Centre for Sustainability and Happiness
Sustainability – environmental, mental or otherwise – often comes as an afterthought in public planning or project planning, whereas it should cut across and permeate all policies and projects. Also looking into the country's present environment and unique setting, there is a strong need to look for and promote Sustainable Innovations in India rather than transplant solutions from elsewhere. There is an urgent need for building a sustainability conscious society through responsible lifestyle and consumption. Along with focusing on Sustainability, we need to align most important commodity i.e Happiness with Sustainability. Sustainable Happiness - happiness that contributes to individual, community or global well-being and does not exploit other people, the environment, or future generations is actually the need of the hour. Happiness being the building block of Nation's achievement, innovation and upliftment holds a key weightage if we are to move towards becoming a prosperous nation. Businesses of tomorrow are the amalgamation of Sustainability and Happiness.
With the above context, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur is proud to launch Center for Sustainability and Happiness to provide local and global solutions through cutting edge interdisciplinary research focusing on the dual aspects of Sustainability and Happiness. This Center intends to develop a network of leading experts and researchers on Happiness and Wellbeing, a full credit curriculum course and host Sustainable Happiness (SH) Certificate programs and continue to develop strategies to integrate this concept into the curriculum.
