PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS

DSC_0051

A salient statement in the Vision and Mission of MRIIRS has been to train its students in the backdrop of Indian ethos and values to enable their transformation into insightful, honorable, and responsible citizens of India, who work and dedicate themselves for the advancement of humanity. Since its inception, MRIIRS has rendered extension services to the people of Faridabad District and adjoining areas, which has brought about seminal changes on many fronts. With a great emphasis on the values of humility and gratitude, the students and faculty members have taken up the cudgels for societal upliftment of the general population of Faridabad district and contiguous areas through its ISR initiatives. The ISR arm of MRIIRS, Dr O P Bhalla Foundation, operates with the objectives to carry forward philanthropic and development activities in various fields like education, sustainable development, environment protection, women empowerment and gender equality, health and wellbeing, geriatric health care, empowering weaker sections of society and reviving our rich cultural heritage. Serving the nation through efforts in inclusive growth, societal development, and diversity conservation, the students, and staff of MRIIRS have endeavored with great alacrity and commitment.

University has created partnerships with the state and national government, regional non-government organizations with the aim of addressing the objectives of SDG Challenges and Policy Making, and its grass root monitoring evaluation and reporting through local level interventions for enabling adaptive management practices pertaining to SDGs.  University is working on water security management, water governance, conservation and other associated SDGs related Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG6).

The University prepares an Overall Report covering all SDGs. In order to do that, an indicator matrix is created as a part of SDG measurement policy of MRIIRS. The University has created a detailed ranking score belonging to the normative scale of – a) High (4), b) Medium (3), c) Average (2) and d) Below Average (1). Every year, a detailed score is assigned to the SDG 1 indicator along these above norms. Then the progress of the score is regularly monitored. Further, the interconnection of individual to other SDG 16 indicators are also mapped and ranked with a score indicating – High, Medium, Average and Below Average. The individual progress matrix of each SDG along with the interconnected matrix is published and disseminated regularly through the website/EMS.
