INSTITUTIONAL DISTINCTIVENESS
Academic Year 2023-2024
Sustainable Ecosystem Services Management
The Concept: One of the missions of the institution is to encourage sustainable practices for the management of ecosystem services such as water, energy and other environmental resources. SNIT Adoor has identified two vital provisional ecosystem services such as water and energy for ensuring sustainability on the basis of sustainable development goal-SDG6
1. 50 kW GRID CONNECTED SOLAR ROOF TOP POWER PLANT
In order to tackle rapid climate change, countries must take measures to significantly reduce greenhouse gases. The biggest contributor of carbon dioxide gases into the atmosphere is the burning of fossil fuels like coal, gas, and oil. It’s time for countries to enact change. The inevitability of alternate energy source, which is renewable in nature can be a great relief to the environment as well as the day to day increasing energy demand.
SNIT Adoor proudly supports the words of PM as well as Paris agreement by coming to the path of eco-friendly green energy through successful installation and commissioning of 50 kW – Grid connected solar rooftop power plant. The project will be expanded to 100kW after successful trial run of the plant.

Both the energy import and export will be monitored using a smart meter, which give the net reading of energy consumption from KSEB.

2. RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM
The Civil Engineering Department of the college has been entrusted to prepare a master plan for the distinctive project and implements the same. The department computed total annual water demand in the campus. It has been estimated that the demand is 1512cumec/day. They have set a target to make the campus water sustainable.
OBJECTIVES OF RAINWATER HARVESTING IN SNIT CAMPUS
• To meet the increasing demand of water during draught season
• To reduce the run-off which chokes the drains.
• To avoid the flooding of roads.
• To raise the underground water table.
• To reduce groundwater pollution.
• To reduce soils erosion.
• Supplement domestic water needs.
