept the crisis and find appropriate solution to it. Being the education institution it is our liability to research and provide suitable options, suggestions and action plans for policy makers and society to deal with the melting situation. One thing which has not stopped or interrupted in this period is learning. We had workshops and webinars to discuss and learn to deal and be ready for the new normal. We are discovering and learning by and through new learning pla�orms and I am happy to share that in our university all faculties have proved that there are no boundaries to learn and progress.

Let's not set our limits but stretch our limits to learn and achieve!

Vadodara… The very mention of the city brings to our mind an image of a city throbbing with a� and culture treasuring a prolonged history, but it was given its present identity by its beloved king Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad-III. Several luminaries lived and worked in Vadodara, leaving their footprints for the generations to follow that included Swami Vivekananda, Maharshi Aurobindo, and Dr Ambedkar all of whom stayed in Vadodara during different phases of their life, and the common person connecting the trio is Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad-III. On December 28, 1881, Sayajirao was bestowed with the complete political rule of Vadodara when he was just 18. He reigned for 58 years and pe�ormed his duties as a king of G a e k w a d S t a t e r e c e i v i n g

massive love and suppo� of people. Like Gandhiji, Sayajirao worked in several domains of social life where education and eradication of untouchability were the two major strands. In a phase where even a�er 72 years of Independence, we are trying to educate people with “Literacy Campaign” and trying to wipe out the stigma of a country with the highest number of the illiterate population, one is surprised to learn that before a century Sayajirao Gaekwad had implmented free and compulsory education in Vadodara State. Courageously, he had taken a bold step to penalize parents who did not send their children to the school for free and compulsory education! In those days, he had sta�ed libraries in each village. Tirelessly, he put in a lot of effo�s for girl child education and adult education. He made enormous progress in each field he took up to upli�. Such was the success of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad whose success has always lied in the people he had selected as he had brought each one with great caliber and then used to give them absolute freedom. The Maharaja himself took an interest in each depa�ment, understood the practical problems of the officials and then helped them find out the solutions. As a result, we have an example of a king who was loved by all. Salute to Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad who was courageous, full of patriotic feelings and exceptionally wise!

SEARCH FOR RESEARCH www.msuconnect.com

The textile industries in India are considered as very impo�ant source of income and increases the economy upto several folds. Although industrial revolution has facilitated the humans to advance fu�her for the last two centuries, aquatic contamination by industrial discharges has been one of t h e c r i t i c a l i s s u e s o f environmental concern. As the ser ies of processes proceeds in industries, the water comes into contact with harmful chemicals, heavy metals, inorganic wastes and even organic sludge. These are either dumped into rivers or other water bodies resulting in accumulation of high amount of industrial waste in them .The effluents released from textile industries are highly coloured due to the presence of dyes/pigments, detergents and su�actants. As soon as these

effluents are released into any water body or receiving medium they ultimately deteriorates their quality and impose severe threat to inhabitants. The

effluents of industrial and commercial establishment posses threats to environment mainly in urban and semi urban areas. It becomes the source of pollution for su�ace and subsu�ace water, soil and air. The unplanned discharge of effluent degrades the quality of soi l , crop and environment and also affects human, animals and aquatic

life. Numerous tanneries, chemical plants, textile mills, distilleries, slaughterhouses, and hospitals prosper and flourish in a large number of industrial cities situated along the bank of the rivers where they cause pollution due to the discharge of untreated waste into it.

REMEDIATION OF INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENT: an a�empt to clean environment

Industrial discharges are the major sources of aquatic pollution. Various types of pollutants are released into the environment directly (industrial outlets) or indirectly (domestic sewages) due to various anthropogenic activities which in turn may pose serious threat to human health depending upon the type of industry. Wastewater released from various industries has high concentration of organic pollutants, toxic components such as heavy metals, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins, poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), petrochemicals, phenolic components etc. They are released directly

into the aquatic medium which is harmful for surrounding water bodies, human health and aquatic life. Biomagnification takes place through food chain when industrial effluent containing heavy metals (Cr, Pb, Hg, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd etc.) reaches into the aquatic ecosystem. Progress in toxicology has advanced our knowledge regarding the excessive accumulation of heavy metals and their adverse impacts on human health including developmental retardation, cancer, kidney damage, endocrine disruption, immunological disorders (autoimmunity) and even death.

Harmful effect of Effluents on human health:

Since we all know that organic and inorganic pollution load is harmful for environment and human beings as well. There are several methods studied for the removal of pollutants from water body. Among various methods, Adsorption is a most acceptable method for removal of pollutants due to their cost effectiveness, economic viability, renewable capacity and ease of operation.

Remediation Methods:
