1. Dr. K. K. Bhutani Director, NIPER NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF PHARMACEUTICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (NIPER), S.A.S. Nagar ( Mohali)

2.  First national level Institute in pharmaceutical sciences  Inception 1994. Institute of National importance by an act of Parliament, 1998  An autonomous body conceived to be the centre of excellence in education and research in pharmaceutical sciences.  Offers Post doctoral, M.Pharm, M.Tech. (Pharm.), M.S. (Pharm.), M.B.A. (Pharm.) & Ph.D. Courses for critical high tech manpower development.  Industry – academia interaction to promote healthcare of nation INTRODUCTION

3. 1. Built in 130 acres in sector – 67, S.A.S. Nagar part of Tricity (Chd & P’kula) 2. Located in south- east part of Tricity 3. A seasonal rivulet – enters north corner & exits near south corner.

4.  To build as ecologically sustainable campus by : a. Introducing green cover, especially plants with known medicinal value b. Putting approx. 33% area under canopy cover c. Introducing measures for an eco- friendly environment & life style Sita Ashoka

5. A. Greening the campus Medicinal Plant garden Avenue & boundary plantation Groves and Dels B. Adopting green technologies Planned Section of MPG

6. 1. Planned development along major roads – green borders, green roads 2. More natural vegetation in the interiors – dotting with green 3. Reserve green areas along the rivulet – grouping of trees, thick shady areas (lungs of the campus) Green Reserve Area

7. - Minimal removal of existing green cover - Existing element integrated with introduced element - Ecological balancing - No going back in time 20 year old tree

8. - A major section of MPG in 20 acres developed as Eco-garden - Little disturbance- selective clearance - Minimum interference- patch development - Optimum development - Integration of structures with surroundings Eco-Garden

9.  Canopy cover near 30%  Lesser air pollution, 6 reserve areas act as lungs of campus  Minimum temperatures lower by 0.8 – 1 ºC than the surrounding sectors  > 200 species of Medicinal plants in the campus, > 80 species of trees  Fauna : 7 types each of reptiles & birds, 4 types of mammals

10.  Green buildings – few high rise, sunken windows, green pergolas  Effluent Management – ETP, strict chemical disposal regime, efficient solvent recovery.  No solid / pucca pavements - enough ground space for water percolation, moisture retention, sustaining ground water table  Adoption of CFL & LED technology  Harnessing solar energy  Water harvesting  Paper & wood alternatives

11. Adopting appropriate waste disposal regime 1. Domestic organic wastes – composting 2. Infectious / Animal wastes – incinerator 3. Radioactive wastes – as per guidelines 4. Chemical wastes - ETP Incinerator

12.  For each future development unit, we may have : Minimal green cover requirement Minimal power substitution with non conventional methods Minimal water conservation requirements Minimum no vehicle zone / area Zero litter zones / areas Minimal effluent generation
