The State Environment-impact-assessment”>Environment Impact Assessment Committee (SEIAC) has asked for a detailed assessment of the environmental impact of the All IndiaInstituteofAyurvedaproject coming up atDhargaliminPernemtaluka.
The project is coming up on an area of 2 lakh sqm, which is devoid of any tree cover. But as part of the project, 2,600 trees will be planted on the campus, the SEIAC has been told.
The SEIAC, however, has laid down a condition that indigenous species of trees should be planted. The project proponent has been asked to consult the Goa State Board on the choice of trees.
The institute is being setup under the Union Ayush ministry.
The SEIAC has also laid down a condition that solar panels have to be installed at the campus so that at least part of the power requirement can be met through RENEWABLE ENERGY sources. The SEIAC has also sought a contour plan of the project site.
The foundation stone for the All India Institute of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy was laid by then Ayush minister Shripad Naik in November 2018.
The first phase will be built at a cost of almost Rs 300 crore and at full capacity it will have 500 seats on offer covering different programmes.
