Caring for the Environment...



Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement has always ensured that all activities it undertakes have a positive environmental impact. Apart from this, SVYM is constantly endeavouring to use alternate energy sources in its different campuses. Today, solar power plants in SVYM campuses produce close to 15 KW of power. This is used for lighting, charging the UPS which runs the computers and telephone systems, for electrifying fences and energising the water pumps. Efficient hearths and ovens built with technology provided by the Indian Institute of Science have reduced the fuel consumption by more than 60%.

SVYM has planted more than 25,000 trees on all its campuses put together and is constantly working towards reducing fossil fuels consumed for its vehicles. SVYM has installed rain-water harvesting structures in most of its buildings. It is now working to ensure that soil and water conservation techniques are used in all its campuses.
