Nagpur: In a strong demonstration of its commitment to sustainability, the Indian Institute for Management Nagpur (IIM-N) celebrated the World Day of the World Environmental Envelope by highlighting a number of effective environmentally friendly initiatives that the institute positions as a leader in environmental administration under Indian education institutions.“At Iim Nagpur, we believe that sustainability is not just something that we learn in class – it should be part of the structure, running and growth of our campus. Our efforts around the green campus show how educational institutions can give an example by taking real measures,” said Dr. Bhimaraya Metri, director of Iim Nagpur. The sustainability vision of IIM Nagpur is anchored in six key projects that work in harmony in order to reduce the environmental impact of the campus and promote environmentally friendly life. One of the most important efforts is the integration of solar energy. It is a 2 MW electricity project in progress that makes IIMN completely self-supporting for its energy requirement.“Our solar infrastructure fulfills a double purpose: reduction of our CO2 footprint and the provision of a live demonstration of renewable energies in action,” added Dr. Metri added.Water protection is another cornerstone of the institute's strategy. Rainwater usage systems are installed on the campus, the groundwater is charged again and reduces the dependence on municipal water supply, especially in dry periods. In Tandem, campus buildings with passive cooling, natural lighting and energy -efficient insulation were developed to minimize energy consumption for lighting and air conditioning.Wastewater is fully treated and reused for landscape design and other non-potential purposes by a closed system in order to ensure the unloading of zero into the environment. The landscape design itself is carefully planned, whereby locals are used, which use minimal maintenance and at the same time support the local biological diversity.Iim Nagpur works with HP Enterprise to map and monitor our sustainability efforts.To commemorate the World Environment Day, the IIM Nagpur Community Faculty and employee to a tree plant drive came together on the campus and strengthened its common responsibility for the environment.
