I am happy to present the ESCI News Letter. During last year ESCI has put in lot of efforts to serve the engineering, management & scientific professionals to identify and fulfil their need based training requirements and developing our Annual training calendar for the FY 2019-20.

Keeping the dynamic requirements and the ever increasing training needs of our customers, our recently released Annual Training Calendar 2019-20 includes new programmes such as Blockchain Technology, Cyber Security, Climate Change, 3D Printing, simulation programmes etc. Social media and digital marketing including an “ESCI app” for enhanced outreach has been launched recently. This will benefit our participants and the sponsoring organizations.

ESCI is also identified as one of the Key Resource Centres (KRC) for training activities by the Central Electricity Authority, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Ministry of Rural Water Supply and Department of Science & Technology. We are also partnering with UNICEF for “Strengthen water supply and quality services, Government and Community Partnership to streamline and scale up sustainable safe WASH services”

ESCI has been playing an active role in the Central Government’s efforts to achieve national mission objectives in Swatch Bharat (AMRUT), Rural Water Supply & Renewable Energy (Solar Photo Voltaic) and initiatives in Skill Development. Institute is also venturing into emerging technologies such as Additive Manufacturing, Climate Change (Carbon footprints), Intelligent Buildings, Information Security, Green Energy, Smart Grid, Blockchain, IoT, AI, Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles, and ISO Accreditations. Our Faculty Development Programmes (FDP) focus on accreditation and proficiency development of TEQIP Institutions

To bridge the gap between industry and academics, ESCI is conducting AICTE approved PGDM courses in Infrastructure Management & General Management. The aim is to empower a student with apt skill for professional growth and to design their career in a structured manner. As of now we have over 237 Students undergoing these programmes. Admission for the Next batch is also started. The applications are available on the ESCI Web Portal & ESCI app

ESCI has also carried out various prestigious World Bank assignments including programmes for international organizations like UNESCO, UNICEF, and FANSA in India and abroad. We hope that the Professional Development Programmes scheduled for the FY 2019-20 will meet the expectations of our esteemed customers and we look forward to your continued patronage to ESCI’s educational endeavours.

Circular Economy – A Way Forward To Rethink On Sustainable Waste Management

Dr. M.Subha, Head, EMD

Cities are the nucleus of growth, partnership, knowledge and Innovation. Resources consumption and waste generation are the two major effects of rapid urbanisation with massive growth in the population. India being a seventh largest country in the world with annual urbanization rate of 2.28%, expected to add 400 million urban dwellers between 2016 and 2050. The urban centres are currently generating 62 million tons of municipal solid waste per annum. It is projected that by 2031, 165 million tons of municipal solid waste will be generated annually and it could reach 436 million tons by 2050. This results in adverse impact on human health and ecosystem. To mitigate the impact, cities are adopting a 3Rs principle which revolves around “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle”. The outcome of this principle in realization is very minimal and cities are failing to attain the sustainability. To realise a smart waste management system, maximize resource recovery and reduce risks to humans and ecosystem, the transition to a circular waste management paradigm is required and this aspect is widely discussed in the development circles today. Circular economy is a restorative and regenerative system that aims to keep products, components and materials at their highest ability and values at all times.

In place of tradition 3Rs, three more Rs namely “Repair, Refurbish and Remanufacture” are added in circular economy concept totaling it to 6Rs to realise a smart and environmentally friendly design and sustainable manufacturing that lead to resource efficient and cleaner production by stepping away from the traditional, “take-make-dispose models”. This transition to circular economy in India calls for extensive collaborative efforts between key stakeholders, including regulators, policy makers, corporates and financial institutions which can provide the necessary fillip to key Government of India missions and ensure the next wave of growth in the country.

A duty which becomes a desire will ultimately become a delight- George Gritter
