School of Management is committed to Sustainable Development Goals focusing on No Poverty, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Reduced Inequalities, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Climate Action and Partnership for Goals. It has done this by assigning students to adopted villages in the vicinity of the campus and striving for their holistic development. It further collaborates with civil society organisations in the delivery of practice based teaching and learning and in field based internships. SOM has, with the support of the National Skill Development Corporation, trained over 70,000 farmers in various skills so as to double their incomes. It has also partnered with FICCI-FLO (the women’s chapter of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry) to promote women’s entrepreneurial activities. The social outreach enterprise of the University, the Urban Micro Business Center, operates as an action learning lab wherein students have started a creche for slum children and an after school digital learning center for high school children from the slum. The Center for Commercialisation of Innovations and Enterprises is steered by the School. Further, the school proactively promotes the inclusion of students from various socio-economic categories and ability in the various programs and enterprises of the University. The School carries out several awareness campaigns on various development issues such as climate change, water and sanitation, waste management and alternate energy use.
