c) Water harvesting:

The rain water harvesting is implemented in new buildings that are under construction. Rain

water harvesting is under process for all existing buildings in the main campus and the

panchavati campus.

d) Check dam construction:

The same is under consideration. Plan is on the way to store the storm water for the use of

garden.

e) Efforts for Carbon neutrality:

Majority of the rooms are non AC except for few locations (Director’s office, Audiology test

rooms, Board Room and Seminar Hall). Hence the carbon by product produced by the air

conditioners is minimal. The greenery around the institute helps to neutralize whatever

carbon by products that are generated. In the rest of the campus too, there is no other source

which generates carbon by-products.

f) Plantation:

The Horticulture section of the institute has planted and maintained different varieties of

flowering trees, ornamental trees and shrubs to keep the institute free from pollution and

maintain aesthetics. Tree planting programmes are conducted frequently in a year. The

previous year alone, the institute has planted 120 saplings in 5 acres and this was supported

and carried out by staff and students of the institute. The section also has a nursery of its own

where different saplings are developed and the same is used for planting.

g) Hazardous waste management:

The wastes generated from the campus are segregated as degradable and bio-degradable. The

degradable wastes are used to prepare manure and bio-degradable wastes are disposed

through an agency hired for the purpose.

h) e-waste management:

No major e-waste is generated. The minor ones are disposed through auction to competent

agencies who handle such waste and the process is conducted two to three times in a year.
