Project Evergreen Iitb [hot] Online

As one faculty lead put it: “We are not greening IITB for the institute’s sake alone. We are building a replicable model for every Indian campus — showing that development and ecology can, in fact, be synonyms.”

1. Introduction: A Vision for a Greener Tomorrow The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB), nestled in the verdant Powai hills, has long been recognized for its academic excellence. However, beyond its reputation as a premier engineering institute, IITB is also home to one of the most ecologically diverse urban campuses in India. Recognizing the dual threats of climate change, rapid urbanization, and biodiversity loss, the institute launched Project Evergreen — a holistic, long-term sustainability mission aimed at transforming the 550+ acre campus into a net-zero, water-positive, and biodiversity-rich habitat. project evergreen iitb
