7.1.7 – Initiatives taken by the institution to make the campus eco-friendly (at least five)

1) University in association with NSS created awareness among the society withthe three magic words “Reduce”, “Reuse” and “Recycle” by displaying signboards

in various places of the University. 2) University faculty and studentsbelieves in walk, use of University and public transport and Car pool system.3) Organic waste management system – Treating the solid waste generated in the

kitchens of hostels and using as manure in gardens of the campus. 4) Incollaboration with NSS, all the departments of the University have been

involved in plantation programs to make campus green. University has beenorganizing Earth Day and Ozone day in the campus as well as in the affiliatedcolleges to create environmental awareness among the Students. 5) Energy is

conserved in the campus by using LED lights in the place of filament bulbs forillumination. Buildings of the campus are with double height slabs and with

good ventilation, which reduces the use of air conditioners. 6) All CRTmonitors of the desktop systems are being replaced with LCD/LED Monitors. 7)Every year, Department of Fine Arts organizing a campaign on making of eco-

friendly Ganesha (Clay Ganesha).

7.2 – Best Practices

7.2.1 – Describe at least two institutional best practices

BEST PRACTICE 1 - Ex situ Conservation, Macro propagation and distribution ofMedicinal, Endemic and threatened plants collected from Eastern Ghats of India:

Ex-situ conservation of indigenous particularly Endemic and Threatened(Critically Endangered, Endangered and Vulnerable) plant species, their

multiplication, Re-introduction and re-habilitation of said plants in naturalhabitats in collaboration with State Forest Department on project basis.

Establishment of seed banks, arboreta and mist propagation facilities and alsoto promote education and public awareness in respect of above said plants. TheUniversity is located in a campus spread on 652 acres of land an area of about20 acres is exclusively earmarked for the development of a botanical garden.

The development of the garden was initially facilitated with financial supportfrom the University. A unique aspect of this botanic garden is the development

of one acre of land with artificial hilly mounds established to maintainnatural hill forests ecosystem. The Hill County Natural Plantarum is

conceptually something unique for the region. The Red Sanders Plantarum is alsoan excellent example of an arboretum section conserving a threatened tree

species. Presently Botanical garden houses 1800 species and 10,000 plants whichinclude herbal and medicinal plants. The layout of the botanic garden is

excellent with about 24 thematic sections, including Medicinal Plants Section,

Hill County Natural Plantarum, Tropical Fruit Plantarum, Red Sanders Plantarum,Rock Garden, Rose Garden, Bambusetum, Sacred Plants Section, Cacti SucculentsSection, Fern House, Orchid House, Lily pond, etc. This botanical garden is oneof the largest botanic gardens in the State of Andhra Pradesh and it is reallydoing excellent work in terms of ex situ conservation of rare, endemic andthreatened (RET) plants of the Eastern Ghats. In collaboration with District

Forest Authorities, University organizing plantation programmes anddistributing medicinal and avenue plants to students and local villagers withthe aim to keep the campus clean and green. The objective of the programs wasto create awareness among the students and public regarding the importance ofendemic and threatened plants. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has beenreached this day of 31-03-2017 between the Ministry of Environment, ForestClimate Change, GOI and YOGI VEMANA UNIVERSITY with respect to implement thescheme Assistance to Botanic Garden (ABG) vide Ministrys sanction letter No.10/16/2016-CS/BG dated 31-03-2017 for total amount of Rs. 88,13,640-00 for a

period of 3 years. Title of the Project: “Ex situ Conservation and Propagationof Threatened and Endemic plants of Eastern Ghats of India”. The objectives ofthe project are i) Continue professional protection and care for existing treesand shrubs ii) Continue planting trees and shrubs as needed to maintain a safe

and diverse urban forest that promotes learning iii) Utilize the latesttechnology to document and monitor species, size, location, and maintenanceactivities iv) Continue to keep the tree inventory in the campus v) ContinueUniversity landscape management with a functional approach to screening,environmental balance, and aesthetic design vi) Utilize the knowledge of

Landscape Services arborists and horticultural professionals to make managementdecisions in regards to tree maintenance and removal vii) Create programs thatprovide education about the maintenance and growth of woody plant species andtheir proper use in the landscape. Grow a diverse range of both native and non-

native woody plant species that can be viewed for their natural beauty andutilized for learning, recreation, and to bolster energy and storm water

conservation efforts. Create plant collections throughout campus to enhancestudy among related species and native/non-native trees. Organized “Go Green

Program” to promote awareness on plants conservation. BEST PRACTICE 2 –Conducting an advanced/applied research on “Industrial by-product crude

glycerol as a source of photocatalytic hydrogen generation using Ni(OH)2/TiO2nanotubes”: A few TiO2 nanotubes based nanocomposite photocatalysts reported byDepartment of Materials Science and Nanotechnology claimed to show enhancedrate of hydrogen production utilizing natural solar light irradiation. Crude

glycerol (10 w/w) is produced as a substantial byproduct during the industrialproduction of biodiesel via transesterification processes. Catalytic hydrogen(H2) generation by utilizing crude glycerol and solar light is considered as apromising avenue. The present work illustrates enhanced rates of H2 generationand co-catalyst behavior of Ni(OH)2 decorated on TiO2 nanotubes dispersed inaqueous crude glycerol solution (industrial byproduct) under solar light

irradiation. The optimal loading of Ni leads to a high rate of photocatalyticH2 generation of 4719 ?mol h–1 gcat–1 and it is ?12-fold higher than pristineTiO2 nanotubes. The solar light energy conversion efficiency of the optimizedcatalyst and cost benefit analysis by using crude glycerol are also evaluated.The high electronegativity of Ni(OH)2 quantum dots present on the surface ofTNT may facilitate effective shuttling of photoexcitons, thereby largelypreventing electron–hole recombination in TiO2 during photocatalysis.
