Current scientific understanding indicates that humanity is rapidly altering the Earth’s ecological sys-
tems and consuming its natural resources in an unsustainable way. Resolving this crisis will require
total system transformation by adopting the principles of sustainability. Respect for life and living
within limits are two core principles to achieve this. We believe that higher education is in a unique po-
sition to lead this transformation. In fact, in the recent age, sustainability has become a critical re-
quirement for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) campuses. HEIs need to foster a culture of sustain
ability and promote green lifestyles in the campus community through curricular, co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities.
For meaningful and successful campus sustainability programs, clear strategies and goals must be
set and a comprehensive approach needs to be taken which not only integrate the built environment
but also goes beyond it and touches every aspect of learning, working, and living in campus. Creation
of a campus compatible with the surrounding natural and cultural environments, integration of sus-
tainable features into new building designs by adopting green building norms, enhancement of water
and energy use efficiency, utilization of materials, services and technologies with less negative envi-
ronmental impacts, efficient solid waste management are a few steps which are essential for campus
sustainability. However, the first step in the direction needs to be sustainability initiatives tied to overall
institutional strategy.
We understand that each (HEIs) has its unique environment and resources. Therefore, HEIs need to
develop their guidelines for campus sustainable development by adopting the proposed framework
in a locally appropriate way. The campus sustainability framework provided here aims to guide HEIs
to enable a sustainability transition with an aim to transform them into a “living laboratory” for sus-
tainable development. It is visualized that this initiative will formally integrate faculty, students and
support staff into university sustainability movement. Implementing this framework ‘SATAT’ is a pro-
cess of continual improvement in environmental, social and economic performance leading towards
sustainable development. Therefore, this is not a one time activity but a goal to be achieved through
incremental steps. I hope that our HEIs will adopt the ‘SATAT’ and contribute to India’s journey towards
fulfilling the promise made to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all the members of the Expert Committee for their
valuable contribution in developing a document on Campus Sustainability Framework in HEIs and for
completing the task well in time. I also acknowledge all the necessary support and for the relevant
inputs provided by Prof. Bhushan Patwardhan, Vice-Chairman, Prof. Rajnish Jain, Secretary and
Dr. (Mrs.) Renu Batra, Additional Secretary, UGC.
