Moreover, IIM Indore’s commitment to green initiatives is evident in the extensive campus greening projects undertaken in recent years. With a plantation of 2,000 trees annually, Prof. Himanshu Rai emphasized, “We have meticulously planted over 150 tree species, including medicinal and rare plants, contributing to the flourishing biodiversity.”
In addition to the tree plantation drive, our organic garden on campus yields a bountiful harvest of 10-12 tonnes of fruits and vegetables each year, distributed within the community. IIM Indore’s socially conscious approach extends beyond flora, with a dog shelter on campus caring for over 30 dogs, including puppies available for adoption.
For sustainable energy practices, IIM Indore has embraced rainwater harvesting and solar technology. The recent inauguration saw the introduction of a solar tree, symbolizing the institute’s commitment to renewable energy. Additionally, the institute has incorporated e-vehicles, significantly reducing reliance on traditional petrol-powered transportation methods. Moreover, AQI (Air Quality Index) monitors have been installed across the campus, demonstrating that the air quality inside the campus is consistently cleaner than that outside and in the surrounding city.
Over the years, IIM Indore has documented the presence of more than 70 bird species, eight snake species, 12 butterfly species, and numerous insects, spiders, moths, and bats. The meticulously planned spaces for ecological diversity and sustainability align with the institute’s ethos of responsible management education.
As IIM Indore continues to lead in academic excellence, the institution remains steadfast in its commitment to creating a campus that not only nurtures future business leaders but also contributes to a greener and healthier planet.
