1,230NGO partners for Srijan
5,000+students placed with NGOs
~2 lakhdays contributed to social projects
300+GS3 student volunteers

Student volunteering

  • Srijan Social Internship. Since June 2021, every first-year student spends six to eight weeks full-time with a social organisation. It has three parts: a 10-hour pre-internship course on social issues such as health, education and poverty, the internship itself, and a post-internship phase in which students share what they learned with peers, seniors, faculty and staff. Partners have included Goonj, CRY, Teach for India, Sewa International, WWF, Greenpeace, Salaam Baalak Trust and NIIT Foundation. Students have served meals with Divya Prem Seva Mission, distributed reusable sanitary products with Human For Humanity, taught digital skills with Optasia Foundation, installed water filters with Urvita, restored wells and ponds under the Jal Jeevan Mission with Bhawana Sewa Sansthan, and planted trees with Green Birds Foundation. In 2025 Srijan 5.0 interns worked with Rise Foundation on afforestation and waste projects.
  • GS3. Students from the first Srijan cohort founded the Global Society of Social Soldiers. Its Project Naraini ran five river clean-ups in Dehradun, Project Sakhi gave 1,200 sanitary pads and menstrual-health sessions to more than 1,000 girls in 10 government schools, and Project Ayushman taught hygiene and resource conservation to about 1,000 students in eight schools.
  • Legal awareness in village schools. Under Srijan, the School of Law's Legal Aid Clinic and the UPES CSR team ran "Good Touch and Bad Touch" sessions for government-school students in Kharakhet, Misrapatti, Kandoli and Harriawala.
  • DaanUtsav with Goonj. Since 2022, students and staff have collected clothes and essentials for an old age home and a slum community in Dehradun.

Research with NGOs and business

  • SDC Foundation. Joint authorship of the UDAAI Monsoon Report 2025 on Uttarakhand's disasters.
  • HESCO. UPES and HESCO jointly set up HILL, which works on landslide early warning, Bhanjira as a livelihood crop, eco-tourism, women's empowerment and a zero-waste model for the Himalaya.
  • Aspire Impact. The RISE Centre partnership covers SDG mapping, Uttarakhand's Gross Environment Product and the university's own impact and emissions assessment.
  • Heartfulness. In March 2024 the School of Health Sciences and Technology and Heartfulness trainers ran a three-day meditation workshop for about 150 faculty, students and staff, in line with UGC guidance on mental health, and collected pulse, oxygen-saturation and blood-pressure data before and after sessions.
  • HCLTech. An MoU on sustainability and low-carbon solutions for the oil and gas industry, with internships.

6Reporting progress on every SDG

UPES publishes a separate public report on its progress towards each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2025–26. Each report sets out the university's research, operations, policies and community work for that goal, with links to the evidence behind every claim.

  • Separate report for each of the 17 SDGs

The reports are brought together on the UPES and the SDGs page, alongside a map of more than 300 UPES events tagged to the goals they support (events map). UPES also reports its institutional data across all 17 goals to the THE Impact Rankings (see Section 4).

7Education for the SDGs

Every UPES undergraduate learns about sustainability, many choose dedicated degrees, and the university takes SDG learning out to schools, villages and working professionals.

172courses teaching climate, environment, energy, health or society
6,500students a year in the School for Life
20,000+learners reached by the School for Life since 2020
~1,000school students reached by GS3 health and hygiene education

For every student

  • School for Life. Since 2020, undergraduates across all schools take at least 18 credits of life-skills and interdisciplinary courses, including a four-credit Environment, Sustainability and Climate Change course with a Living Lab, and can choose Environment and Sustainability or Ethical Leadership in the 21st Century.
  • Design your own degree. The ABLE academic framework lets students add minors outside their main field, such as Sustainability Engineering, Climate Change or Disaster Management.
  • Learning by doing. The mandatory Srijan Social Internship places every first-year student with an NGO working on the SDGs, after a 10-hour course on India's development challenges, with sessions led by UN representatives and Presidential Award winners.
  • A department for sustainability. The School of Advanced Engineering's Department of Sustainability Engineering leads teaching and research on sustainability, and its Living Lab uses the campus itself as a place to learn (Living Lab Report).
  • Measuring what students learn. Under the Internal Quality Assurance Cell's sustainability framework, structured tools assess students' sustainability literacy and awareness. Srijan builds in its own check: students take the pre-internship course on social issues, then return to campus to present what they learned to peers, seniors, faculty and staff. In the Himalayan Fellowship, 25 student fellows receive one-to-one faculty mentoring through a four-week field immersion on climate change, biodiversity, cultural resilience and social-ecological systems, framed by the SDGs.

Dedicated programmes

  • Undergraduate. B.Tech Sustainability Engineering (linked explicitly to the Paris Agreement and the SDGs), B.Tech Renewable and Sustainable Energy Engineering, BA (Hons) Environmental and Sustainability Studies (with courses such as Novel Data for the SDGs and Climate Finance and Green Transitions), BA/BBA LL.B. (Hons) Energy and Environmental Law, and B.Sc. programmes in Food, Nutrition and Dietetics.
  • Specialisations. Environmental Engineering within B.Tech Civil Engineering, and an ESG and Sustainability specialisation in B.Tech Fire and Safety Engineering.
  • Postgraduate. M.Tech Sustainability Engineering (with an optional PhD pathway), M.Tech Health, Safety and Environment, M.Tech Renewable Energy, MBA Power Management (Green Energy and Transition to Sustainability), LL.M. Environmental and Energy Law, M.Sc. Nutrition and Dietetics, and M.Sc. Petroleum Geoscience with Environmental Geochemistry.
  • Field and fellowship. The four-week Himalayan Fellowship gives 25 selected undergraduates ₹30,000 each for fieldwork and research on sustainability in Himalayan communities.

For schools and the wider community

  • Local schools. The "Become a Community Problem Solver" programme for 155 students at Government Inter College, Paundha (August 2026); LearnShala centres and maths and science camps in government primary schools; support for about 12 government schools and more than 700 pupils with Samagra Shiksha Uttarakhand, including a maths and science fair; an equality awareness drive in 16 government schools; and more than 100 school students presenting at Energy Summit 2025.
  • Teachers. Project Dronasthali trained more than 30 primary teachers from 15 Dehradun schools in digital teaching, and Project Utkarsh supports 14 local schools with academic help and career counselling.
  • Families of migrant workers. Project Samvedna gives day care and education to the children of migrant construction workers on UPES campuses.
  • Communities. DigitalDhaam teaches computer and internet skills in nearby villages; Project Lakhon Khawahishen paired reusable menstrual cups with 90 days of training and follow-up for about 1,200 women; and Project Vikalp trains rural women in recycling, craft design and medicinal plant farming.
  • Staff. About 60 support staff have been trained through the Skill Development Programme and 22 through Project Grow, and Project Swavalamban teaches Class IV women employees English, digital skills and their legal rights.
  • Professionals and the public. The ESG, Sustainability and Impact Specialist Programme, public launches such as the UDAAI Monsoon Report, the Living Lab Summit on Earth Day, Himalaya Calling and the Sustainability Fair share SDG knowledge beyond the campus.
