members. The members confirmed and approved the minutes.

EVS/BOS/01/02: To consider and approve the list of open electives offered by the department.

The department is already offering two open electives 1) Environment Conservation 2) Waste Management in Daily Life. Three more open elective courses

were proposed to offer to UG and PG students of University (attached as Annexure

A)

1. Energy And Environment

2. Environmental Legislation And Policies

3. Solid Waste Management

The board approved the open electives with minor modification in the syllabus. Some may offered in odd semester and some may be in even semester.

EVS/BOS/01/03: To consider and approve the list of examiners for B.Tech and MSc

Environmental Sciences.

The board approved the list of examiners for the subjects Environmental Sciences,

Biology and Life Science in 8Tech programme and MSc Environmental Sciences

attached as Annexure B). The same list may be considered as examiners for the
