From integrating green thinking into the curriculum to undertaking rainwater harvesting, and setting up a climate-friendly campus, Universal Business School promises to do it all

Business schools in India are waking up to the world's newfound enthusiasm in preserving the environment, but one upcoming B-school is gearing up to become a pioneer in eco-friendly MBA programmes.

Universal Business School (UBS) is slated to open in January 2011 in a valley in Karjat, 91 km from Mumbai. Its MBA programmes will strive to emphasise the drastic way the world has shifted, away from industrial standards and toward a more eco-conscious lifestyle.

"Business programmes serve an important role in emphasising this shift because the MBA students of today will face the responsibility of tackling environmental disruptions as business leaders tomorrow, with global warming becoming more noticeable," said UBS co-founder Tarun Anand, who is also managing director and head of South Asia, Thomson Reuters.u00a0
