ABOUT VIVEKANANDA INSTITUTE OF PROFESSIONAL STUDIES

Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies (VIPS-TC)-Technical Campus was founded in the year 2000, and is affiliated to Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University.

VIPS-TC is a NAAC Accredited Grade ‘A ++’ institution along with NBA Accreditation for MCA Program. VIPS-TC is recognized by Bar Council of India (BCI) for all Law Programs and approved by All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) for MCA. Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies - Technical Campus is operating with 7 schools, more than 7000 students, and 300+ faculty members. Teaching – learning pedagogy adopted at VIPS-TC involves greater student engagement and involvement through problem and project based learning instead of routine classroom and lecture based methods.

The evidence of the efforts towards progressive learning tools is manifested in the Gold Medals bagged by our students in GGSIPU exams every year. The institute also runs a PGDM programme under Delhi School of Business (DSB). Delhi School of Business comes from a lineage of educational excellence of Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies (VIPS). Established in 2012 after 12 long years of integrated research on business management & administration, DSB is fiercely focused yet young at heart.

The Sustainable Development Goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. The 17 Goals were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which set out a 15-year plan to achieve the Goals. Today, progress is being made in many places, but, overall, action to meet the Goals is not yet advancing at the speed or scale required.

Goal 12 is about ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns, which is key to sustain the livelihoods of current and future generations. Unsustainable patterns of consumption and production are root causes of the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. These crises, and related environmental degradation, threaten human well-being and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. 13.3% of the world’s food is lost after harvesting and before reaching retail markets. 17% of the total food is wasted at the consumer level. Our reliance on natural resources is increasing, rising over 65% globally from 2000 to 2019. Vast majority of world’s electronic waste is not being safely managed. Governments and all citizens should work together to improve resource efficiency, reduce waste and pollution, and shape a new circular economy.

Quality education is the foundation of sustainable development, and therefore of the Sustainable Development Goals. As a policy intervention, education is a force multiplier that enables self-reliance, boosts economic growth by enhancing skills, and improves people’s lives by opening up opportunities for better livelihoods. SDG 4 is about quality education and focuses on "Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all".

SDG 4 has ten targets which are measured by 11 indicators. The seven "outcome-oriented targets" are free primary and secondary education; equal access to quality pre-primary education; affordable technical, vocational, and higher education; increased number of people with relevant skills for financial success; elimination of all discrimination in education; universal literacy and numeracy; and education for sustainable development and global citizenship. The three "means of achieving targets" are: to build and upgrade inclusive and safe schools; expand higher education scholarships for developing countries; and increase the supply of qualified teachers in developing countries.
