GGU to be first in Gujarat to have Green Administrative Block

During the COP26 conference in Glasgow last year, PM announced Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE), a global movement, to protect and preserve our environment. He had called upon the international community to lead LiFE as an international movement. Recently, he also emphasised on the principle to reduce, reuse, and recycle to save our planet. Aligning itself with this, GGU has decided to build a Green Building on its campus.

GGU will be the first state university in Gujarat to have an Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) certified Green Administrative Block which will be an energy and water-efficient building with better indoor environment quality, thereby reducing operation costs by 30-40 per cent. It will benefit 1.50 lakh students, 1,500 professors, 838 PhD students, 239 colleges, and eight buildings.
