Prakriti Club | Techno-Environment Club

Prakriti Club 2nd Oldest Club IITG

Techno-Environment Club · IIT Guwahati

Prakriti Club bridges technology and environment. We undertake cutting-edge technical projects — from Aquaponics to AI-driven biodiversity — alongside socio-environmental initiatives like mega plantation drives, bird watching, and waste management awareness. Join us to create a sustainable tomorrow.

ABOUT US

Prakriti Club comes under the Technical Board of Student Gymkhana, IIT Guwahati. As the 2nd oldest club of the institute, we transcend traditional boundaries between technology and environment. Our mission: to deliver impactful solutions to environmental challenges via innovative, tech-driven projects and grassroots socio-environmental awareness.

From Aquaponics featured in The Times of India to Dual Axis Solar Tracker, Tree Leaf Data Bank using ML, and Smart Surveillance Plantation Bot — we blend engineering with ecology. Our socio wing organizes plantation drives, PETA movie screenings, birdwatching sessions, and campus cleanup drives. We also organize Avinya Hackathon in collaboration with Techniche, IIT Guwahati, fostering innovation for sustainability.
