A Campus with Zero-Carbon Footprint
Our campus operates as a zero-carbon footprint zone, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility. Our infrastructure, encompassing energy conservation practices and eco-friendly construction methods, is meticulously designed to minimize its environmental impact. By integrating green energy solutions, waste recycling, and water conservation systems, we ensure that our operations seamlessly align with global sustainability standards.
Renewable Energy & Responsible Waste Management
At DSVV, renewable energy and waste management are fundamental to our sustainability initiatives:
Solar Power: By utilising solar energy, our systems substantially diminish our dependence on fossil fuels.
Waste Management: Advanced solid waste management practices ensure responsible disposal of all waste. Organic waste is transformed into compost, while non-biodegradable waste is recycled, thereby promoting a circular economy.
Water Conservation: Rainwater harvesting and wastewater recycling systems have established water stewardship as a campus-wide practice. Every drop conserved contributes to a more sustainable future.
Regular green and energy audits facilitate accountability and continuous improvement in our environmental performance.
Sustainability in Everyday Life
Our campus extends beyond eco-friendly infrastructure, embodying a comprehensive hub for sustainable living. From our herbal gardens to our acupressure park and from our daily Yagya rituals to our commitment to environmental consciousness, we seamlessly integrate sustainability into every facet of campus life. These practices not only enhance the physical and spiritual well-being of our community but also cultivate an ethos of care for the planet.
Residing on campus provides students and staff with an unparalleled opportunity to experience and practice sustainability firsthand. This firsthand experience fosters the development of habits that will not only benefit them but also the environment for a lifetime.

DSVV provides specialized programs in Environmental Science, Rural Studies, and Medicinal Plant Sciences, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to address contemporary environmental challenges. The curriculum incorporates cross-cutting themes such as human values, gender equality, and ecological ethics, fostering critical thinking and ethical considerations.

The curriculum emphasizes both classroom discussions and outdoor experiences, instilling a lifelong commitment to environmental sustainability.
