The industrial visit, held on January 25, 2020, was part of the Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility course and a Global Learning activity organised by Prof Shrinivas Shikaripurkar (Adjunct Faculty, SP Jain).

During the visit, students got the opportunity to interact with Dr Erach Bharucha (Ex-Chairman of Maharashtra State Biodiversity Board) and Vivek Vishwasrao (Head of Biodiversity, Tata Power). They learnt how Tata Power had implemented sustainable business practices while providing clean energy to localities around Mumbai and Pune.

Dr Bharucha questioned the students to think about the way they perceive the environment. He provided the students with a holistic perspective that supplemented their academic learning in class. Mr Vishwasrao spoke about the business aspect and explained how Tata Power was giving back to the community by breeding a near-extinct fish – the Mahseer – to ensure its survival.

The Tata Power industrial visit proved to be an ideal way for our students to start the Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility course as they learnt how small initiatives towards sustainability help in ensuring a safe and conducive environment for future generations.
