The Great Power Race ends

GPR-BPKKBGC
The race finally comes to an end. The projects have been completed and the final reports submitted. The winner gets crowned at the COP16 in Cancun, Mexico. We are among the top 10 green campuses of the world with others from India, China and the US.
Irrespective of the result, everyone emerges a winner. Each campus and each student who participated in the race, through their registrations and the completion of projects have shown their commitment towards the environment and towards building a greener future.

For us, this was a unique opportunity to showcase our continuing efforts to make our campus green. It was a medium to network with other people working towards the same goal and mutually share our resources and ideas. We completed 50 projects through the course of the competition. We studied the current systems, management plans, conducted eco-audits, energy tours, plantatons, clean-up drives, awareness campaigns, competitions, exhibitions, celebrated green diwali, saved a beach, etc. among other activities. We thank everyone for their support and dedication!

The race may have ended, but our efforts won't. Giving way to the next big plan on our agenda for this year.

This Quark, we introduce for the first time, a dedicated panel of green events focusing sectors like Clean Energy, Green Buildings, Agricultural Efficiency, Rural Electrification and Urban Waste Management.
This Quark, we GO GREEN!



This will provide a perfect platform for the participants, professionals and policy makers to come together and deliberate on the solutions to the chronic problems of the society and the world today. It also creates an ideal environment for spreading awareness about the development sector and usage of clean and efficient energy. We plan to organise guest lectures, exhibitions and workshops on renewable energy, environment protection and sustainability. Apart from these events, we will aim at making the festival sustainable, spread awareness and reduce the environmental impact as far as possible.
The events include GanGreen, Eco-Architect and Bhagirath.

We invite everyone to indulge in this technical extravaganza.
Registrations now open!

Let us GO GREEN !!
