The higher education institutions act as role models for incorporating sustainable practices by adopting various development strategies and actions in the core activities such as teaching, research and community outreach as well as in other activities like spatial planning, management of physical growth and development, maintenance of buildings and open spaces, supply of electricity, water and other utilities, etc. These institutions play an important part in taking different sustainable initiatives. This paper attempts to benchmark and appraise the sustainability concerns based on the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. The indicators of sustainability under physical and social pillars have been localised for the Guru Nanak Dev University Campus and the campus has been assessed based on the identified parameters. – Reproduced
