The proposed CAFÉ norms require trucks to be 30% more fuel-efficient. Let's break this down
Earlier: A truck used 10 litres of diesel for 100 km.
Now: It needs only 7 litres.
That’s a 3-litre saving every 100 km → thousands of litres saved per truck every year.
Multiply that by lakhs of trucks = cleaner air + big savings for India
Take warning signs seriously — your body speaks before it breaks. Don’t let junk food steal your health and energy.
Choose healthy habits: eat balanced, stay active, and manage stress. Get regular check-ups to keep your heart strong and safe. #DontMissABeat #WorldHeartDay2025
From trash to treasure, our visit to the micro-composting centre showed college students how organic waste can become a valuable resource for soil and farming. It was a powerful reminder that waste segregation and composting are key to sustainable lifestyle. Let’s compost today for a greener tomorrow!
We pride ourselves on our young population. Yet 66.4% of road crash victims in 2023 were between 18-45 years. Every such loss brings not only emotional trauma but also severe financial strain, especially for low-income households. It’s time to act now - better road design, stricter enforcement, and safer driving habits can save lives.
Heavy-duty trucks make up only a small share of India’s fleet, but they’re responsible for 71% of transport CO₂ emissions.
With freight traffic set to rise, so will fuel use and oil imports.
Stricter fuel-efficiency norms are critical to cut pollution and save fuel.
Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFÉ) norms, introduced in 2017 under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, are rules to make vehicles more fuel-efficient.
They aim to:
Cut CO₂ emissions
Reduce oil use, especially imported oil
Lower air pollution
Today, let us remember that small choices can make a big impact. By leaving your car at home and choosing to walk, cycle or take public transport, you are helping to:
Conserve fossil fuel
Reduce air pollution
Ease traffic congestion
Save Money
Improve your health and well being
Let’s reimagine our cities as cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable spaces.
By 2030, nearly 600 million Indians will live in cities, straining housing, transport, and resources. #SDG11 calls for affordable housing, green transport, and resilient urban planning so cities remain safe, inclusive, and sustainable. #Act4SDGs #UrbanFuture
A little sharing goes a long way!
Students came together to host a thrift shop, showing how reusing, exchanging, and supporting each other can make sustainable living simple and joyful. And the best part is we can all start small and create such sharing spaces in our own communities too!
Our research on safe school zones revealed startling findings—air pollution levels spike during school opening and closing hours. The culprit? Heavy traffic congestion from drop-offs and pick-ups, leading to dangerous emission surges right when children are most exposed. At the launch of our Safe School Zones report, Dr. K. Divyalakshmi shared practical recommendations—captured in the slides—to help protect children from the harmful effects of air pollution.
The ozone layer is Earth’s protective shield, guarding life from harmful UV rays. On this Ozone Day, we celebrate progress and call for stronger action to keep our skies safe, our climate stable, and our future secure. #OzoneDay #ClimateAction #ProtectOurPlanet
