IIM Nagpur's bid to promote green campus initiative
Nagpur: In a strong demonstration of its commitment to sustainability, the Indian Institute of Management Nagpur (IIM-N) celebrated World Environment Day by highlighting a series of impactful eco-friendly initiatives that position the institute as a leader in environmental stewardship among India's educational institutions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "At IIM Nagpur, we believe sustainability is not just something we learn in class — it should be part of how we build, run, and grow our campus. Our green campus efforts show how educational institutes can set an example by taking real action," said Dr Bhimaraya Metri, director of IIM Nagpur. IIM Nagpur's sustainability vision is anchored in six key projects that work in harmony to reduce the campus's environmental impact and promote green living. One of the most significant efforts is the integration of solar energy. A 2MW power project is underway which will make IIMN completely self-sustained for its energy needs. "Our solar infrastructure serves a dual purpose: reducing our carbon footprint and providing students with a live demonstration of renewable energy in action," Dr Metri added. Water conservation is another cornerstone of the institute's strategy. Rainwater harvesting systems are installed across the campus, recharging groundwater and reducing reliance on municipal water supplies, particularly during dry periods. In tandem, campus buildings have been designed with passive cooling, natural lighting, and energy-efficient insulation to minimise energy use for lighting and climate control. Wastewater is fully treated and reused for landscaping and other non-potable purposes through a closed-loop system, ensuring zero discharge into the environment. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The landscaping itself is thoughtfully planned, using native, drought-resistant plants that require minimal maintenance while supporting local biodiversity. IIM Nagpur is collaborating with HP Enterprise which will help to map and monitor our sustainability efforts. To commemorate World Environment Day, the IIM Nagpur community — faculty and staff — came together for a tree-planting drive in the campus, reinforcing their shared responsibility for the environment.
