Govt. of Andhra Pradesh and Heartfulness Launched a Novel Net-Zero Residential School Pilot Programme at APSWREIS Residential School

Vijayawada, Jan 09: Heartfulness, in collaboration with the Government of Andhra Pradesh, today launched a landmark Net-Zero Residential School pilot project at the APSWREIS Residential School in Kuntamukkala, near Vijayawada. The initiative emerged from discussions between Hon’ble Chief Minister Sri Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Reverend Daaji, Global Guide of Heartfulness, reflecting a shared vision for sustainable and environmentally responsible education and aims to serve as a scalable model of an Integrated Ecological Campus. 

The campus will include green belts, a rainforest, wetlands, and microgreens, thereby closing the Net-Zero loop. It seeks to create an environment conducive to learning while grooming students to take responsibility for ecology through student-led green governance, with scope for scaling across Andhra Pradesh.

The launch was graced by Sri Vasantha Venkata Krishna Prasad, MLA, Mylavaram, NTR District; Sri Prasanna Venkatesh V., IAS, Secretary, APSWREIS; Dr Ramakantha, Chairman, Forests by Heartfulness; and Mr Saravanan Subramanian, Director, Forests by Heartfulness. This initiative is based on the discussions Hon CM Sri Nara Chandrababu Naidu had with Reverend Daaji, Global Guide, Heartfulness. The event was marked by a mass plantation drive, with green enthusiasts coming together to set a new national benchmark for climate-positive educational infrastructure.

The need for the pilot project was identified as a long-term, low-energy, sustainable solution for residential schools, where there is higher resource usage, increased water consumption, and significant wastewater generation. Larger campuses offer scope for ecological regeneration, development of Net-Zero and water-positive campuses, creation of carbon assets, and integration of sustainability into daily student life. The project also aims to develop a scalable model for Andhra Pradesh while helping students identify their role in environmental stewardship.

Sri Vasantha Venkata Krishna Prasad, MLA, Mylavaram, shared his thoughts:

“Andhra Pradesh will become a hub of environmentally aware youth through initiatives like this. With the support of our Government and inspired by the guidance of Revered Daaji, we hope this pilot project will have a ripple effect throughout the state by introducing the Net-Zero concept in residential schools.”

“The seven-year project aims to achieve negative carbon emissions, improve soil health and biodiversity, and reduce freshwater usage. When sustainability becomes a way of life in residential schools, it becomes a lifelong habit. This is a commendable initiative by the Government of Andhra Pradesh and Heartfulness,” said Sri Prasanna Venkatesh V., IAS, Secretary, APSWREIS.

Dr Ramakantha, Chairman, Forests by Heartfulness, added,

“We are delighted to partner with the Government of Andhra Pradesh. This pilot project will not only help raise environmentally conscious leaders but also create a replicable and sustainable model for schools that will have long-term impact.”

Mr Saravanan Subramanian, Director, Forests by Heartfulness, said,

“By planting a tree and caring for it over time, each student nurtures life itself. This is the most beautiful aspect of the initiative. We are confident that this pilot will succeed in creating a beautiful, conducive, and spiritually enriched environment for students.”

The Integrated Campus Zoning concept includes a small rainforest; one ‘Sandalwood Legacy’ tree per student; dense plantations for boundary protection and carbon sequestration; wind and sound buffers for hostel comfort; a pollinator garden for biodiversity learning; a herbal garden for traditional knowledge; and microgreens with Net-Zero nutrition for low-water food production, skill development, and health—spread across seven distinct zones.

Student Green Clubs have also proposed to monitor trees, wetlands, and waste systems; promote daily sustainability practices in residential life; conduct quarterly reporting and audits; manage microgreens; integrate kitchen waste composting; and oversee recycled water usage.

Aligned with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) goals, the pilot project is expected to deliver a Net-Zero carbon campus within 5–7 years, achieve a 40–70% reduction in freshwater usage, enhance biodiversity and soil health, and nurture environmentally responsible residential students. Over the seven-year project phase, the Net-Zero pathway is projected to transition from a +180 high carbon emission level to a carbon-negative status by the seventh year through interventions such as wetlands, sustainable food systems, composting, biochar, rainforest development, boundary plantations, sandalwood cultivation, canopy growth, soil carbon build-up, mature tree cover, solar power, and LED lighting.

The Net-Zero Residential School pilot is scientifically robust and financially transparent, serving as a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for long-term ecological and educational assets, with pilot implementation followed by district-wise scaling.

SRCC’s 100-Year Journey: Centenary Curtain Raiser Reflects Enduring Impact on Indian Economy

New Delhi, Jan 2: Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), one of India’s most influential institutions in commerce and economics education, formally commenced its centenary celebrations on Friday with a landmark Curtain Raiser ceremony at its North Campus, bringing together academic leaders, policymakers, and distinguished alumni from across sectors.

As SRCC enters its 100th year (1926 2026), the institution reflected on a legacy that has closely tracked the evolution of India’s economic and governance architecture. The centenary curtain raiser outlined a year- long programme of academic conclaves, policy dialogues, alumni engagements, and global collaborations aimed at positioning SRCC for the demands of the next century.

Tribute to Founder and Institutional Legacy

The event was presided over by Prof. Yogesh Singh, Vice Chancellor of the University of Delhi, who attended as Chief Guest, along with Mr. Ajay S. Shriram, Chairman, SRCC Governing Body. The ceremony opened with a floral tribute to Sir Shri Ram, the visionary industrialist who founded the institution in 1920 as The Commercial School to nurture indigenous business leadership in pre-Independence India.

A commemorative coffee table book, Timeless Frames, chronicling SRCC’s journey from its early years in Daryaganj to its emergence as a globally recognised centre of excellence, was also released on the occasion.

Vice Chancellor highlights SRCC’s Nation Building Role

Addressing the gathering, Prof. Yogesh Singh described SRCC as a “globally recognised academic brand” and said the college’s contribution went far beyond rankings or reputation.

“Hundred years is long enough to build institutions, shape generations and influence the journey of a nation. SRCC has done all three,” he said, adding that the University of Delhi took pride in the college’s role in producing economists, administrators, judges, and business leaders who continue to shape India’s growth story.

Referring to India’s recent economic milestone of becoming the 4th largest economy, the Vice Chancellor said the country’s emergence as a USD 4 trillion economy underscored the importance of institutions like SRCC in producing world class economists, entrepreneurs, and policy thinkers. He urged the college to focus its next phase on entrepreneurship, business incubation, and emerging areas such as artificial intelligence and digital finance.

“Institutions like SRCC must now prepare leaders who create enterprises, not just join them, and who see leadership as a moral responsibility,” he said.

Chairman’s Address

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Ajay S. Shriram, Chairman, SRCC Governing Body, said the centenary curtain raiser marked both a moment of reflection and a roadmap for the future. Recalling SRCC’s journey from its modest beginnings in Daryaganj to becoming one of India’s foremost centres for commerce and economics education, he said the occasion was an opportunity to recognise achievements while planning ahead.

Paying tribute to late Arun Jaitley for his enduring contribution to the institution, Mr. Shriram said SRCC’s greatest strength lay in its people, its faculty, students, staff, and alumni. Outlining the path forward, he said the college would focus on academic excellence, research, infrastructure expansion, AI enabled learning, entrepreneurship, inclusion, sustainability, and deeper alumni engagement. “Our responsibility now is to ensure that SRCC not only preserves its legacy, but remains relevant, ethical, and nationally significant in the century to come,” he said.

Principal emphasises values and purpose

Welcoming the guests, Prof. Simrit Kaur, Principal, SRCC, said the centenary was a collective achievement shaped by generations of faculty, students, administrators, and alumni.

“For a hundred years, SRCC has stood for purpose over profit and ethics over expediency,” she said, adding that the college remained committed to nurturing socially responsible leaders grounded in ethical business practices, sustainability, and national service. She also acknowledged the continued support of the University leadership and the Governing Body in strengthening the institution’s academic and research framework.

Distinguished alumni reflect on SRCC’s impact

Several eminent alumni and well-wishers attended the ceremony, underscoring SRCC’s enduring influence across public life, industry, and civil society.

Sangeeta Jaitley, wife of late Arun Jaitley, former Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs, recalled the profound impact SRCC had on his life and public journey. “He often spoke about the formative years he spent at this college and how deeply it shaped his thinking and values,” she said. Congratulating SRCC on completing 100 years, she added, “This is a proud moment. I wish the college many more centuries of producing leaders who excel in their own spaces and serve the nation with distinction.”

Justice A.K. Sikri, former Judge of the Supreme Court of India, was also present at the event.

Sunit Sethi, Chairman, Fashion Design Council of India, said SRCC’s alumni success across sectors was rooted in its academic culture. “It is a matter of great pride that SRCC alumni are doing exceptionally well in every field. Much of this credit goes to the college’s versatile, forward-looking faculty,” he said.

Sminu Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal SAW Limited and Founder Chairperson of Svayam, reflected on the institution’s inclusive ethos. “I feel extremely proud to be part of SRCC. As a person on a wheelchair, the college gave me the opportunity to study in an accessible and enabling environment, something that stayed with me throughout my life,” she said.

Vijay Goel, alumnus and former Union Minister, said SRCC played a defining role in shaping his life and leadership journey. “Whatever I am today, I owe to Shri Ram College of Commerce. The values of leadership, discipline, teamwork, and public engagement that I learnt here through academics, sports, student politics, NCC and NSS shaped not just my career, but my character,” he said.

Neeraj Ghei, Co-founder and Promoter of Select Citywalk and Select Synergies and Services Private Limited, highlighted the institution’s role in shaping professional confidence. “SRCC instils a sense of discipline, curiosity and integrity that stays with you long after you leave the campus. It prepares you not just for careers, but for leadership,” he said.

The ceremony concluded with the illumination of the heritage campus, symbolising the dawn of SRCC’s next century, followed by a cultural presentation featuring a Kathak Bharatanatyam jugalbandi and a musical tribute reflecting the eras the institution has witnessed.

The confirmed names include Cimpress (parent company of VistaPrint), PhysicsWallah, Godspeed Gaming, Pocket Films, phantomFX, Rocket Science Animation, Cedge Productions, Pixel and Ratio, Resonance Digital LLP, Nilee Games, Mugafi and Zebu Animation Studios, among others. Furthermore, Canon, the world’s foremost leader in imaging technologies has come onboard as knowledge partner for the Creator X curriculum and experience with MAAC.

With the demand for skilled talent across AVGC-XR digital content production, and immersive media, MAAC aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry expectations.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Sandip Weling, Whole-time Director and Chief Business Officer, Global Retail, Aptech Limited, shared

“The creative industry today requires talent that is technically strong, adaptable and capable of contributing from day one. Career X and Creator X are designed to meet this need by offering students clear learning outcomes, deeper specialisation and exposure to real-life workflows, aimed at developing a mindset that prioritises originality and storytelling skills crucial for all the creators today. Whether learners aim to secure high-growth roles in studios or pursue their own ambitions, MAAC’s programs are designed to equip them with the discipline, industry alignment and future-ready skills essential for success.”

The programs are designed to deliver hands-on, industry-relevant learning experiences that fully engage MAAC students in real-world production practices. Available across select career courses, MAAC students go through their regular course module, i.e., career-focused learning for the initial tenure of the course.

Once the fundamentals are clear and delivered, interested and promising students can avail the Creator-X program designed as a first of its kind industry-integrated and practitioner led learning pathway that prepares the next generation of digital creators for the rapidly evolving Creator Economy. Built in collaboration with leading technology partners, content platforms, filmmaker communities, and creator networks, the program equips learners with the skills, tools, and industry exposure needed to ideate, produce, publish, and monetise content across formats.

The objective of CreatorX is to empower young storytellers to become production-ready creators, skilled in short-form video, digital comics, AI-enabled workflows, and multi-platform publishing while also strengthening their understanding of branding, monetisation, IP rights, and responsible creation. By bridging creative education with real industry opportunities, CreatorX aims to nurture confident, future-ready creators who can contribute meaningfully to India’s fast-growing digital content and creator ecosystem.

Essentially, MAAC is empowering students with two clear learning outcomes with this layered approach. Through Career X, learners continue to go through the course leading to career opportunities eventually. Alternatively, interested learners also get to enrol into the Creator X program should they aspire to be entrepreneurs or content creators in the future.

Introduced during MAAC’s landmark 25^th anniversary year and on the sidelines of 24FPS Creator Fest, the new programs mark a major advancement in the institution’s commitment to preparing students for the next era of creative and digital-first professions.

“MAAC has always led the shift in creative education in India. With CareerX and our new CreatorX program, we are building a future-ready ecosystem that prepares students for both the AVGC-XR industry and the fast-emerging Creator Economy. Our CreatorX program is a standout initiative built as a launchpad for young creators who want to succeed in the rapidly growing Creator Economy. Alongside CareerX, which strengthens talent for the AVGC-XR industry, CreatorX empowers students with real-world production skills, AI-driven workflows, and opportunities to publish and monetise their content. Together, they form a future-forward ecosystem that prepares learners for the next decade of digital careers.” added Mr. Abir Aich, Executive Vice President, Content, Academics & Emerging Technologies at Aptech Ltd.

As MAAC celebrates its silver jubilee year, the successful launch of these pathways stands as a defining chapter in its legacy.
