An autonomous institution should be able to account for what it consumes. This is our open ledger — energy, water, waste, mobility, biodiversity, curriculum — refreshed each November after the audit cycle. Reviewed by the Internal Quality Assurance Cell.
In 2020 we ran on 28% solar. In 2025, after the third rooftop expansion, that's 62% — and the campus runs net-zero on weekday afternoons through most of the year. The remaining gap is in lab-equipment cycles and HVAC, both queued for the 2026-27 phase.
Programs are organized along the six dimensions audited under the AICTE Clean & Smart Campus directive.
Solar-first electricity, LED retrofit across all 21 blocks, smart-metering on every floor, and a heat-recovery campaign for the print labs.
Five rainwater-harvesting tanks (combined 4.2 lakh litres), drip irrigation across 8 acres, dual-flush retrofits, and the no-bottled-water policy in offices.
Six-stream segregation at source. In-vessel composting handles all wet waste; e-waste collected through authorised CPCB recyclers.
Two campus EV shuttles, secure parking for 800 cycles, and a BIET-DVG city-bus pass scheme negotiated with KSRTC.
1,400 trees catalogued in the annual census; 4 acre miyawaki forest planted in 2023; bee-keeping pilot in the agriculture-engineering plot.
Sustainability is a graded module in three of nine UG branches. Final-year SDG-aligned projects compulsory across all departments.
Active alignment with 9 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We map every research project and curriculum module to at least one SDG.
The IQAC publishes the green-audit summary each November. Carbon, water and waste numbers are independently verified by an external auditor every two years; the latest verification was in October 2024.
Raw data — meter readings, water flows, waste tonnage — is available on request to researchers and journalists.
