Promoting public pledge
2023
Shoolini University promotes a public pledge toward 100% renewable energy through various initiatives and events. On May 3, 2016, in celebration of International Sun Day, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. P.K. Khosla, administered a pledge to faculty, students, and staff to commit to energy conservation and the use of clean renewable energy resources.
The university has taken several steps to fulfill this pledge, including:
- Installation of a 400 kWp grid-connected Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant to generate green electricity, producing 1400-1600 units of electricity daily.
- Implementation of solar water heating systems with a capacity of 38,000 liters per day.
- Introduction of a concentrated solar-powered community cooking system in the girls' hostel, capable of serving 500 people and replacing three commercial LPG cylinders daily, thereby reducing carbon emissions.
- Deployment of electric carts for local transportation on campus and the restriction of petroleum-based vehicles to further minimize carbon dioxide emissions.
- Extensive installation of solar streetlights throughout the campus. Additionally, the university has established a biogas system for cooking and an automatic weather station for measuring solar radiation, contributing to ongoing research and development in sustainable energy. These measures collectively demonstrate Shoolini University's commitment to renewable energy and environmental sustainability beyond the university community.

2022
Shoolini University have pledged for converting and utilization of 100% renewable energy w.e.f. year 2016.
Existence of promotion
- As a part of the promotion Shoolini University has already installed 400kWp grid-connected Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant in the university campus to generate green electricity which generates 1400-1600 units of electricity per day.
- Additionally, solar water heating systems of capacity 38000 lpd are also installed in the university campus.
- In the girls’ hostel of the Shoolini University a concentrated solar powered community cooking system was installed for cooking food for 500 persons. This system has the capacity to replace 3 commercial LPG cylinders per day which also results in the major reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.
- Moreover, University has introduced Electric Cart in the University campus for local transportations and has restricted all other conventional petroleum-based modes of transportation inside the campus. This initiative also contributes reductions in carbon dioxide emissions in the university campus to make it Green campus.
