Empowering Institutions to Nurture Sustainability Champions

GRIHA CATALYST MEMBERSHIP BROCHURE

Academic institutions are the bedrock of societal transformation as they shape young minds, instill values, and prepare students to address real-world challenges with critical thinking, innovation, and responsibility. Recognizing this vital role, the GRIHA Council has introduced the CATALYST Membership, a unique initiative designed specifically for educational institutions across India.

The CATALYST Membership is a dedicated program for schools, colleges, and universities that are committed to promoting sustainability in education. It serves as a platform to integrate green building concepts and sustainable development principles into academic environments, while giving students the opportunity to engage actively with India’s leading green rating system — GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment).
