DIMAPUR: In a significant step towards promoting environmental stewardship and community participation, Zunheboto Government College, in collaboration with the Zunheboto Forest Division, will launch the Green Campus Initiative on August 12 as the first pilot project under the Community Social Responsibility (ComSR) model.
The ComSR model, initiated by Zunheboto Forest Division during the 1st Satoi Connect Fest on March 26, 2026, is a people centric approach based on the belief that every individual has a responsibility towards society and the environment. While Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) encourages businesses to contribute to social development, ComSR extends this principle to every citizen, institution, village, school, college, organisation and community, encouraging voluntary action for the common good.
Modelled on the philosophy of “We Before Me,” ComSR recognises that meaningful and lasting development is achieved when individuals place community interests alongside their own and work together for collective progress. It promotes a culture where individuals and institutions contribute their time, knowledge, skills and resources for environmental conservation, education, public welfare and sustainable development.
As the first pilot initiative under ComSR, the Green Campus Initiative seeks to transform Zunheboto Government College into a model of environmental sustainability. The programme will focus on green audits, tree plantation, biodiversity conservation, waste segregation, water and energy conservation, reduction of single use plastics and environmental awareness. Organisers expressed hope that the successful implementation of this pilot project will inspire other educational institutions, villages, government offices, civil society organisations and community groups across the district to adopt similar initiatives under the ComSR framework.
