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 can be 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.
Green audit is assigned to the criteria 7 of NAAC, National Assessment and Accreditation
Council which is a self governing organization of India which declares the institutions as
Grade A, B or C according to the scores assigned during the accreditation
ABOUT THE COLLEGE

FLORAL (TREE) DIVERSITY OF THE COLLEGE Diversity is a precious resource and if managed appropriately, extinction of species of
species can be prevented. Biodiversity is the degree of nature‟s variety in the Biosphere.
Plants provide fuel, fodder, food, fiber and fertilization i.e. “Five F”. It is expected that at
least 33% of the total area should be occupied by trees.
Our college,Shri. Dnyanesh Mahavidyalaya Nawargaon is within the geo-position between
latitude 20.364020 N and longitude 79.5773
0 E in Chandrapur. It encompasses an area of
about 12.04 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 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 and preserving soil.
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
. The strength, long lifespan and regal stature of trees give monument – like quality. They
also remind us the glorious history of our institution.
The following are the tree species with whom we are being attached-

ELECTRICAL POWER CONSUMPTION AT THE COLLEGE
The contribution of LED bulbs and LED tubes to the net power consumption is
17.53 %. The authority keep on replacing the old filament bulbs, CFL bulbs and tube lights by low energy consuming LED bulbs and LED tubes and bulky high
power consuming fans by energy efficient fans in order to keep the electricity consumption of the college as low as possible.
Rooftop solar panels are installed by the authority. Also green generator is with the
college to use it whenever the power supply is interrupted.
ROOFTOP SOLAR PANELS
WATER MANAGEMENT
Water is a natural resource; all living matters depend on water. While freely available in
many natural environments, in human settlements potable (drinkable) water is less readily
available. We need to use water wisely to ensure that drinkable water is available for all,
now and in the future. Only 2.5 % of earth‟s water is fresh water reserve, the rest is saline.

RAIN WATER HARVESTING
A rainwater harvesting system comprises components of various stages -
transporting rainwater through pipes or drains, filtration, and storage in tanks for reuse or
recharge. ... Catchments: The catchment of a water harvesting system is the surface
which directly receives the rainfalland provides water to the system.
The basic rainwater harvesting system is more of a plumbing job than a technical job, as
all the outlets form the buildings‟ terrace is connected through pipes to an underground
tank which stores water or a dugwell, which serves the purpose of recharging wells and
bore wells. In our college, the rainwater is collected from the catchment to the harvesting system,
using gravity. PVC pipes are used to collect water. The water is collected in the tank at
the Botanical garden wherefrom it is carried out for various purposes, like watering the
plants in green shade, vermiculture unit etc..

Ensure that all cleaning products used by college staff have a minimal detrimental impact on the
environment, i.e. are biodegradable and non-toxic
Negligible amounts of washing liquids are used in the college and all the
toilet cleaners are eco-friendly.
Dispose the chemical waste generated from the
laboratories in a scientific manner
. Most of the waste generated is water-
soluble and ultimately disposed through normal sewage system, diluted largely so biomagnifications is
negligent.

SOIL ANALYSIS RESULT
Soil analysis carried out at Department of Chemistry, ShriDnyaneshMahavidyalaya, Nawargaon
Soil Analysis Results Soils that test in the deficient range for a particular nutrient have a high probability of improved yield
if that nutrient is applied. Soils that test in the adequate range are not likely to see an improvement in yield as
a result of nutrient application
