With the natural surroundings playing such a vital role within Dharana at Shillim, we must conserve and protect the natural environment. Besides promoting conscious conservation and sustainability, we practice environmental conservation:
Solar Farms :
Harnessing the natural power of the sun to reduce the dependency on non-renewable fossil fuels that take decades to form. With a 500 KW solar panel farm on-site, 80% of the retreat’s power requirements are met by clean energy
Rainwater Harvesting :
Water is a precious resource that must be conserved. We practise rainwater harvesting that provides water for up to four months a year.
Waste Reduction :
With an Organic Waste Composer on site, all organic waste from our nourishing spaces is converted into nutrient-rich manure and used for farming.
Sustainable Farming :
Farming practices can cause irreversible damage to the soil and water sources around. By practising sustainable farming, we grow wholesome, seasonal produce, use natural fertilisers and use drip irrigation for water conservation.
Energy Efficient Technology :
We use LPG-fired steam generators, efficient light fittings, and VRV air-conditioning technologies.
Additionally, the House of Knowledge, an NGO dedicated to protecting the Shillim Forest, has many environmental conservation practices. From reforestation to protect biodiversity and strengthen the soil, to practising water conservation through percolation ponds and gully plugs. Besides educating, the Institute also hires locals as forest guards to protect the forest. Through their tireless efforts, 179 species of flora and 213 species of fauna have been conserved.
