We apologise for the statements contained in our earlier communication concerning the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate demise of Sahil.

The details and circumstances leading up to the incident remain subject to investigation by the appropriate authorities. In view of the ongoing investigation, it was inappropriate to have set out or characterised details relating to the events preceding his demise before they had been duly established through the appropriate investigative process.

🌱 IIT Bombay marked the opening of Green Cup 2026–27, the Institute's flagship Inter-Hostel Sustainability Championship, reinforcing its commitment to a clean, green, and happy campus.

Green Cup runs throughout the year, turning hostels into active participants in campus sustainability by scoring them on how they manage energy, water and waste. For 2026–27, the general championship adds a new individual participation track to inculcate sustainability values among all students conducting case competitions, debates and workshops, and is supported by a growing network of Sustainability Champions across hostels.

The ceremony was graced by the Director Prof. Shireesh Kedare along with Dean (Student Affairs) Prof. Kowsik Bodi, Associate Dean (Student Affairs) Prof. Himanshu Bahirat, Associate Dean (Student Affairs) Prof. Deepak Marla, Dean (IPS) Prof. P. Vedagiri, Associate Dean (IPS, EMA) Prof. Neeraj Kumbhakarna, Associate Dean (IPS, EHS) Prof. Prakash Nanthagopalan, and other Institute leadership and faculty, marking the launch of the new season and the close of the last.

The Director's address underscored how sustainability can be woven into everyday campus life. Coinciding with Teachers' Day, the occasion was also marked by the Cell's gratitude to the faculty and functionaries whose guidance has shaped its work through the years.

The evening also celebrated the hostels that led the way in 2025–26, with awards recognizing the season's strongest performers with the overall winner being Hostel 18.

Congratulations to the winning hostels, and to every student, staff member, and faculty member advancing sustainability at IIT Bombay. Here's to an even more impactful year ahead.
