Empowering Institutions to Nurture Sustainability Champions
Academic institutions are the bedrock of societal transformation as they shape young minds, instill values, and prepare students to address real-world challenges with critical thinking, innovation, and responsibility. Recognizing this vital role, the GRIHA Council has introduced the CATALYST Membership, a unique initiative designed specifically for educational institutions across India.
The CATALYST Membership is a dedicated program for schools, colleges, and universities that are committed to promoting sustainability in education. It serves as a platform to integrate green building concepts and sustainable development principles into academic environments, while giving students the opportunity to engage actively with India’s leading green rating system — GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment).
