NLSIU Giving Month - Focus Track: Sustainability & Student Welfare

Giving Month is NLSIU’s annual initiative to invite alumni support in jointly achieving the University’s development goals. Read more about Giving Month here.

Sustainability & Student Welfare

NLSIU’s growing student body is becoming increasingly diverse. Along with ensuring that students from diverse social, linguistic and economic backgrounds benefit from the University’s transformative education, there is a keen focus on accessibility for students with different physical and learning needs. 

The University has introduced the Endeavour program to assist students who need academic and personal support to aid their academic progress. The program, anchored by the Office of Student Affairs, supports students individually to enhance their core academic skills and provides curricular and extra-curricular support where needed. The goal of the program is to ensure that all students at the University can participate in all aspects of an NLSIU education.

As part of the master plan redevelopment on campus, the University will enhance accessibility resources, including developing a tactile pathway around the campus and the addition of resources such as screen readers and speech to text support in the library. NLSIU is committed to expanding its range of resources and support to all groups of users of the University and its facilities.

The University has progressed on its journey towards becoming a ‘net zero’ campus on energy, water and waste. The University now has waterless urinals, hybrid solar heat pumps, a rainwater harvesting system, a recycling and waste segregation system and organic produce for the hostel mess, among other initiatives. 

Enhancements to the rainwater harvesting system and building a sewage treatment plant will radically change water usage at NLSIU. The University seeks the support of the alumni community towards both these initiatives with a contribution of Rs 10 lakhs during Giving Month.
