BEST PRACTICES
Green Initiatives
ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES
The Campus maintains multiple solar panels to derive energy from natural sources. Every block in the institution has individual power control panels and energy meters installations, which help in individual effective monitoring and control of energy consumption.
The UPS batteries are maintained in good condition and regularly checked, which reduces energy consumed for charging batteries. Energy conserving lights like CFL, T5 tube lights and LED’s are used in the campus. Informative Posters are put up in all departments educating Students regarding the necessity of energy conservation.
RAIN WATER HARVESTING
The rain water gets collected at every block and fed into a rain water harvesting tank to preserve the underground water. From the tank water is carried to overhead tanks and used for various purposes. Rain water is collected in 8 tanks installed in HemuKalani block which is of capacity of 2000 litres. Overhead tanks are of the capacity of 5000 litres. 90 % of water used in the building is through rainwater harvesting.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Solid Waste Management
The accumulated dry or wet waste in our campus are segregated in different dustbins maintained in 3 different colours – Red colour for domestic hazard waste, blue colour for non biodegradable waste & green colour for biodegradable waste, and are placed in each floor.Posters are displayed insisting the students to drop the waste accordingly.
Waste converter
Waste accumulated is segregate and processed in organic waste converter- rNature converter machines from Reddonatura..The machine is having the capacity of 100 kg/day machine weight 600 kg appr. ,dimensions (ft)7.5(l) x 3(w) x 4.2(h) FT. Waste which is segregated is added to the machine. The waste is then composted with the help of microorganisms that convert organic waste into compost. The machine uses ‘Thermophile Extremophile’ bacteria that is known to thrive in high temperature and are effective in high acidic or salty conditions. After 24–36 hours, the compost is ready. It looks like dry soil and is an excellent medium for growing plants. The compost produced is usually only about 10% of the quantity of waste the machine began with.
Liquid Waste Management
Sewage treatment plant is installed in the campus for purifying the gutter water. The gutter water goes through various stages of filtering and finally water is collected in tanks. An average of 2 lakh litres is filtered and conserved. The Water Purification Plant which purifies and treats the sewage water & cafeteria effluent is then reused in areas like the garden and sports field.
GREEN PRACTICE
The institution displays sensitivity to issues like climate change and environmental issues. It adopts environment friendly practices and takes necessary actions such as – energy conservation, rain water harvesting, waste recycling, carbon neutral etc. Paper wastage is disposed of and the dry dead leaves are buried in the soil to protect the campus from getting polluted. One sided sheets are used for reducing wastage. Students enthusiastically take part in Tree Plantation Programs which are regularly organized.The environmental consciousness is given priority at the time of making strategic plan for development.
