The genesis of TERI University is rooted in the comprehensive research, consultancy, and outreach activities of TERI, a not-for-

profit independent research institute recognized globally for its contribution to scientific and policy research in the realms of energy, environment, and sustainable development. TERI was established in 1974, and by 1982 it had initiated research activities in the fields of Energy, Environment, and Sustainable Development. These activities provided environment-friendly platforms to address a host of issues ranging from rural energy issues, to shaping the development of the Indian oil and gas sector, tackling global climate change across the continents, enhancing forest conservation efforts among local communities, advancing solutions to growing urban transport and air pollution problems and promoting energy efficiency in the Indian industry. TERI has come a long way and is now a dynamic organization with a staff strength of over 1,000, drawn from multidisciplinary and highly specialized fields. Its offices and regional centres, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, are involved in a diverse range of activities. TERI is the largest developing-country institution working to move the society towards a sustainable future through training, capacity-building, and education. Recognized as a deemed university by the University Grants Commission (UGC) in 1999, the

higher education arm of TERI operated initially under the name of TERI School of Advanced Studies, but was later renamed as TERI University on 5 October 2006, when UGC regulations were relaxed.

AdministrationThe University has a Board of Management, which is responsible for its overall administration and control. The Chancellor is the Chairman of the Board. The Academic Council decides the academic policy. The Council approves curricula, courses, and examination results. It appoints committees to look into specific academic matters arising from time to time. The Vice-Chancellor is the Chairperson of the Academic Council. The Finance Committee renders financial advice. Dr R K Pachauri is the Chancellor of the University, Dr Leena Srivastava the Vice-Chancellor, and Dr Rajiv Seth, is the Registrar of the University.

Structure The University has evolved an organizational structure drawing on the research activities of TERI.Besides the core teaching staff of the University, staff of TERI with PhDs and rich research experience of working on projects in various areas function as adjunct faculty.

The academic programmes of the University integrate the research experience gained in TERI into the academic curricula to provide a practical and contemporary context to learning. Having begun with doctoral programmes in 2001, TERI University has gone on to offer various masters degrees since 2003. The doctoral programmes and research centre around four basic themes: natural resources management, biotechnology, policy and regulation, and energy and environment. Around 100 students are currently enrolled in the doctoral programmes and 600 in the master’s programmes. The M Sc programmes (Environmental Studies, Natural Resources Management) started with the setting up of the Department of Natural Resources through an endowment from the Ford Foundation. These programmes are now in their tenth year. In 2005, the University was entrusted with the task of introducing a master’s programme in Public Policy and Sustainable Development for mid-career civil servants of the Government of India; the first batch of students were enrolled in January 2006.The year also saw the first batch of students inducted into the new MBA programme in Infrastructure. This is a unique programme catering to the growing infrastructure demands envisaged for India and has been supported by chairs from the National Thermal Power Corporation and the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation. In 2009, the University has launched four new master’s programmes—an M Sc in Climate Science and Policy, an M Sc in Economics, an MBA in Business Sustainability, and an M Tech in Renewable Energy Engineering and Management. In 2010, an MA programme in Sustainable Development Practice was launched. It is supported by the MacArthur Foundation. TERI University was

one of the 10 institutions chosen worldwide, by the Foundation, for support. The TERI University was, recently, awarded the 'India Today' award for the most innovative curriculum.

CollaborationsIn February 2002, TERI University entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies of the yale University. Since 2005, with support from the VK Rasmussen Foundation, there has been a regular exchange of faculty and students between the two universities. The TERI University also has MoUs with the University of Iceland, Michigan State University, North Carolina State University, and Freie University, Berlin. These inter-institutional MoUs are aimed at facilitating a mutually beneficial exchange of students, faculty, knowledge, resources, and ideas.

The Road AheadThe TERI University has been set up as an institution of higher learning to meet the needs of a rapidly developing India. While it draws strength from the ethos and traditions of India, as a global institution it reaches out to source knowledge from across the globe. Its key strength also lies in the reservoir of knowledge, experience, and research of the parent body, TERI. TERI University has, since October 2008, been operating from its energy-efficient, green campus at Vasant Kunj in New Delhi. The state-of-the-art teaching facilities, the vibrant academic environment and the richness of programmes that have been launched represent a refreshing flavour of innovation and a strong relevance for addressing the challenges of tomorrow.

TERI University is a unique institution of higher learning that benefits from the enormous range of cutting edge research carried out by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). The challenge of improving the environment, both at the local and global level is an issue that is increasingly engaging the attention of corporate organizations in India and abroad and, of course, governments and civil society in general. TERI University’s MSc programmes are designed specifically to help organizations, particularly in the corporate sector, meet challenges that are emerging throughout the world, with emphasis on emerging public attitudes and regulatory regimes for protecting the environment. These programmes are also of great value to the scientific community, policy-makers, as well as representatives of civil society. Given the practical orientation of all the work that TERI carries out, the University’s programmes are necessarily interdisciplinary in nature and focus on problem solving. Students who graduate would, therefore, be uniquely qualified to undertake major initiatives in the efficient management of natural resources and the prevention of environmental pollution. TERI University’s programmes equip students to solve problems in these fields at source rather than through end-of-pipe interventions. These save costs and result in longer-term benefits for the organizations concerned and for society at large.

R K Pachaurichancellor, TERI University

TERI University aims to create a workforce that is empowered to better align sustainability considerations in the pursuit of economic growth and human well-being. For doing so, we ensure that the enormous learning we have from TERI on the diverse, yet inter-related, aspects of Sustainable Development, enhanced with the research and knowledge of our own faculty members, is used to create cutting edge, inter-disciplinary curricula. This curriculum also benefits from a continuous feedback from academic peers at the national and global levels, from the employers of our students and from the students themselves—resulting in refined content and pedagogy on an annual basis. The active engagement of international faculty members and guest lecturers, alongwith the presence of international students on campus, ensures that a TERI University student not only qualifies as a “sustainability professional” but is also comfortable in a multicultural setting. With a set of identifiable areas of domain expertise, these students have the unique advantage of appreciating the roles and contributions of different disciplines in finding solutions for complex real-life challenges. Engagement with research projects, industry exposure and field visits—including, in some cases, international exchanges—all contribute to the making of these well-rounded individuals who are seeking to engage usefully with global development processes. We are sure that you will appreciate the value that TERI University students bring to the workforce and will, while deploying them productively in your organization, encourage them to hone their skills further for the greater good. We would, of course, at all times value any feedback that you would like to offer us.

Field TripsEcology Field TripsThe ecology trips gave a chance to different groups to observe and compare the ecosystems of the Northern Ridge Forest, Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary, Forest patches in Jawaharlal Nehru University and the Aravalli Biodiversity Park. Student groups, then, looked into how the conditions and resources affected the ecosystems of plants. They learned to observe phenomenon hitherto only theoretically perceived.

Biodiversity Field trip to sitamata WlsA visit to Sitamata Wildlife Sanctuary in Rajasthan was conducted towards aiming at giving the students a hands-on training at understanding the ecosystem dynamics of a forest system including the human aspect. Teams of students were assigned to various activities leading them to learn techniques and methodologies of planning the framework and then carrying out vegetation assessment, animal diversity assessment, and social analysis. It also helped imbibe the cultural aspects and how it affects management of resources. Students had interaction with local media, forest department officials and people living in and around the sanctuary.

Kaziranga national Park, assamThe fieldwork for Mitigation of Climate Change was conducted in the vast grasslands of Kaziranga National Park in Assam where semi-structured interviews and calculation of carbon stock of soil samples were carried out. The status of the park and how conservation actions affect livelihood of the local people with respect to climate change were assessed. The experience was not only informative but was also highly rewarding and enjoyable as it allowed first hand interaction with nature.

ProjectsEnvironmental monitoringUnder this, students formed teams and applied various techniques of environmental pollution analysis that they learned to get an understanding of ground scenario. This helped students to know the diversity of existing problems in current situation and how to prepare frameworks to analyze a problem of environmental pollution. Projects included a wide range, from air pollution to groundwater and drinking water to wastewater issues.

municipal solid Waste assessmentAfter learning theoretical aspects of MSW management, students did a practical exercise to know composition and quantity of MSW in Delhi. Samples were collected from different parts of Delhi by various groups of students and then analysis was carried out to know physical and chemical composition. This exercise was aimed at giving students a real-time experience in Solid Waste Management problems andtogethandsontraininginhandlingsurveysandanalysis.Quantificationwasdonebasedondatacollected during sampling and per capita waste generation was also calculated.

Urban heat Islands (UhI)The fieldwork for Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation was designed at understanding the effect of water bodies on Urban Heat Islands at Patparganj and Dwarka, Delhi. It was aimed at isolating maladaptive factors and proposed possible solutions to combat UHI.


Visits to Institute/Facilitiesvermicomposting site visitThe one day excursion to the site was preceded by a talk at University. IPCA’s two acre facility of vermicomposting in Greater Noida collects waste from 3 km clusters. Knowledge of how waste is collected, sorted, and especially observing operation of vermicomposting with explanations right from choice of earthworm species to maintenance of process and economics of whole SWM benefitted students enormously.

IIT-Delhi visitStudents visited IIT-Delhi to gain in-depth understanding of Hydrology. This visit helped them learn properties of a drainage basin and how they could be altered by various parameters like the type of vegetation, topography, order of streams, etc. Concepts of run-off, time of concentration, discharge rate, unit hydrograph were also apprehended. This provided a scope for the interested students, to delve further into the area.

And More…aahvanThe annual cultural fest came into existence in the year 2009 and for the last two years, the students of the University have put up a successful show every year. It provides a platform to students from all over the country to showcase their skills, talent and wit! 2011 saw participation all the way from down south through central India and up north. From business schools to under-graduate colleges of Delhi, students from more than 25 colleges were seen around the campus participating in a large range of events. The events are conceptualized keeping the spirit of the University in mind. Events comprise both technical and cultural events. Each year a theme is chosen for the fest, Last year it was—Towards a zilch lifestyle based on reducing carbon footprint. Last year the fest was based on the concept of Innovate, Educate, and Entertain incorporating what Thomas Edison said, “If there’s a way to do it better—find it".

TscTERI Sports Club is an initiative by the enthusiasts of the University. Students, through their participation and support, have made the annual meet of TSC one of the most awaited events of TERI University. Be it chess or carom, or the extravaganzas of cricket, basketball or athletics, students’ involvement is something to watch. That is what keeps driving this innovative and popular meet news of which even the alumni are eager to get.
