UPES took part in the eighth annual Multi-Stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals along with Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and Wildlife Institute of India on Wednesday. The university has also been an implementer of the CRRC programme of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) India.
Speaking on the occasion, the secretary Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India Srivari Chandrasekhar said, “Science, Technology, and Innovation play a critical role in building such community resilience. Diverse fields of science generate new knowledge that improves understanding of the processes for bringing community resilience. New market-ready technologies create innovative opportunities for increasing economic, social, and environmental resilience, and innovation can bring together non-traditional actors to unite their efforts and pool their resources towards community resilience.”
Professor and cluster head, department of systemics, School of Computer Science, Neelu Jyothi Ahuja represented UPES as the knowledge partner and implementer of the programme.
