This task force is assigned to perform preventive efforts within FKM UI and assist students in dealing with mental health problems.
Another effort made is the issuance of the Decree of the Dean of Faculty of Humanities (FIB) of UI Number: 1193/SK/F7.D/U1/2020 on the Appointment of a Counselling Lecturer for the Student Counselling Unit (UKM) of FIB UI. The decree confirms the commitment of FIB UI in supporting the mental health of students.

The counselling lecturer has an important role to facilitate counselling, guidance, and support to students dealing with mental health problems.
The aforementioned programs are examples of the commitment of UI and faculties to supporting the mental health of their students and staff. They provide a variety of resources and services from counselling services to training for lecturers as well as events to raise awareness. All aims to create a safer and more supportive environment for the entire society of academicians of UI. Through collaboration and mutual understanding between students, lecturers, staff, and authorities, UI strives to create a supportive environment, eliminate stigma, and provide the support needed for those experiencing mental health problems.
Universitas Indonesia (UI) has committed to creating a healthy and smoke-free environment throughout its campus. It is reflected in UI Rector’s Decree No. 1805 of 2011 on Smoke-Free Areas (KTR) at UI. This decree establishes Smoke-Free Areas within the UI environment, involving a ban on production, sales, advertising, promotion, and use of cigarettes in the campus rooms and areas.
UI KTR is an important measure in maintaining healthy and clean air quality in the campus environment. This decision is based on the consideration that cigarettes contain dangerous addictive substances for individual and public health. Therefore, protection against the dangers of smoking for health in a comprehensive, integrated, and sustainable manner is extremely required. Everyone has the right to healthy and clean air. Thus, this policy aims to create an environment that supports optimal public health.
One of the main objectives of implementing this UI Rector’s Decree is to increase work productivity and public services at UI, maintain healthy air quality, and reduce the number of smokers as well as prevent new smokers among UI society. Moreover, this policy also aims to generate a healthy and intelligent young generation of UI students

To support the implementation of UI KTR, a number of supporting activities have been conducted, one of which is the regular commemoration of World No Tobacco Day (HTTS). In 2022, the HTTS commemoration was conducted with the theme of “Tobacco: Threat to Our Environment” through webinars and campaigns on social media. This commemoration aimed to increase the awareness of the negative impact of smoking on the environment.
In addition, UI KTR signs and banners are installed in various strategic places such as canteens, bus stops, and at major events such as Graduation at UI Hall. It aims to provide visual information to all campus society about the smoking restrictions.

The Smoke-Free Area Policy is also implemented at Faculty of Engineering (FT) of UI. This is based on the understanding that air pollution in the environment of FT UI originates from various factors, including cigarette smoke. The impact of air pollution has the potential to be detrimental to human health and the environment as a whole. Therefore, FT UI has issued the Decree of the Dean of Faculty of Engineering (FT) of UI No 1604/D/SK/FTUI/2013 on Smoke-Free Area Policy at FT UI.
This policy includes the measures to create a Smoke-Free Area (KTR) within the FT UI environment, including prohibitions on smoking cigarettes in not specifically provided places as well as provisions regarding sponsors and scholarships related to cigarettes. In addition, Security Unit officers at FT UI are also prohibited from smoking while carrying out their duties and given the authority to reprimand the society of FT UI violating this policy. Sanctions are also imposed on violators, including fines and displaying photos in the FT UI environment.
Furthermore, Faculty of Computer Science (Fasilkom) also implements Policy on Smoke-Free Areas as well as Water and Electrical Energy Saving in the campus environment. It is specified in Circular No SE-001/UN2.F11.D/RTK.00/2019. This circular regulates measures to create a smoke-free environment and to save water and electrical energy at Fasilkom UI.

Overall, UI has taken numerous initiatives to create a healthy and smoke-free campus environment. UI KTR, with various supporting policies and activities, is a concrete manifestation of the commitment of UI to supporting the health of students and the entire society of academicians.
