Introduction, Vision and Objectives

Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) is one of the key pillars of the Presidency University that aims to nurture students into socially responsible human beings, imparting the values of empathy, integrity, respect, and gratitude. The key purpose of ISR is to make the students the flag bearers of social change required in the country, to bring about sustainable and inclusive growth and development, and to nurture “Social Change Champions.”

Since its inception, the university has undertaken several social initiatives for the benefit of the underprivileged, women, and children. As a part of this, the University has collaborated with the state government and renowned institutions and organizations. The active participation of the faculty, staff, and students at the university has seen immense success in these social drives, which have effectively brought about improvements in the lives of marginalized social segments.

The Presidency University’s ISR Cell has created a Hub of Enablement. Through this hub, the ISR Cell collaborates with various schools and departments of the University to utilize their domain expertise to implement the activities and enhance the desired impact of its outreach activities.
