IIT Kanpur :- The Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-K) and the Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited today announced the launch of Kotak School of Sustainability – India’s first fully integrated school of sustainability at IIT Kanpur.

This initiative has been taken with the thought that global warming poses a serious threat to our existence, manifesting in untimely natural calamities, pollution, and biodiversity loss. “Research indicates irreversible ‘Tipping Points’ with rapid, harmful climatic changes. Realising this is an imminent existential crisis and that anthropogenic activities need to be environmentally sustainable; world leaders have been discussing in COP (Conference of Parties) meetings to come up with policies and actions that can lead to a sustainable future. The United Nations (UN’s) seventeen sustainable development goals address this challenge, crucial in densely populated countries like India. Urgent climate actions are needed to mitigate, adapt, and build resilience,” the official notice stated.
