  1. Green Initiatives Rajbhawan Nainital Rajbhawan Dehradun

  2. RB Dehradun -Waste Management • Segregation of waste • Stopped burning of leaf litter • Big compost pits dug-large leaf litter and kitchen waste-200 quintals of compost • Benefits- • Recycling and reuse of resources • Check air pollution • Reduced emission of GHG • Saved money on manure for gardens • Use of compost • Carbon sequestration by trapping in soil-some CH4

  3. Water Management • Leaky supply pipes–lots of water wasted • Flooding of lawns • High rainfall • Initiatives- • Replaced worn out pipe line • Sprinkler Irrigation • Harvested rainwater • Five structures-about one lakh capacity • Solar powered pump (1.8kw) • 25LPD water purifier-drinking water

  4. Biodiversity Conservation • 500 Bamboos planted as screen • 400 fruit and other plants and herbs –locally available • Recycled paper invitation and Certificate- Spring festival • Environmental Benefits • Recycle and reuse of paper-conservation • Fast growing species-green campus • Attracts lots of avian fauna • Carbon sequestration

  5. Energy Managment • Of the 48,000 watt illumination 42,500 is through CFL • Electrical fittings checked and redone wherever needed- to avoid accident, leaking and wastage of electricity • Solar water heating-one 200LPD. Seven more. • 165 litre solar powered DC refrigerator* • Biogas plant-5 Cum –kitchen and garden waste-residue-compost* • Street and Garden lighting through 7kw plus 2kw solar PV Power plants*

  6. Rajbhawan Nainital • 86.65 ha area • The Government house –foundation April 1897-more than 100 year old-European pattern and gothic architecture • Natural Forest Ecosystems ~160 acres- few and rare • 45 acres Golf course • 6700 ft MSL • 8-10 moths cold-long winter • Copious rainfall

  7. Water & Bioddiversity Conservation • A reservoir ~18 lakh litre capacity- harvest rainwater • Seven trees in the site translocated • Use gravitational force and sprinklers for irrigation • Saves about 1500 litres of diesel use-carbon emission • Checklist of important plants, birds and mammals • Planting local species of trees, shrubs, orchids

  8. Energy Management • Five Wind Power generators one kw capacity* • One 5kw solar power plant* • Five solar water heater 200LPD with electric backup* • One solar power heater 100 LPD with electric backup* • Battery operated golf cart* • Restoration of Heritage building under JnNURM using local material

  9. Way Ahead Domestic Solid Waste-segregate, recycle, reuse Harvest Rainwater-mandatory in urban byelaws-use pricing of municipal supply as a tool Green building as norm for government buildings Waste water recycle-incentive for reuse in the form price draw back in municipal supply Use of bio sensor and photo sensor switching system building and street lighting respectively Solar power-tropical areas as off grid solution for last mile connectivity and heating for domestic use Direct subsidy for biogas usage-semi urban areas Revisit wood substitution policy
