Mehrauli Archaeological Park Excursion

The Emerson CoE’s commitment to experiential and field-based learning, undergraduate students of TERI School of Advanced Studies participated in a structured excursion to Mehrauli Archaeological Park, New Delhi, on 2nd May 2025. The activity was designed to bridge classroom concepts with real-world observation, enabling students to understand how climate change manifests as a tangible, measurable force acting upon urban heritage landscapes.

The visit was preceded by an interactive presentation session on 24th April and a briefing session on 1st May, making it a three-phase learning programme that moved from conceptual grounding to structured field inquiry.

Examining Sustainability Dimensions with A Business Management Lens

Sustainability has become integral to contemporary business and industrial practices, shaping how organisations manage resources, mitigate risks and ensure long-term value creation. Students of the MBA in Sustainability Management (Batch 2025–27) at TERI School of Advanced Studies examined key sustainability dimensions through a business lens and presented a series of research posters reflecting the evolving shift in business thinking.

The poster presentation encouraged students to transcend theory, highlight key sustainable challenges faced by businesses and provide solution-centric, scalable business models across major net-zero transition areas, including circular economy and waste management, renewable energy and material recovery, water and wastewater systems, sustainable food and agriculture, urban ecosystems and climate resilience and low-carbon business and policy innovations.
