The eco friendly campus

One thing that one cannot help notice ( & experience) at IIT-Kgp is the lush greenery & almost pollution free air thanks to the extensive green cover here & also that the preferred mode of transport is the humble bicycle-by regulation for students (except defence/ married people who are exempt from this rule) & also for quite a lot of the Profs who despite the fact that they aren't bound by any regulation prefer this eco friendly mode of transport. Another two-wheeler which can be seen in wide use here is the battery run scooters which people use widely & are emission as well as noise free (they make even less sound than the average bicycle). All this contributes towards IIT-Kgp being one of the most green & fresh campuses I've seen. It's great to live here.
