A video shared by a student of the prestigious Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has drawn widespread admiration online, showcasing the institute’s lush green campus and carefully cultivated urban forest.
The clip, posted on Instagram by student Divyansh Tiwari, captures a panoramic view from the seventh floor of the recently constructed IDR building, offering a unique perspective of the sprawling greenery that covers much of the campus.
A campus that looks like a forest
Introducing the video, Tiwari describes the IDR building as one of the newest and most beautiful structures within the institute. As the camera pans across the dense canopy, he points out that what appears to be a natural forest is actually a carefully planned urban forest developed by the institute.
With Bengaluru’s skyline visible in the distance, the vast expanse of trees creates a striking contrast between urban development and environmental conservation.
Tiwari also highlighted the diversity of vegetation visible from the building, noting the vibrant shades of green, orange, pink and purple spread across the landscape.
A fresh perspective on a familiar landmark
The student explained that the view offers a different perspective of the same forest visible from the institute’s iconic main building. According to him, the serene surroundings provide a welcome escape after long hours spent in laboratories and academic work.
He encouraged visitors and students to experience the view from the seventh floor, describing it as one of the most rewarding sights on campus.
Social media users impressed
The video quickly gained attention online, with many viewers praising the institute’s commitment to greenery and thoughtful campus planning.
Several users described the campus as resembling a forest retreat rather than an academic institution, while others called it one of the most beautiful educational campuses in the country.
The viral clip has once again highlighted IISc’s reputation not only for academic excellence but also for maintaining one of India’s most environmentally rich and aesthetically appealing campuses.
