TERI and ADARSH launch GRIHA rating for Schools
ADaRSH in association with TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute) and MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) launched its fifth edition of its flagship event the 'GRIHA Summit' on January 16 2014. On the occasion, TERI and ADaRSH launched the GRIHA PRAKRITI (ratings for schools). It aims to help in creating a more sustainable education system by imparting environmentally ethical values among the students and the faculty. The intent is to extend learning beyond classrooms and develop responsible attitudes that result in reduction of wasteful consumption, sharing and caring for the environment, and imbibing healthier and greener lifestyles. Prakriti will involve training of staff and evaluation of environmentally responsible practices on and off campus.
