Department Profile

Established in the year 2005, Department of Environmental Sciences and Management

(formerly Dept. of Environmental Management) has made significant strides in the

academic education, research and outreach programs. The genesis of the Department

overlie on the core principles of holistic approaches to the sustainable development.

Since inception the department has been focusing on multidisciplinary and

interconnected scientific linkages to trace the environmental processes, ecosystem

degradation, impacts of development on environmental components and the future

challenges including ecosystem resilience. To realize the vision, in the year 2006,

MBA in Environmental Management was introduced encompassing the concepts of

planet, people and profit. The MBA was recognized and funded under UGC

innovative program during 2008-2012. Till date, more than 200 environmental

professionals have been successfully placed in various sectors including multinational

corporate companies, urban governance, research organizations, academia, NGOs and

outreach programs across India and abroad.

To address the modern environmental challenges, a new PG program in MSc

Environmental Sciences and Sustainable Management is introduced for the upcoming

academic year 2019-2020. The new MSc program will focus on advanced and modern

scientific, technological principles and development. New approaches of

environmental resource management including environmental informatics,

environmental health and safety management, climate change adaptation-mitigation

and ecological restoration in the curriculum is expected to deliver smart environmental

professionals.

In terms research, the department has completed a number research projects and

programs supported by DST, DBT, DRDO, MoEF, UGC, and IUCN. Department of

Environmental Sciences and Management is currently equipped with advanced

instrumental laboratory (AAS, HPLC, PM 2.5/PM 10 air samplers, UV-VIS

spectrophotometers, Portable hydrolab, GIS software, etc) and expertise to carry out

research and consultancy projects related to Environmental Management,

Environmental Impact Assessment, Air Pollution, Heath GIS, Sensor web for real-

time monitoring, Sustainable Agriculture, Bioremediation and sustainable

development. Currently the department is offering consultancy services and there are

two on-going consultancy projects of which one addresses climate adaptation program

funded by Asian Development Bank, Executed by PWD, Govt. of Tamilnadu.
