2. Special Initiatives Taken for: i. Energy conservation/ use of Solar energy
Energy is a term that broadly refers to either electricity, gas or water consumption; energy conservation and energy efficiency are often interchangeable terms as improved energy efficiency also means reduced energy consumption. An Energy Conservation Measure or ECM for short, is a single initiative undertaken to reduce the energy consumption of a particular piece of equipment or a certain aspect of essential building services; energy conservation measures or ECMs are pluralistic and therefore imply a combination of several ECM initiatives to reduce energy consumption across an entire facility or building. GCTE intends to increase and improve the environmental content of curricula at its constituent institutes by developing curriculum for undergraduate and postgraduate students focusing on emerging issues around environmental sustainability, improving awareness amongst students and faculty members around the environmental content of courses, and inviting guests and lectures from eminent researchers/ industrialists/sustainability experts at campuses.

The institution has a stated energy policy streamlining ways of energy conservation, use of alternate sources of energy for meeting its power requirements Though all renewable energy sources fall under the category of alternative energy sources but renewable energy sources are derived from naturally replenished sources of Earth, such as the sun, wind, and water. Our college has initiated the following measures to conserve energy:
