CENTRE FOR SUSTAINIABILITY AND ENERGY TRANSITION (C-SET)

The Centre will house curated sustainable technologies across various sectors with proven record and potential to be implemented through Small and Medium Business set-up by individuals with little capital requirement.

The Centre will be state of the art for applied learning for students and for research and application development opportunities for faculty.

The Centre was inaugurated by Professor V Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras on 16th June 2022. Senior officials from Indian and international firms in agricultural commerce, logistics and financial services, like Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Apollo Supply Chain, Samunnati and Carbon Impact Capital among others, also attended the inauguration.

Key Objectives of C-SET:

Skill Upgradation: Creation and dissemination of technical skill upgradation curriculum around select technologies geared towards improving industry or self-employability.

Micro-entrepreneurship: Creation of micro-entrepreneurship templates promote setting up of small business units. This would include tie-ups with banks and investors for unlocking capital, building market linkages, and matching relevant business mentors for the students.

Industry knowledge Sharing: Guest lectures and industry visits.
