Delivering the 7th Annual Lecture at NIIT University here on its Foundation Day, he said, "Green technologies like earth-air tunnels, rain water harvesting facilities and water recycling systems would help the educational institutions to become self-sufficient."

On the occasion, the varsity also felicitated 'Water Man of India' Rajendra Singh, recipient of the 'Nobel Prize for Water – The Stockholm Water Prize', for his contribution of bringing water to 1,000 villages in India.Advocating the idea of "green campuses", Rajendra said, "Our generation has taken mother nature for granted and we are already paying dearly for it. It is time that we take decisive measures to minimise damage to the environment and live in harmony with nature."
