The twenty-first century will undoubtedly represent a high point for human civilization in the development and utilization of knowledge on an unprecedented scale. We are living in a period of rapid change when skills and expertise in several fields are expanding across the globe while the depth and rigor of education needed to create these crosses new frontiers. There are unique opportunities today to produce leaders in various disciplines, who not only advance the content of specific professions but who are also sensitive to the importance of environmental protection and the need to maintain equity, ecological security, and the wealth of this planet’s natural resources. TERI University has been set up as an institution of higher learning to meet this set of needs for a rapidly developing India. But, as a global institution, while it draws strength from the ethos and traditions of India, the University reaches out in sourcing knowledge from across the globe. It also derives major strength from the reservoir of knowledge, experience, and research activities of its parent body, TERI. In its 13 years of functioning, the University has achieved significant progress in creating an institution of higher learning with a strong foundation of research and innovation.

RK PachauriChancellor, TERI University

TERI University aims to create a workforce that is empowered to better align sustainability considerations in the pursuit of economic growth and human well-being. For doing so, we ensure that the enormous learning we have from TERI on the diverse, yet inter-related, aspects of Sustainable Development, enhanced with the research and knowledge of our own faculty members, is used to create cutting-edge, inter-disciplinary curricula. This curriculum also benefits from a continuous feedback from academic peers at the national and global levels, from the employers of our students and from the students themselves—resulting in refined content and pedagogy on an annual basis. The active engagement of international faculty members and guest lecturers, along with the presence of international students on campus, ensures that a student of TERI University not only qualifies as a “sustainability professional” but is also comfortable in a multicultural setting. With a set of identifiable areas of domain expertise, these students have the unique advantage of appreciating the roles and contributions of different disciplines in finding solutions for complex real-life challenges. Engagement with research projects, industry exposure and field visits—including, in some cases, international exchanges—all contribute to the making of these well-rounded individuals who are seeking to engage usefully with global development processes. We are sure that you will appreciate the value that TERI University students bring to the workforce and will, while deploying them productively in your organization, encourage them to hone their skills further for the greater good. We would, of course, at all times value any feedback that you would like to offer us.

TERI University at a Glance TERI University was established to disseminate the vast reservoir of knowledge created by TERI. The depth and breadth of TERI University’s academic offering is rooted in the comprehensive research, consultancy, and outreach activities of TERI, a not for-profit, independent research institute recognized globally for its contribution to scientific and policy research in the realms of energy, environment, and sustainable development. TERI’s legacy has being a key influence as well as an inspiration in the evolution of the University’s academic units.

The university aspires to be an institution of higher learning which meets the need of a rapidly growing India. The academic programmes are envisioned to provide the students with a holistic perspective of the subjects at hand and have a wide approach to encourage interdisciplinary learning. This vision was further strengthened in 1999, when the University was granted the “Deemed to be University” status by the University Grants Commission and notified by the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Department of Education, Government of India, notification no. F.9/19/95-U-3, dated 5 October 1999.Since its inception, the University has offered not just world-class education, but also an environment that enables its students to develop fresh perspectives in their subject areas. Before moving to Vasant Kunj, the University was housed in the Darbari Seth Block of India Habitat Centre from 1998 to 2008. In 2008, TERI University started functioning from the new ‘green campus’, located in Vasant Kunj. It, however, continues to share the rich and diverse resources of TERI in terms of knowledge and expertise.

AdministrationDr RK Pachauri the Director-General of TERI is the Chancellor of the University. Dr Leena Srivastava serves as the Vice-Chancellor, and Dr Rajiv Seth is the Registrar of the University. The University’s Board of Management is responsible for its overall administration and control with the Chancellor being the Chairman of the Board. All the aspects of academic policy are under the purview of the Academic Council, chaired by the Vice-Chancellor approves the curricula, courses and examination results. Furthermore the academic council appoints Committees to look into specific academic matters arising from time to time.

structureThe University has evolved as an organizational structure drawing on the research activities of TERI. Besides the core teaching staff of the University, staff of TERI with PhDs and rich research experience of working on projects in various areas function as adjunct faculty.

Academic Programmes

The academic programmes at TERI University are focused around the challenges of providing for a rising global population with a limited and degraded natural resource base. In moving towards sustainability, the implicit understanding is that there is no panacea, or straight road with recognized and established methodologies, tools or specializations leading to such development. The solutions, therefore, do not lie in a specific subject discipline, but must be appropriate and relevant to the context or the practical problem being addressed.

Developing such an understanding among our students is best achieved through exposure to a variety of subjects, tools, and methodologies in the interdisciplinary mode. This has been the guiding philosophy of the TERI University’s programmes and is practiced by building a theoretical understanding in courses covering a variety of traditional disciplines such as ecology, the natural and social sciences, governance, policy, law, and engineering. Over a period of two years, students converge upon a few areas of focus based upon their interest, having been exposed to a new way of thinking that looks at problems not from the lens of a subject specialist, but from the perspective of one who recognizes the complex linkages between man and his environment.

The University uses modern pedagogical tools, richly supplemented by field visits, live industry projects, and hands-on applications. The University provides the very best in equipment and instruments, which includes state-of-the art computer hardware and software, well-equipped laboratories, video-conferencing facilities, and access to South Asia’s most comprehensive library on energy and environment. TERI University was, recently, awarded the India Today award for the most innovative curriculum. It has also received grade " A" accreditation by NAAC.
