Pioneering Environmental Innovation: SIT Nagpur’s Commitment to Sustainability

Dear Students, Faculty, Researchers, and Industry Leaders,

At Symbiosis Institute of Technology (SIT), Nagpur, we firmly believe that engineering is not just about innovation—it is about creating solutions that benefit society and the environment. With urban areas facing increasing challenges such as air and water pollution, waste management, and ecological degradation, the role of engineering in sustainability-driven urban transformation has never been more crucial.

Studies suggest that environmental engineering solutions can reduce urban pollution by up to 30%, and SIT Nagpur is actively turning this possibility into reality through groundbreaking research, strategic industry collaborations, and cutting-edge technological interventions.

Project Spotlight-Urban Environmental Sustainability:

In partnership with Chandrapur Municipal Corporation, our esteemed faculty and researchers have embarked on a mission to combat environmental pollution through scientific research, data-driven solutions, and advanced engineering methodologies. Chandrapur, known for its industrial landscape, faces significant environmental challenges, particularly in air and water quality management.

Our research team has conducted comprehensive city-wide environmental assessments, identifying critical pollution sources and formulating effective mitigation strategies. These interventions aim to not only reduce pollution levels but also contribute to urban planning policies, sustainable development goals, and Smart City initiatives.

Meet Our Environmental Champions:

Leading this transformative initiative are some of our most dedicated and accomplished faculty members:

🔹 Dr. Latika Pinjarkar (SIT Nagpur)

🔹 Dr. Gagandeep Kaur (SIT Nagpur)

🔹 Dr. Girdhar Urkude (SIT Nagpur)

🔹 Dr. Poorva Agarwal (SIT Nagpur)

🔹 Mr. Dipak Gulhane (SIT Nagpur)

🔹 Mr. Parag Shirbhate (SCMS Nagpur)

This team has played a pivotal role in conducting environmental impact assessments, field research, and data analysis, ensuring that the solutions proposed are both effective and scalable. Their dedication underscores SIT Nagpur’s mission to blend academic knowledge with real-world applications for a sustainable future.

Why This Initiative Matters

✔ Real-World Impact – The project directly improves air and water quality, addressing major environmental health concerns in urban areas.

✔ Industry-Academia Collaboration – By working alongside municipal authorities and industry experts, SIT Nagpur is shaping evidence-based policies for sustainable city development.

✔ Hands-On Learning for Students – This initiative provides practical exposure to students, equipping them with skills in environmental assessment, sustainable engineering, and urban planning.

✔ Supporting Smart City Goals – These research-driven solutions contribute to India’s Smart City framework, aligning with the vision of eco-friendly, sustainable urban spaces.

Engineering a Greener Tomorrow:

At SIT Nagpur, we are not just educating engineers; we are nurturing change-makers, problem-solvers, and environmental stewards. Through research-driven solutions and sustainable innovations, we are empowering our students and faculty to make tangible contributions to society.

This initiative is just one of many steps in our journey toward a cleaner, greener, and more resilient future. Together, we continue to push the boundaries of environmental innovation—because when knowledge meets action, true progress is made.

We look forward to more such initiatives and collaborations that help shape a sustainable and technologically advanced India.
