Best Practice
Title of Practice: Green Campus Initiative- Planting of Saplings
Goal
To increase environmental awareness among students, staff of the college.
To minimize the environmental pollution in and around college campus.
To take up rain harvesting.
To use renewable energy resource using solar energy.
To support and implement clean campus
The Context
Clean environment is the basic necessity for human being for health and efficiency. Mostly
limited availability of public transport compelled increased use of personal vehicles which is
one of the reasons to increase pollution in and around campus. Chemical experimentation in
the college laboratories emits greenhouse gases (GHG). It adds to the environmental
pollution. Water is scarce natural resource hence needs to be used rationally. Solar energy can
be the potential replacement for conventional electricity.
The Practice
The Green Campus Initiative practices are as follows:
The College took the initiative for the academic year 2014-2015. Two solar panels have been
installed at roof top. Using these solar panels we are providing the hot water to the students in
the hostel. The backup of this system is about 6 hours per day. Solar Distillation Plant having
distillation capacity 5000 litre capacity tank is installed. Department of Physics has taken
initiative in starting renewable energy course as one of the specialized. UPS have also been
installed in the campus where even if electricity goes, the computers and other labs work
without any interruption.
Evidence of Success
Electricity failure will not affect the running of equipments and light along with water during
the period of power cut by BESCOM due to solar system installation and UPS. Electricity
bills are reduced and we have achieved 50 per cent power saving with discount in the
electricity bill. Continuous water supply is available even during the period of water scarcity.
Problem of disposal of garbage is solved where the BBMP person will regularly visit and
take the waste material.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required
These activities have been initiated based on the available funds and those could be further
enhanced upon receiving funding for the same.
