    AICTE Sustainability Initiatives

    AICTE performs no activities that causes emissions in the environment. AICTE


    envision that the engineers graduating from the affiliating institutions are made
    responsible citizens of the world and are responsible towards environmental
    concerns.

    1. AICTE through its Approval Process handbook mandates environment


    improvement measures, Green Campus, Waste Management, Rain Water
    Harvesting and Sewage Disposal System in all 9672 technical institutes
    which are approved by AICTE

    2. AICTE promotes use of environment improvement measures, Green energy


    ie. solar rooftops/ Power Systems, Plastic Free Campus, Rain Water
    Harvesting, Waste Management in all institutions through annual
    approval process.

    3. AICTE implements a one student, one tree initiative every year during the
    month of July and August under which students are required to plant one
    tree during the event. Every student takes care of the tree planted by
    themselves and builds the environment.

    4. The Jal Shakti Abhiyan, built in collaboration with Principal Scientific


    Advisor of India, intends to mobilize 30,000 students to provide local
    solutions to rising issues of conservation of water resources in selected
    districts based on the Bhuvan application developed by ISRO.

    5. Clean and Smart Campus award aims to seek engagement with all
    stakeholders, primarily the student community to draw their attention
    towards immense scope and potential that the Technology offers for
    abstract objectives such as cleanliness, sustainability, environment etc.

    Impact of AICTE Sustainability Initiatives


    One Student One Tree
    As an incentive for carrying out plantation, Student were awarded 20 “AICTE
    Activity Point” as defined in Chapter 6 of AICTE Internship Policy.
    One exclusive portal was developed by students, so that institutions can submit the
    data of planted trees along with one picture of plantation drive (preferably group of
    students with the saplings) on the portal.
    All Faculty Members, Staff, Administration and Management of the Institutions were
    also requested to lead by example, by planting at least one tree themselves. More
    than 30 lakh trees have been planted till 2019. AICTE is committed to take it further
    and reach the target of 1 crore tree plantation.

    Jal Shakti Abhiyan


    The Jal Shakti Abhiyan is aimed to accelerate water harvesting, conservation and
    bore well recharge activities in 256 water-stressed districts.
    AICTE has mapped more than 40000 engineering students with the District
    administration so that these students can work under JAL Shakti Abhiyan activities
    in their respective blocks. Most of the student participation is from the state of Tamil
    Nadu which is most hit due to present water crises.
    The PSAs office in close coordination with the ACTE is mobilising 40,000 students
    referred to as Jal Vigyan Swayamsevaks from around the country in order to support
    the officials visiting their designated blocks. The students play key role in supporting
    teams in data collection for planning, triangulating data and findings and supporting
    research and development efforts for future interventions.

    Students of KCES' College of Engineering and Information Technology Jalgaon with


    the help of District administration have undertaken a project for revival of age-
    old traditional village pond. The Village Chinchkheda SIM, Tehsil Bodwad, District
    Jalgaon in Maharashtra was severely affected by water scarcity over a decade.
    Firstly, the institution /organization imparted series of trainings on technical, social
    and managerial aspect of the program in the village and as a result the community
    got involved in all aspects and owned the program and completed the work in just
    45 days. The outcome of the work done is the village became water sustainable.

    Students of Civil Engineering Department of D. Y. Patil College of Engineering,


    Akurdi, Pune with the guidance of Dy. Collector selected Purandar Tehsil for water
    conservation activities. 34 students participated in the various Water conservation
    and awareness creation activities

    Clean and Green Campus Awards

    AICTE had launched the “Clean Campus Award” in the year 2017. In 2019, it is
    renamed the “CLEAN AND SMART CAMPUS AWARD 2019”, to recognise the efforts
    of the institutes and its stake holders for attaining the intended objectives of
    cleanliness and smartness.

    The main objective of this award is not only to bring attention of the students, faculty
    and institutions towards the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan but also to realize them that
    how smartly they can reduce the consumption or exploitation of natural resources
    such as paper, water, energy by deployment of digital technology. Other aspects such
    as effective waste management, sustainable transport, air pollution etc can also be
    achieved by ‘smart’ use of technologies
