About Centre for Green Energy and Environment
The Centre for Green Energy and Environment involves students in the greening initiatives to achieve a green and safe environment. As a part of the center, Herbal Garden has been set up with 150 medicinal plants that has been conditioned with vermicompost. Mushroom Cultivation Unit serves as a platform and offers Hands on Training to the students. Green Campus activities are rampant through Mission Clean Campus Programmes with the involvement of every department faculty member as well as the students to make the campus a clean and a plastic free zone. Maximum plant waste utilization for organic composting is made available. This encourages student members to participate in various greening initiatives to create awareness among fellow students and offers a sustainable solution for a safer environment.
Vision

Green Clean Campus
A green clean campus promotes sustainability and eco-friendly practices to create a healthier environment. It emphasizes waste management through recycling and composting, energy conservation with renewable sources, and water-saving techniques like rainwater harvesting. Green spaces, such as gardens and tree plantations, enhance biodiversity and improve air quality. Educational programs raise awareness about environmental issues among students and faculties. The use of green technologies ensures long-term benefits in reducing pollution, saving resources, and fostering a culture of sustainability. A green campus not only benefits the environment but also provides economic savings and promotes well-being. It serves as a model for future generations to embrace eco-conscious living.
Solar Energy
The objective of the solar energy unit is to empower the student community with basic fundamental knowledge to protect and rebuild the green earth atmosphere. Energy saving technologies are adopted in the college premises by installing street lights that function with solar energy. Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis.
Biogas and Solid Waste Management
Waste Management of kitchen waste through Biogas plant is initiated in our college premises. NASC campus has a functioning Biogas Plant which produces 3 Kg/day of biogas from 30 to 50 Kg of organic waste generated from kitchen and canteen. Biogas production represents a fascinating process for the recovery of nutrients and renewable energy from various organic waste streams, which can be done either by aerobic fermentation or by anaerobic fermentation. It catersto increase the requirement for biogas and fertilizer, the College campus plans to upgrade the production unit from 50 Kg to 100 Kg capacity per day for waste conversion using a cheaper and efficient technology for an efficient and sustainable waste management system.
Rain Water Conservation
As part of Green Campus initiative, the College has been aiming in making the campus independent of sustainable use of water. Through this initiative, rainwater harvesting system has been installed which is facilitated with roof top harvesting and the water is collected through pipelines and is taken to the recharge pits which is present behind the campus.
