“The Journey of Quality Education and Innovative Practices in sync with sustainable elements continues at Amity …….
The students are challenged with a final year project and social awareness projects as a part of their curriculum to address and resolve sustainability issues on air quality, gender equity, solar power, no plastic in community & campus, waste management etc.
The 110 acres LEED platinum certified green campus is rich in diverse flora and fauna and herbal plants to promote students learning in-house in lap of nature for fostering the ability of students to think of sustainability as a living reality.
The students are trained to practice the value of contributing to the societal development by giving back what they have learnt. The university implements this practice by conducting classes, awareness programs for the marginalized and uneducated adults in the villages adopted by various clubs such as UDAAN and SAAKAR to achieve basic level education and AMICON to promote environmental. The Mission Green plantation drive is successfully lead by the students’ clubs Amicon and Amigreen. Every year on 5th June World Environment Day students faculty are involved in planting saplings in and around the campus. They also organize activities for farmers and school children of the neighboring community to engage in various environmental activities on themes such as biodiversity, growing herbal plants & microgreens, ecology, compositing recycling and sustainable agricultural practices. Education is an important medium that helps in reducing the pervasiveness of extreme poverty, communal conflicts, ignorance about the conservation of the environment and unawareness of sustainability. The university education system focuses on inculcating the spirit of patriotism, and love for mankind, and driving sustainability development goals by implementing various practices.
The university is in a rural- urban place therefore, it provides access to its facilities such as library, laboratories, computer labs, studios, herbal garden under the supervision of faculty members.

The research interest of Dr. Vijay Kumar, Associate Professor, Department of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology also extends to investigate the socio-cultural perspective of health in general. Recently, Dr Kumar and his team investigated the impact of hearing aid usage on emotional and social skills in persons with severe to profound hearing loss. Severe to profound hearing loss impacts the capacity for verbal communication as well as the social, emotional, and overall quality of life. It was observed that the social domain of the persons using hearing aids was significantly better than the emotional even after six months of hearing aids usage. Based on these findings it was concluded that in individuals with severe to profound hearing loss, social rehabilitation occurs quicker than emotional. These findings suggest that customized counselling should be developed for the social and emotional wellbeing as these two parameters improve distinctly. Yadav, A. K., Ahsan, A., & Kumar, V. (2023).

Multisite characterization of concurrent black carbon and biomass burning around COVID-19 lockdown period: (Urban Climate Journal, Impact Factor: 6.663) Authors: Sunil M Sonbawne, Panuganti CS Devara (Corresponding author), Priyanka D Bhoyar
The Magee Scientific Model AE33 Next Generation Aethalometer, installed at Amity University Haryana (AUH), Panchgaon (rural station) has been operated round-the-clock and obtained high-resolution (1-5 Minutes) observations of Black Carbon (BC) mass concentration at seven different sensing wavelengths (ranging from UV to NIR). For each observation, contribution from Biomass Burning (BB, in percent) to the BC has also been recorded. These measurements have been analyzed to segregate different sources, responsible for BC at this rural station. The results reveal that the major contributor is ‘traffic’ (fossil fuel diesel emissions), followed by ‘biomass smoke’, wood-burning activities. The diurnal variation in BC and associated BB over this study area reveals a significant maximum around 0900h and minimum around 1600h. These maximum and minimum concentrations are attributed to transport activities during morning and ascending of local atmospheric boundary-layer height. The results also exhibit a strong affinity between BC mass concentration and coincident CO2 and PM2.5 mass concentrations. Synchronous BC measurements have also been organized over two more locations, namely, Bhopal (urban station) and Mahabaleshwar (high-altitude station). The black carbon aerosol transport through long-range air mass back-trajectories is explained.
Energy transition and divesting investment from energy intensive systems to clean energy systems is a major step taken by Amity University Haryana to drive low carbon scenario in all its operations including academic delivery, administration, and maintenance. To ensure low carbon transformation, University is mandated through Sustainable Energy Policy and Building Commissioning Policy to ensure carbon neutrality in phase wise manner.
A 500 kWp rooftop solar PV system ensures mitigating 14145-ton CO2 emissions and is equivalent to planting 22632 Teak trees over the lifetime. The Solar Plant Operates with Zero breakdown and generate Solar energy round the year. The University has a dedicated 33 KV independent feeder which is very stable have negligible breakdowns reducing utilization of DG sets ensuring control on carbon emission. Regular Emission analysis & Monitoring of DG sets is carried out to ensure low pollution. A plan has been taken to replace 240 Conventional Halogen Lamps of 400 Watt with 200 Watt LED Flood Lights having same illumination. The replacement will be done in four phases (60 no each phase). After the first phase on replacement & installation of 50 LED flood lights, a savings of Rs. 195750/- has been estimated. A biogas plant is housed in the AUH farm which provides the energy requirement of the dairy.
University encourages uses of public transport for daily commuting of day scholars, faculty and staff. A large number of buses are maintained, which ensure less carbon footprint for remotely located campus like AUH. All vehicles entering University have “Pollution Under Control” certificate. Campus strictly follows "No Smoking Zone" principle.
Energy efficient buildings
Amity University Haryana (AUH) is situated in the picturesque 110-acre Amity Education Valley, in the close proximity of Gurgaon, one of India's biggest corporate hubs. Based upon innovation in design, location & transport, water efficiency, energy & atmosphere, sustainable site, indoor environmental quality and material & resources, Amity University Haryana building is accredited with LEED Platinum (highest rating for green building); 1st university building in India and 2nd only in Asia in operation and maintenance category.
University building contains series of sunken courts which reduce heat regime in summer and winter together which helps in minimising air conditioning energy consumption. All the buildings have multiple windows and glass facades to increase the daylight utilization and the roofs are painted with reflective paint to reduce the heat absorption by the building thereby reducing the heat load of the buildings. The building architecture, ramps, connectors between the buildings help in reducing the usage of lifts and electrical lightings.
