Considering the demanding requirements for green infrastructures, AICTE plans to train 1 lakh Architecture and Engineering students on green building infrastructure and concepts.
AICTE will develop the course curricula in consultation with Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), which has expertise in this field.
The initiative will encourage all the Civil and Architectural Engineering students to learn new skills to develop green cities.
