On 12th Dec 2025 a group of 35 students along with 2 faculty members visited Organo Antharam. Once they entered the premise of Organo Antharam they were welcomed by OES team members and a small introduction shred about Organo Eco habitats and Organo et School.
Mr Soumik Chakraborty, Manager of Business Development team of Organo Eco Habitats gave a brief introduction about the framework followed by Organo i.e. Sapthapatha and later the students were asked to form 7 different groups each representing the seven strands of sustainability – Air, Water, Energy, Earth, Food, Shelter and People. The idea was to give a better idea to the students and team holding each strand will gather information on that area.
To understand food strand the students visited netted house and farm areas of Organo Antharam. The OES team described natural farming practices, drip irrigation and crop planning which will be self-sufficient for each household.
After understanding food, they visited the parking lot where the solar panels were installed to understand the energy management system. Ms Kalyani gave a brief about how Organo Antharam is a net-zero community and how electricity generated at parking areas are utilized by the community including houses and common areas.
They explored the Rurban Hive, understood evaporative cooling techniques and earth air tunnels to keep the temperature low. The uses of locally available materials for construction and its impact on reducing the carbon footprint on the planet.
The water management system was also briefly described by the team. From canals to dug wells and filtration process of bio pool and the Sewage Treatment Plant gave a holistic idea about the visit.
At the end of their tour the students as well as the faculties were overwhelmed by seeing how architects can design a sustainable living space which seems nearly impossible.
Organo Et School empowers people to embrace eco-living mindsets, behaviors, and habits. We recognize that for any positive impact to be sustainable, it must be long-term and inter-generational.
