Green Initiatives

Green Campus Initiatives have led to the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices within the institution. These initiatives aim at reducing the ecological footprint and promoting sustainability which not only help in mitigating environmental impact but also provide students, faculty, and staff with an opportunity to engage in practices that foster a culture of environmental responsibility. Green spaces and healthier campus environments (Eat Right Campus) contribute to the physical and mental well-being of students and staff. Hosting sustainability-focused events have helped raise awareness about the importance of environmental conservation and immersed the campus community in green initiatives. The institutional environment and energy initiatives are confirmed through Green audit, Energy audit, Environment audit, clean and green campus recognitions/awards and beyond the campus environmental promotional activities.
