CAMPUS


Executive Summary


The rapid urbanization and economic development at local, regional and global level has led to several environmental and ecological crises. On this background it becomes essential to adopt the system of the Green Campus for the institute which will pave way for sustainable development. SVCET believes that there is an urgent need to address these fundamental environmental problems and reverse the trends. The purpose of the audit was to ensure that the practices followed in the campus are in accordance with the Green Policy adopted by the institution.

It works on the several facets of ‘Green Campus’ including Water Conservation, Tree Plantation, Waste Management, Paperless Work, and Alternative Energy. With this in mind, the specific objectives of the audit were to evaluate the adequacy of the management control framework of environment sustainability as well as the degree to which the Departments are in compliance with the applicable regulations, policies and standards. It can make a tremendous impact on student health and learning college operational costs and the environment. The criteria, methods and recommendations used in the audit were based on the identified risks.

Green Area Management


This includes the plants, greenery and sustainability of the campus to ensure that the buildings conform to green standards. This also helps in ensuring that the Environmental Policy enacted, enforced and reviewed using various environmental awareness programs.

Campus is located in the vicinity of many trees (species) to maintain the bio- diversity. Various tree plantation programs are being organized at college campus and surrounding villages through NSS (National Service Scheme) unit. This program helps in encouraging eco-friendly environment which provides pure oxygen within the institute and awareness among villagers. The plantation program includes various type of indigenous species of ornamental and medicinal wild plant species. The college cultivates vegetables for its own use through organic farming initiatives.

Green Initiatives


The list of few important green initiatives and good environmental practices adopted by the campus is given below.

  • Rainwater harvesting pits are constructed at appropriate locations to improve local ground water table.
  • Installed solar Plant to meet partial power requirement of the Campus
  • Replaced 60% of CFL lights with LED lights as part of energy conservation measures. Also, some of the old fans were replaced with energy efficient super fans.
  • Engagement of authorized paper recycling vendor to manage bulk paper waste generated.
  • Establishment of Organic Cultivation.
  • Celebration Of World Environment Day and creating Environment Awareness to all Students & Staffs.
  • Restricted movement of vehicles inside the campus. Parking space inside campus is provided for vehicles; however, no movement of vehicles inside campus is encouraged.
  • Awareness posters on resource conservation, good sanitation and hygiene drive.
  • Strictly follow the Plastic Free zone inside the campus is encouraged.

Carbon Foot Printing


Carbon Footprint refers to the potential climatic impact (Global Warming) of the Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emitted directly or indirectly due to an organization’s activities. A Carbon Footprint Disclosure of any educational institution is very important to understand such that its key emission sources can be identified and necessary mitigation measures can be adopted for carbon reduction. In today’s date, very few colleges disclose their carbon emissions. SVCET under Anna University has taken a initiative to compute its carbon footprint and set a benchmark for other Colleges/Universities. The college has adopted a carbon reduction strategy to undertake this project.

Objectives Of Carbon Foot Printing


  • Identify key emission sources of GHG at the campus
  • Compute Scopes of emissions for operations carried out at SVCET Campus
  • Analyze the results and provide cost effective & efficient measures for reducing the GHG emissions.
