INTRODUCTION

Green Audit is a process of systematic identification, quantification, recording,

reporting and analysis of components of environmental diversity of various

establishments. It aims to analyze environmental practices within and outside of the

concerned sites, which will have an impact on the eco-friendly ambience. Green

audit is a useful tool for a college to determine how and where they are using the

most energy or water or resources; the college can then consider how to implement

changes and make savings. It can also be used to determine the type and volume

of waste, which can be used for a recycling project or to improve waste

minimization plan. It can create health consciousness and promote environmental

awareness, values and ethics. It provides staff and students better understanding of

Green impact on campus. If self enquiry is a natural and necessary outgrowth of a

quality education, it could also be stated that institutional self enquiry is a natural

and necessary outgrowth of a quality educational institution. Thus it is imperative

that the college evaluate its own contributions toward a sustainable future. As

environmental sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue for the

nation, the role of higher educational institutions in relation to environmental

sustainability is more prevalent.

The rapid urbanization and economic development at local, regional and

global level has led to several environmental and ecological crises. On this

background it becomes essential to adopt the system of the Green Campus for the

institutes which will lead for sustainable development and at the same time reduce

a sizable amount of atmospheric carbon-di-oxide from the environment. The

National Assessment and Accreditation Council, New Delhi (NAAC) has made it

mandatory that all Higher Educational Institutions should submit an annual Green

Audit Report. Moreover, it is part of Corporate Social Responsibility of the Higher

Educational Institutions to ensure that they contribute towards the reduction of

global warming through Carbon Footprint reduction measures.

OBJECTIVES:

In recent time, the Green Audit of an institution has been becoming a

paramount important for self assessment of the institution which reflects the role of

the institution in mitigating the present environmental problems. The college has

been putting efforts to keep our environment clean since its inception. But the

auditing of this non-scholastic effort of the college has not been documented.

Therefore, the purpose of the present green audit is to identify, quantify, describe

and prioritize framework of Environment Sustainability in compliance with the

applicable regulations, policies and

standards. The main objectives of carrying out Green Audit are:

1. To map the Geographical Location of the college

2. To document the floral and faunal diversity of the college.

3. To record the meteorological parameter of Israna (Panipat) where college is situated

4. To estimate the Energy requirements of the college

5. To document the Waste Management system

6. To document the ambient environmental condition of air, water and noise of the

college

7. To introduce and aware students to real concerns of environment and its

sustainability

METHODOLOGY:

The purpose of the green audit of NC College is to ensure that the practices

followed in the campus are in accordance with the Green Policy adopted by the

institution. The methodology include: preparation and filling up of questionnaire,

physical inspection of the campus, observation and review of the documentation,

interviewing key persons and data analysis, measurements and recommendations.

Some data have also been taken from the students’ research works carried out by

various science departments of the college.

LAND USE ANALYSIS, N.C. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, ISRANA PANIPAT, HARYANA, (May 2018)

GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE CONCEPT OF LANDUSE:

Land use refers to man’s activities and the various uses which are carried

on and derived from land. Viewing the earth from space, it is now very crucial in man’s activities on natural resource. In situations of rapid changes in land use, observations of the Earth from space give the information of human activities and utilization of the landscape. Remote sensing and GIS techniques are now providing new tools for advanced land use mapping and planning. The collection of remotely sensed data facilitates the synoptic analyses of earth system, functions, patterning, and change in the local, regional as well as at global scales over time .Satellite imagery particularly is a valuable tool for generating land use map. METHODOLOGY ADOPTED FOR LAND USE MAPPING:

Three types of data that are GPS points, field survey data and Google earth data for Geo referencing have been used in this study. Land use map of the study area have been prepared using the above three types of data with the help of ArcGis 10.2.2 software DATA PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS:

Land use map preparation is executed through the following steps: Acquisition of data, Geo-coding and Geo referencing of satellite imageries by extracting the ground control points. Supervised classification was carried out with the aid of ground truth data collected during field survey. Scanning and digitization of maps and editing of all the Geo referenced maps were done using GIS. Data manipulation and analysis and linking the spatial data with the attribute data for creation of topology was carried out using GIS software. Creation of GIS output in the form of land use map showing various land use have been prepared.

TREE DIVERSITY OF NC COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, ISRANA

NC College is within the geo-position between latitude 29.2769860 N and longitude 76.851960990 E in Israna , Panipat, Haryana, India Pin -132107 It encompasses an area of about 15.04 acre. The area is immensely diverse with a variety of tree species performing a variety of functions. Most of these tree species are planted in different periods of time through various plantation programmes organized by the authority and have become an integral part of the college.

The trees of the college have increased the quality of life, not only of the college fraternity but also the people around of the college in terms of contributing to our environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate amelioration, conservation of water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife, controlling climate by moderating the effects of the sun, rain and wind. Leaves absorb and filter the sun’s radiant energy, keeping things cool in summer. Many animals are dependent on these trees mainly for food and shelter. Flowers and fruits are eaten by monkeys, and nectar is a favorite of birds and many insects. Leaf – covered branches keep many animals, such as birds and squirrels, out of reach of predators. Different species display a seemingly endless variety of shapes, forms, texture and vibrant colors. Even individual trees vary their appearance throughout the course of the year as the seasons change. The strength, long lifespan and regal stature of trees give them a monument – like quality. They also remind us the glorious history of our institution. We often make an emotional connection with these trees and sometime become personally attached to the ones that we see every day. A thick belt of large shady trees in the periphery of the college have found to be bringing down noise and cut down dust and storms. A recent study has revealed that the rich diversity of tree species of about 48 species belonging to 27 families have sequestrated a total of 362.65 ton of organic carbon. Thus, the college has been playing a significant role in maintaining the environment of the entire Israna town and its surrounding areas. The following are the tree species with whom we are being attached-

RAIN WATER HARVESTING SYSTEM IN NC COLLEGE

NC College has constructed 12 Rainwater harvesting ( pit/dug well) in the campus area Rainwater harvesting is an important environment friendly approach- dubbed as a Green Practice which has double benefit in both keeping the groundwater table undisturbed and charging the aquifer. Such a green practice is encouraged in the form of Community Development Program can find its popularity as it shows the manifold benefits of, in one hand, bringing people together to collective thinking on ‘green’ approaches, innovating approaches to save earth by harping on their creative notes, achieving nobler feelings saving water for future; on the other hand, rainwater as well as run off storm water stored in a planned way save the earth from soil erosion, flood; recharge the aquifers to give a shot in the arm to the decreasing groundwater table.

The increasing urbanization lead to concentrated population density at places resulting into uneven drawing of ground water. This is ensuing into draught and drying up of river beds at places where domestic and industrial use of water is rising. This places if shift focus towards using rainwater, the groundwater there may gradually fall back to its normal level thus ensuring the ecobalance not lost. The extensive and unplanned usage of groundwater not only disturbed the natural water table but also has made the ground water contaminated and, in many a place, totally unfit for any use. The groundwater in these places required to be immediately left to revive. Collecting rainwater, harvesting the storm water run offs, in these places, surly would minimize the risk of the future population here.

Rainwater harvesting, besides being eco friendly, is an economic practice as well. The cost of digging a catchment area even can be saved by roof top collection of rainwater. The freshwater canals or rain fed natural ponds too can be used for harvesting. Sand gravel filters for purifying rainwater is again something which can be easily arranged. The catchments and settlement tanks built in the area easily free the spot and the vicinity from the curse of flood or water logging, thus saving money of pumping out dirty muddy storm water. Presence of water body in the region also reduces the ground heat and act as a natural cooler.

SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT OF NC COLLEGE

NC College is having own independent 100 KLD STP. Sewage is water-

carried wastes, in either solution or suspension that flow away from a college campus. It is also known as waste water flows or used water supply of the college community. It is more than 99.9% pure water characterized by its volume or rate of flow, its physical condition, its chemical constituents, and the bacteriological organisms that it contains.

The used water from campus of the college ( residences and institution

buildings) carrying body wastes, washing water, food preparation wastes, laundry wastes, and other waste products of normal living, are classified as domestic or sanitary sewage. All such type of waste water/sewage is being treated in STP. After treatment, water is being used for gardening/Plantation in the college campus.

NOISE LEVEL IN THE SURROUNDING OF NC COLLEGE

The human ear is constantly being assailed by man-made sounds from all

sides, and there remain few places in populous areas where relative quiet prevails. There are two basic properties of sound, (1) loudness and (2) frequency.

Loudness is the strength of sensation of sound perceived by the individual. It

is measured in terms of Decibels. Just audible sound is about 10 dB, a whisper about 20 dB, library place 30 dB, normal conversation about 35-60 dB, heavy street traffic 60-0 dB, boiler factories 120 dB, jet planes during take-off is about 150 dB, rocket engine about 180 dB . The loudest sound a person can stand without much discomfort is about 80 dB. Sounds beyond 80 dB can be safely regarded as Pollutant as it harms hearing system. The WHO has fixed 45 dB as the safe noise level for a city. For international standards a noise level upto 65 dB is considered tolerate. Loudness is also expressed in Sones. One some equals the loudness of 40 dB sound pressure at 1000 Hz.

Frequency is defined as the number of vibration per second. It is denoted as

Hertz (Hz).

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

The objectives of the study were as the following:

To assess the impact on human work efficiency due to road traffic parameters, different noise indices, and attitudinal response.

To study the temporal pattern of road traffic the study area.

To study the existing status of noise levels in the study area by recording the noise intensity at various locations.

Identification and consideration of suitable mitigation and abatement

measures. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLEGE SITE:

The site of the NC college is bounded to the West by Panipat- Rohtak Higway, NH 71 A, to the East by the NC Medical College and Hospital and to the North and by the agriculture land. MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE:

The noise level was recorded from the West road side offices, and East NC Medical College & Hospital side road, located at the Front gate areas of NC College, Israna. At different selected sites of NC College, noise level had been measured. At each spot, the measurements were taken for 60 seconds during day time (6 AM- 6 PM) and noted down the measurements.

RESULTS

The results of the experiments in both the places have been tabulated in the

following tables: Table 1: Measurements of Noise in and around NC College:

WASTE DISPOSAL OF NC COLLEGE

With smart initiatives like our Think Green Campus Model, Waste Management is helping colleges and universities achieve a higher level of environmental performance. By reusing or recycling we are: Contributing to the conservation of natural resources, Saving energy, Helping to protect the environment, Reducing landfill. We will also reduce our impact on the environment by minimizing the carbon emissions associated with both disposing of old products and obtaining new ones. NC College adopts environment friendly practices and takes necessary actions such as – energy conservation, waste recycling, carbon neutral etc. The biological reusable waste generated are processed as organic manure for the plants available in the college campus and the other solid waste generated in the college campus is taken to the community bin of Israna for recycling and disposal.
