Overview

In the context of evolving quality benchmarks in higher education, national and international ranking and accreditation frameworks increasingly emphasize demonstrable integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into curriculum design, research priorities, publications, and institutional values. Frameworks such as NAAC, NIRF, NBA, and global ranking systems  require institutions to move beyond intent and documentation towards evidence-based, outcome-oriented implementation of sustainability practices.

In this backdrop, the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), in collaboration with the SDG Cell, is organizing a focused sensitization workshop for Non- teaching Staff as per the given schedule:
