ATAL Sponsored 3 days FDP on "Uniting for the Planet: Strategies to Sustainable Energy and Climate Resilience"

AICTE – Training & Learning (ATAL) Academy Sponsored Three days Faculty Development Program On "Uniting for the Planet: Strategies for Sustainable Energy and Climate Resilience" Organised by Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, M.S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences on 21st – 23rd July. 2025

About the Workshop:

The Faculty Development Program (FDP) on “Energy, Sustainability & Climate Change” is designed to equip educators, researchers, and academic professionals with contemporary insights and practical tools necessary to address some of the most pressing global challenges of our time. As climate change, environmental degradation, and unsustainable energy practices continue to threaten ecosystems and human well-being, it has become imperative for academic institutions to play a central role in educating future generations, developing innovative solutions, and contributing to sustainable development. This two-day FDP aims to build awareness and capacity among faculty members on the interlinked themes of energy efficiency, renewable energy technologies, climate change mitigation, and sustainable development. Participants will gain an understanding of the science of climate change, national and international frameworks.

Topic to be covered: On the climate front, sessions will explore the impacts of climate change on agriculture, water, health, and livelihoods—especially within the Indian subcontinent—and strategies to adapt and build resilience. Faculty members will be introduced to methods for carbon footprint analysis, climate risk assessment, and tools for campus sustainability planning. In doing so, the FDP will inspire academic professionals to lead by example and develop green campus initiatives within their own institutions.
