On the occasion of World Environment Day, I, Dr. Prof. Anand Achari, Principal, VESCOA, take a moment to share my thoughts with you. I wish to reflect on and reiterate the present generation’s responsibility to shape our sustainable, climate-resilient future in harmony with nature. Every decision we make at present, every innovation we pursue, and every structure we design impacts our future world.
At VESCOA, sustainability is a guiding principle woven into our vision and mission. We have integrated sustainability as a non-negotiable aspect of architectural education to create a sustainable humane habitat. Our goal is to develop future architects who are technically competent and moral leaders who understand that their designs must coexist with nature and act as committed and responsible agents for positive change to serve society.
At VESCOA, we believe that architectural education must evolve to meet the demands of a sustainable, ethical, and adaptable vision. Our academic frameworks, collaborative projects, and research initiatives contribute meaningfully to a better world. VESCOA is relentlessly spearheading a mission to build not just for today but for a future that thrives in balance with nature.
Real change begins with individual commitment. Simple actions like reducing waste, conserving resources, embracing the climate-responsive design approach, and respecting nature collectively drive the global movement toward sustainability. At VESCOA, we instill a sense of environmental stewardship and encourage pro-environment behaviour. Today, through the multiple initiatives of VESCOA Green Club, we reaffirm our commitment to restoring and protecting ecosystems in recognition of World Environment Day.
