Mumbai: IIM Indore commenced its Group VIII Project – ‘ABHYUDAYA‘, to enhance its educational infrastructure.
The project, worth Rs. 432 Crores (plus GST), was inaugurated by the Institute’s Director, Prof. Himanshu Rai. The ceremony was conducted in a traditional Vaidik manner, with Prof. Rai personally performing the priestly duties, reflecting the project’s deep cultural roots and the institution’s respect for traditional practices.
Prof.Rai expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “ABHYUDAYA represents a leap forward for IIM Indore, aligning our infrastructure with our educational aspirations. This expansion will not only enhance our academic offerings but also significantly contribute to the holistic development of our students and faculty.”
The project is committed to sustainable development and moving towards a net-zero campus by integrating advanced environmental technologies such as solar power systems, solar water heating, and a state-of-the-art sewage treatment plant. The comprehensive landscaping plans include the use of native plant species and the development of green spaces to enhance biodiversity and provide ecological benefits.
“These initiatives reflect our dedication to creating an eco-friendly learning environment that aligns with global sustainability standards and helps prepare students to be conscientious future leaders,” added Prof. Rai.
ABHYUDAYA encompasses the construction of state-of-the-art academic facilities, including a new academic building designed to accommodate 870 students across multi-storey hostel blocks, offices for 70 faculty members and an equal number of staff and associates, as well as residential quarters for 32 faculty members. The academic buildings will feature versatile learning spaces, including classrooms of various sizes, faculty offices, lounges, and administrative zones, all equipped with modern cafeterias.
The project also introduces an MDC Academic Block and Incubation Center to support Management Development Programmes and provide specialized facilities for DPM participants and virtual learning programmes.
Residential accommodations are a key aspect of ABHYUDAYA, with the construction of a high-rise hostel featuring 870 single occupancy rooms with attached bathrooms, ensuring comfortable and private living arrangements for students. The MDC accommodation block will provide modern lodging solutions for visiting faculty and guests. The infrastructure also includes a new dining hall capable of serving 300 students simultaneously and a terrace food court, fostering engaging community interactions.
The project is designed to achieve a GRIHA 5-star rating, incorporating adaptive state-of-the-art technology and future-resilient design elements for environmental efficiency and comfort. The buildings are oriented to maximize natural sunlight and ventilation, reducing reliance on artificial heating and cooling. Features such as “Brise-Soleil” provide thermal comfort while minimizing energy consumption. The campus promotes the use of electric vehicles by integrating electrical charging kiosks in 30% of its parking areas, demonstrating a commitment to environmentally friendly development and a net-zero energy goal.
The new infrastructure is seamlessly integrated with the existing campus structures via a ceremonial walkway, enhancing connectivity and accessibility. Advanced water and waste management systems, including separate treatments for brown and grey water and the segregation of dry and wet waste, emphasize sustainability. The use of recyclable materials and the generation of 1800 KW of solar power further minimize the environmental footprint. Indoor air quality is significantly improved with the installation of MERV-8 filters and UVGI systems in Air Handling Units.
Classrooms are designed to support online, offline, and hybrid teaching, equipped with cutting-edge technology to facilitate a dynamic learning environment. Energy efficiency is optimized throughout the campus with the use of occupancy sensors for lighting and air conditioning, ensuring judicious resource utilization. These advanced features promote a healthier, more sustainable campus and align with IIM Indore’s mission to foster an innovative and conscientious educational setting.
Upon completion, ABHYUDAYA will mark a significant advance in educational infrastructure at IIM Indore, featuring state-of-the-art facilities designed for sustainability. This project sets a new standard in eco-friendly campus development and demonstrates the institution’s commitment to responsible and innovative educational environments while moving closer to achieving a net-zero impact.
