For save energy mostly sunlight is used as a source of lightening in the major

parts of campus.

2. Use of Renewable Energy

Electricity generation from garbage is planned

Wind energy project is under process

3. Water Harvesting System

Design is under progress under the guidance of engineer best in this field(PAU

Senior Consultant)

4. Check Dam Construction: NA

5. Efforts for Carbon NeutralityCampus has a large green coverage which acts as a natural carbon sink. The

College at its own level has taken up certain preventive measures to check the

emission of carbon dioxide. All the vehicles are regularly checked for pollution

control to resist carbon emission and other hazardous wastages. The dead leaves and

waste paper are not burnt in the campus and instead they are put into compost pits.

The campus is totally plastic free. The design of campus is such that it maximizes

shady areas and use specific ventilation techniques that are reduce our reliance on AC.

Also the appliances used are energy efficient and they meet environmental standards.

research publications nationally and internationally by the faculty members.

Students are also highly motivated for doing innovative projects and won prizes in

technical competitions and published their research papers in conferences and

workshops. Students are also inclined to pursue higher education to quench their

thirst to acquire knowledge of modem technology. This helps to enrich the society

and improve the quality of life.

Sometimes high cost is involved in executing research activities specifically

concerning capital equipments. The management partially provides optimum funds

to implement the research practice to the possible extend. The institute also receives

funds from outside agencies, which greatly helps in upgrading research laboratories

and promoting this practice.
