Policy Document on the Green Campus

Green Campus: A green campus is an area where sustainable and eco-friendly practices are
promoted through education and environmental friendly actions. The lush green college campus
idea gives an organization the chance to take the lead in reinventing its environmental culture
and forging new paradigms by developing sustainable solutions to the requirements of mankind
in the areas of the environment, society, and the economy.

The Go Green Program's goals are: Establishing a functional Green-Campus Committee inside
the Institute's organizational framework is the first stage in the Go Green Program.

Therefore, institute releases a POLICY DOCUMENT outlining the strategies, plans, and other
related activities to officially launch this Program in order to offer this endeavor greater
credibility and clarity.

We think that going green is all about eliminating wasteful inefficiencies, using conventional
energy sources for daily power demands, processing waste properly, buying eco-friendly
products, and having a successful recycling programme. The Institute's administration is of the
opinion that everyone must devise time-bound plans for putting into action green campus
activities. In order to create a clean and green campus, these techniques must be implemented
into the institutional planning and budgeting procedures. Every person on the Dronacharya
Group of Institutions Campus shall put out effort—students, instructors, and support staff
included—to promote an environment-friendly campus and a culture of self-sustainability.
