Sustainable Development Centre
About the Centre
Established in July 2020, the Sustainable Development Centre (SDC) of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Evening College was born during a global pandemic, highlighting the fragile balance between humanity and nature. It was envisioned as a dynamic hub to translate the global vision of sustainability into local, actionable change.
The centre was established with the support of former Principal Dr. S. K. Sinha and guidance of Dr. Anupama Hasija. It continues to thrive under the leadership of Principal Prof. Arun K. Attree and dedicated student and faculty members.
Inspired by Shaheed Bhagat Singh’s revolutionary spirit, the SDC works towards environmental sustainability through three pillars: Education, Action, and Community.
