The Department of Economics conducted an Educational Environment Visit on 27th December, 2024 at Environmental Sanitation Institute, Sughad for TY.BA Economic students.
This place is using natural passive cooling strategies for climate mitigation, harvesting over two million liters of water in a drought-prone region, recycling waste water through natural plant (reed-bed) processes, bio-gas generation and composting – all are key components of this project, an institute set up to increase knowledge of rural, low-cost sanitation solutions. The campus is built essentially with natural materials and integrates local crafts skills such as stone inlay and mosaic work. The ventilated two-leaf cavity walls are constructed from load-bearing bricks, with the outer face left exposed, for cost and aesthetic reasons.
The Group was cordially welcomed by Mr. Devendra Parekh, a senior facilitator of the institute, and proud alumnus of L. D. Arts College.
