Inspiria Knowledge Campus is a nextgeneration management college which combines world class infrastructure with latest state-of-the art training inputs. The aim is to deliver the right balance of knowledge and practical skills required to make graduates employable. Conceived in 2010 by the J.P. Sahu Foundation - a non-profit charitable trust, the college is situated in a sprawling 5 acre campus near Siliguri, against the backdrop of the beautiful Himalayas in the north. Affiliated to West Bengal University of Technology, Inspiria presently offers undergraduate degree courses in professional streams such as Computer Science, Hotel & Hospitality Science, Business Administration & Management and Media Science, in addition to a number of short-term vocational and job-oriented courses. The founding members of the college had the vision to comprehend the future landscape that awaits the new generation in India. We live in fast changing times. With the growing role of the IT and corporate sectors, and the emergence of new fast-paced cities driven by latest new-age technologies, what is required is a workforce that is flexible, techno-savvy and practical. The need of the hour is to correlate theory with practical, conceptual with actual and to acquire hands-on skills that blend smoothly with real on-the-job requirements. Conventional text-book based curriculum falls short of the modern day demands. This is the gap that Inspiria Knowledge Campus aims to fill. Inspiria seeks to redefine the way education is imparted to the new generation within the university based curriculum. A NEXT-GEN INSTITUTION Education for the Future

our Logo KNOWLEDGE CAMPUS The logo of Inspiria Knowledge Campus represents wings that exemplifies an aspiration as high as the sky. The concept is to give wings to your educational dreams and make your aims air-borne. Education, symbolized by wings, serves as a salvation for humankind. Devoid of education, an individual remains perpetually enslaved to the doom of ignorance and superstition. Symbolically, the colour blue reflects attributes that are progressive and positive, such as trust, wisdom, intelligence, faith and truth to name just a few. Blue also symbolizes the sky whose horizons are boundless. Our motto is to ensure that graduates who pass out from here should truly be Employable. This is only possible when theoretical teaching is combined with handson practical training and industry exposure. We believe then Employability is a bigger problem than Unemployment.

BALANCED DEVELOPMENT It is said, development comes with a price. Material progress takes a toll on nature and the environment. This is why Sustainable Development has become a buzzword today. The founder members of Inspiria aim to balance the priority for development with the need to maintain the eco-system. The architectural structure of the campus is based on the sustainability factor. The huge open spaces, the green lawns, natural and LED lighting are some of the measures undertaken for environment preservation. In fact we have earmarked a number of strategies towards this end.
AN EYE ON SUSTAINABILITY A PAPER-LESS ENVIRONMENT: Minimize paperbased office work by focusing on virtual, cloud based platforms. GREEN CAMPUS & NATURAL LANDSCAPE: Dedicating large open spaces in the campus to native planting. NATURAL & LED LIGHTING: The design of the campus building smoothly blends with nature and allows greater dependence on natural lighting in the day time. At night LED lights have been installed across the campus, enhancing the green quotient. RAINWATER HARVESTING: We have plans to harvest and store rain water from non-green roofs. MINIMISE PERSONAL VEHICLE USE: Introduce frequent community based bus services from the campus to the City Center bus stop to minimize personal vehicle use. VEGETABLE & HERB GARDEN: The horticulture project can be linked with the hospitality course. ON-SITE GENERATION OF CLEAN ENERGY: We plan to introduce PV, wind and solar based heating/cooling systems. MINIMISE WASTE: Thrust on reducing plastic and paper use and promote recycling
Tea Garden to What was once a part of a tea garden is now an exquisitely designed college campus. However the two images are connected with a common theme the love for green! The lush green lawns surrounding the campus, the environment friendly LED lights and the artistically designed college building blend smoothly with the green ambience. The Love for GREEN An environmentfriendly campus
Teaching Garden The tea bushes have given way for a college campus but the garden remains a teaching garden. Not once will you feel that the ambience in the college clashes with nature. The tree-lined campus, the green lawns and the beautiful surroundings send home the message that development is not necessarily antagonistic to the environment. A garden of knowledge GREEN & SUSTAINABLE
