He outlined the different values and uses of each type, stressing the importance of understanding the quality of water sources for effective public health strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A significant part of his presentation focused on the degradation of water sources, particularly in areas like Cherapunzi, which receives the highest rainfall in the country. He highlighted how water quality in different regions across India has deteriorated over the last few decades due to rising levels of radiation and heavy metals, as well as inefficient sewage management systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The session, which was attended by over 40 students, was earlier inaugurated by Dr. Vinod Kumar, Chairperson of the Department of Sociology. The seminar focused on the crucial issue of water quality and its direct impact on public health and human rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chandigarh, September 17, 2025: The Department of Sociology at Panjab University today hosted a seminar on &#8220;Clean and Safe Drinking Water: A Human Right&#8221; led by Mr. Paramjit Singh Rana, from Canada, an expert in environmental health and water management.
