NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF PHARMACEUTICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (NIPER),

S.A.S. Nagar ( Mohali)

First national level Institute in pharmaceutical sciences Inception 1994 . Institute of National importance by an act of Parliament, 1998 An autonomous body conceived to be the centre of excellence in education and research in pharmaceutical sciences.Offers Post doctoral, M.Pharm, M.Tech. (Pharm.), M.S. (Pharm.), M.B.A. (Pharm.) & Ph.D. Courses for critical high tech manpower development. Industry – academia interaction to promote healthcare of nation

INTRODUCTION

1. Built in 130 acres in sector – 67, S.A.S. Nagar part of Tricity (Chd & P’kula)

2. Located in south-east part of Tricity

3. A seasonal rivulet – enters north corner & exits near south corner.

To build as ecologically sustainable campus by :

a. Introducing green cover, especially plants with known medicinal value

b. Putting approx. 33% area under canopy cover

c. Introducing measures for an eco-friendly environment & life style

Sita Ashoka

A. Greening the campus• Medicinal Plant

garden• Avenue & boundary

plantation• Groves and Dels

B. Adopting green technologies

Planned Section of MPG

1. Planned development along major roads – green borders, green roads

2. More natural vegetation in the interiors – dotting with green

3. Reserve green areas along the rivulet – grouping of trees, thick shady areas (lungs of the campus)

Green Reserve Area

- Minimal removal of existing green cover

- Existing element integrated with introduced element

- Ecological balancing- No going back in

time20 year old tree

- A major section of MPG in 20 acres developed as Eco-garden

- Little disturbance-selective clearance

- Minimum interference- patch development

- Optimum development- Integration of structures

with surroundings

Eco-Garden

Canopy cover near 30% Lesser air pollution, 6

reserve areas act as lungs of campus

Minimum temperatures lower by 0.8 – 1ºC than the surrounding sectors

> 200 species of Medicinal plants in the campus, > 80 species of trees

Fauna : 7 types each of reptiles & birds, 4 types of mammals

Green buildings – few high rise, sunken windows, green pergolas

Effluent Management – ETP, strict chemical disposal regime, efficient solvent recovery.

No solid / pucca pavements - enough ground space for water percolation, moisture retention, sustaining ground water table

Adoption of CFL & LED technology Harnessing solar energy Water harvesting Paper & wood alternatives

• Adopting appropriate waste disposal regime

1.Domestic organic wastes – composting

2. Infectious / Animal wastes – incinerator

3.Radioactive wastes – as per guidelines

4.Chemical wastes - ETP

Incinerator

For each future development unit, we may have :

• Minimal green cover requirement• Minimal power substitution with non

conventional methods• Minimal water conservation requirements• Minimum no vehicle zone / area• Zero litter zones / areas• Minimal effluent generation
