National Institute of Technology Jamshedpur is delighted to announce the GoGreen Club. One of the biggest challenges mankind faces today is climate change and its adverse effects. GoGreen Club has come up with the commitment to work in the direction of spreading knowledge about the unsustainable use of natural resources and associated environmental impacts. GoGreen Club convenes the young minds of NIT Jamshedpur to raise awareness among the institute fraternity on global climate change, conservation of resources, and more importantly, promoting the green way of life. I wish the club conveys the message of redefining the relationship of humanity with nature and educating the community about how small lifestyle choices impact the environment. My sincere appreciation is extended to the whole team of GoGreen Club for using their acquired knowledge and skills in taking thoughtful, positive action in their capacity toward the resolution of environmental issues. It is my hope that, with heightened understanding, we can enhance our collective commitment to bringing up a sustainable and sensitive society toward the total environment.

Message from Advisor of GoGreen Club

It is very heartening to see the creation of GoGreen club at NIT Jamshedpur to promote cleaner and greener ways of living and to help reduce the carbon footprint of people in and around the campus to begin with.
I hope that GoGreen club will play a major role in making our empowered engineering community to be more aware about the state of our environment, ecosystems and climate. I wish this initiative grows to the heights of inspiring such initiatives in other engineering colleges across the country .
I am sure that the GoGreen Club will bring back the society closer to its life support systems which has increasingly grown away from them.
Climate change , habitat loss, declining population of pollinators, urban pollution, water pollution and declining water tables and soil pollution are some of the burning issues the society has to deal with and Go green club will help in fighting with these challenges through awareness and technology. I wish the club promotes and inspire engineering community at NIT Jamshedpur to develop Green Technologies to fight these challenges and to promote sustainable ways of living.
My Best Wishes to Team GoGreen !
