The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a global blueprint for peace, prosperity, and the protection of our planet. At Madhav University, we fully embrace this vision and are committed to driving positive change through inclusive education, social responsibility, and sustainable innovation.
Through the Madhav Centre for Sustainability Development (MCSD), we strive to implement these global goals at the grassroots level. Situated in the tribal heartland of Rajasthan, our mission goes beyond academic excellence—we aim to empower communities, promote good health and well-being, ensure quality education for all, and foster environmental sustainability. These goals are not just ideals; they are actions we integrate into every facet of university life.
Together, as educators, students, and changemakers, we stand united with the global community in building a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable future for everyone, everywhere.
Madhav University, established under Act No. 7 of 2014 by the Government of Rajasthan and recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC), is committed to providing inclusive, quality, and value-based education. Situated in the scenic region of Sirohi, the university offers a wide range of academic programs across disciplines including Homoeopathy, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Agriculture, Allied Health Sciences, Education, Yoga and Naturopathy, Law, Engineering & Technology, Art, Science, Commerce, and Management.
Built on a foundation of academic excellence and social responsibility, Madhav University nurtures not only intellectual growth but also ethical and community-oriented development. The university emphasizes practical learning, skill enhancement, and career readiness particularly in service of tribal and rural populations.
In alignment with its commitment to sustainability and social impact, Madhav University has established the Madhav Center for Sustainability Development (MCSD). Through this center, the university engages students, faculty, and the local community in addressing key global challenges inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). MCSD focuses on nine SDG goals at a time, promoting activities that encourage awareness, action, and advocacy around issues such as poverty, hunger, education, health, gender equality, innovation, climate action, and more.
Through MCSD, Madhav University reaffirms its dedication to empowering students as thoughtful, responsible, and impactful citizens ready to build a more equitable and sustainable future.
At Madhav University, located in the tribal heartland of Sirohi, Rajasthan, we believe that true education goes beyond classrooms—it must uplift communities and contribute to sustainable development. Guided by the core principles of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and rooted in the values of People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership, we have established the Madhav Centre for Sustainability Development (MCSD) as a dedicated platform for driving transformative change.
MCSD focuses on nine key SDGs that align closely with the university’s mission: No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-being, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, Reduced Inequalities, Climate Action, and Life on Land.
In our tribal and rural setting, Madhav University has made equity and accessibility central to its vision. We actively support Quality Education through scholarships and fee waivers for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, ensuring that financial limitations do not obstruct academic opportunity. For children with special needs enrolled in our Special Education School, we provide free education and transportation—recognizing the importance of inclusive infrastructure and support systems.
To address Good Health and Well-being, the university regularly conducts free health camps and awareness programs, focusing on preventive care, hygiene, mental health, and community wellness. These are complemented by rallies and community outreach efforts that advocate for better health and social inclusion.
Tackling Zero Hunger, we provide free meals once a week to support students who may face food insecurity, reinforcing our belief that no one should go hungry in the pursuit of learning. Our efforts also extend to raising awareness about nutrition and sustainable agriculture, especially relevant in our agrarian and tribal surroundings.
In our commitment to grassroots engagement, Madhav University has adopted six villages—Wada, Bharja, Bhujela, Kasindra, Amthala, and Achpura, where we conduct regular health camps, educational activities, and development programs to uplift and empower rural populations through sustained, community-driven initiatives.
Our environmental initiatives are rooted in action-oriented learning. Through tree plantation drives, eco-awareness programs, and campus sustainability efforts, we actively promote Climate Action and care for Life on Land. The campus itself is being developed with environmental consciousness, incorporating green practices that reflect our commitment to sustainability.
With the launch of MCSD, Madhav University has formally taken up the responsibility to integrate these nine SDGs into all aspects of university life. By doing so, we empower students to become not just learners, but leaders—ready to address real-world challenges with knowledge, empathy, and purpose.
At Madhav University, sustainability is not just an ideal, it is a continuous commitment to build a just, inclusive, and empowered future, especially for the marginalized and underserved communities we proudly serve.
To become a transformative hub for sustainable development through inclusive education, innovative research, and community-centered solutions, contributing meaningfully to the realization of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at local, national, and global levels.
The mission of the Madhav Center for Sustainability Development is to promote awareness, education, and action towards sustainable development through inclusive learning, research, and community engagement. The center aims to equip students, faculty, and communities with the knowledge and skills needed to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By encouraging innovation, ethical values, and collaboration, the center strives to contribute to a healthier, more equitable, and environmentally responsible future for all.
This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognise that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will implement this plan. We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet. We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets which we are announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda. They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what these did not achieve. They seek to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental.
