IIITH supports SGI, hosts plantation of 1,200 trees on campus

In keeping with its green campus practices, International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIITH) hosted a large-scale tree plantation drive of 1,200 trees on campus by Sustainable Green Initiative (SGI), with the support of One Tree Planted USA and FedEx Corporation USA. Spread across 66 acres, IIITH has been an environmentally conscious campus right since its inception – with over 2,000 trees, rainwater harvesting mechanisms and a smart campus for regulating water and electricity consumption, installation of Wi-SUN smart street lights, and being a plastic-free campus. Supporting Sustainable Green Initiative (SGI) was a natural progression of its ongoing initiatives as it aligns with the institute’s ethos and the institute’s annual tree planting exercise. Sustainable Green Initiative (SGI) strives toward restoring Hyderabad’s green cover, rebuilding ecosystems, and creating a legacy of environmental responsibility. At a time when our cities are rapidly losing their natural cover, it is hoped that corporates, educational institution, and citizen groups can draw inspiration and take action.
