About Center

Wilo water quality center of excellence promotes research in water treatment, purification, and creates much-needed social awareness about clean drinking water. The center has been established with the help of a grant from Wilo Foundation, Germany This innovative center was inaugurated on 14th June 2018 by Prof. Dr. Hans Jorg Bullinger, Chairman Board of Trustees, Wilo Foundation.

The center is a step towards fulfilling the motto of carrying out transformational research at Vishwakarma University. According to a report by the World Resources Institute, as many as 54 % of India faces high to extremely high water stress, and the water quality is below standard, resulting in health hazards. It is thus imperative to provide drinking water in its cleanest form. To this end, the Water Quality Centre of Excellence promotes world-renowned water purification technology at a lower cost. The Centre aims at providing technological inventions so that the water does not lose its drinking quality during the purification process.
