 Anil Agarwal Green College
The Anil Agarwal Green College (AAGC), an initiative of the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), seeks to make knowledge investments in society through education and training programmes.
AAGC courses address issues that lie at the interface of environment and development policy, science, technology, poverty, democracy and equity.
Housed in a building adjacent to CSE’s main office, AAGC has state-of-art training facilities.
Courses range from technical workshops on how to build rainwater harvesting systems to policy briefings on ecological poverty and food safety, to hands-on training on environmental communication and advocacy. Training programmes are aimed at a wide range of interest groups, from students, academicians, government officials and regulators, to mid-level professionals in the development sector, urban planners, engineers and journalists, among others.

 Domestic wastewater treatment and reuse
New Delhi,
The explosive, haphazard, and thirsty growth of urban India generates tonnes of mostly untreated waste in its wake. A problem compounded by poor management, inefficiencies and inequities.
The course includes hands-on sessions on designing localised wastewater treatment systems, interactive seminars, detailed case studies, and field trips that help explore alternatives -- from the current capital, water and material-intensive processes of urban water management to a more cost effective, non-sewarage paradigm.
