Centre for Earth Studies
Chair: Prof. Poonam Kumria
Co-ordinator: Prof. Anindita Roy Saha
The Centre for Earth Studies (CES) was launched in 2016 with a vision to promote research and learning in areas around sustainable development. It aims to develop life skill, environmental awareness and ecological consciousness among the community that will be ready to face challenges of climate change, environmental degradation and ecological conservation. In this journey towards a common sustainable future, the Centre takes up several research projects for students to work under expert faculty mentorship. It has successfully carried out a tree census of the campus in 2017 followed by a bird diversity census in 2018. The latest project conducted in 2019 was on the dust capturing capacity of the existing green belt of the campus which may have major policy implications for addressing the severe air pollution problem of Delhi. The centre has organized several engaging workshops like ‘Birds: Watching and Beyond’ and 'Indoor Air Quality and Human Health'. It has conducted an Add-on Certificate Course on Disaster Management. It also publishes a Peer-reviewed Journal titledJournal of Innovation for Inclusive Development (ISSN 2456-4478). The Centre works towards the creation of a waste-neutral campus by running a comprehensive waste management program including plastic and e-waste collection for scientific disposal, waste paper collection for recycling, leaf composting and kitchen waste management. Seminars, talks and workshops are organised regularly as a part of the green capacity building initiatives. Other activities include bird watching, wildlife rescue, earth tourism and field trips in order to instil a holistic awareness for green living on a sustainable planet.
