Geographic Setting: Snapshot

IIT Jodhpur students and administration have unique understanding of their relationship with the environment they live in. Here on the eastern edge of the Thar Desert, they know intimately the importance of co-existing communities and their adaptations while living with resilience to extreme heat, water management, soils and the flora and fauna.
