GRACIAS - Green Resolution in Academic Campuses for Intellectually Aware Sustainability

The growing concern on sustainability-based studies has seen an unprecedented number of ideas flowing in all domains of research. The word “sustainability” has gained so much importance and popularity that it has strategized various venues of professional spaces into naturally co-existent living forms. The Universities and organizations too are facilitating the awareness and paradigm transformation from workplace into hubs of holistic development. The transformation is seen at all levels of management and operations keeping a close empathetic connect with the environment. Be it a role of consumer of resources or the beneficiaries, all have been put under the umbrella of Correlated-cum-Integrated Sustainability. In the same context, this paper presents structural reformation in the hierarchy of the University functioning to imbibe sustainability in its culture. The attributes of sustainability are distributed coherently to implement sustainable campus where each cadre of human resource and environment is coupled to envisage a sustainable aura. The concept of GRACIAS - Green Resolution in Academic Campuses for Intellectually Aware Sustainability, is a model framework for realizing the concepts, goals, and targets of sustainability as gradual and measurable units of achievement.
