From the desk of Acting Vice-Chancellor Academic programmes at the TERI University are focused around the challenges of providing for a rising global population with a limited and degraded natural resource base. In moving towards sustainability, the implicit understanding is that there is no panacea or straight road, with recognized and established methodologies, tools or specializations leading to such development. The solutions therefore do not lie in a specific subject discipline, but must be appropriate and relevant to the context or the practical problem being addressed. Developing such an understanding among its students is best achieved through exposure to a variety of subjects, tools, and methodologies offered in interdisciplinary mode. This has been the guiding philosophy behind the programmes offered by the TERI University and is practised by building a theoretical understanding in courses covering a variety of traditional disciplines, such as ecology, natural and social sciences, governance, policy, law, and engineering.
At the TERI University, students are exposed to a new way of thinking that looks at problems not from the lens of a subject specialist, but from the perspective of one who recognizes the complex linkages between man and his environment.
The TERI University’s programmes are unique, not only in terms of the degrees, but in terms of the fact that they equip the graduates to lead in a resource-sensitive world. The programmes leverage TERI’s knowledge capital in sustainable development to deepen the social and ethical consciousness of higher education in India.
We are sure that you will find graduates of these programmes to be competent leaders with a holistic and long-term perspective for a world that demands new skills and attitude.
Your feedback will be most valuable to us, and we look forward to it.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS
June to December 2014
A Study on Urban and Environmental Challenges: A Case of Delhi NCR
In the course of Urban Ecology and Environment & Sustainable Provision and Management of Urban Services, students studied the impact of Ecology on Urban Services (water supply, sewage, transportation, solid waste management, etc.) due to the development around the eco-sensitive and industrial areas. Hence, students studied the following areas to understand the correlation between ecology and development.
Key Findings
AREAS ISSUES OBSERVED SUGGESTIONS
Okhla Bird Sanctuary (OBS)
Encroachment of wetland, silting, and direct sewage disposal in Yamuna river; the number of birds visiting the sanctuary has reduced over the years; presence of high tension wires which kill many birds; and multiplicity of institutional management.

Study on Disaster Prone Urban Areas to Climate Resilient Cities In the course of Urban Disaster Management and Climate Resilient Cities, the students were exposed to climate resilient characteristics of a city and strategies to mitigate disasters by reviewing case studies from national and international practices.
The students were given a task to study three types of disasters, Bhuj earthquake (2001), Vishakhapatnam Cyclone Hudhud (2014), and floods in Jammu and Kashmir (2014).
Key Findings
Due to rapid urbanization and climate change, vulnerability of these areas has increased. The lack of efficient disaster management strategies has led to loss of life, animal husbandry, infrastructure, livelihoods, and revenue.
Due to uncontrolled population growth, there has been a change in the land use pattern, i.e., green cover to urban land use. Further, rapid urbanization, violations in building bye-laws, master plan zoning regulations, and coastal regulation zone and increase in frequency of disasters during last hundred years has led to an increase in vulnerability. However, improvement in early warning systems over the years has reduced the loss of human life.
Learnings
Vulnerability assessment and mapping for identifying vulnerable areas of a city; mitigation strategies to reduce the impact of disasters like role of early warning systems in reducing the impact of disasters; identifying sustainable approaches to make cities climate resilient and alternatives for financing of climate resilient cities.
