About CEHS


The Centre for Environment Health and Safety (CEHS) which has been set up under the aegis of Institute of Good Manufacturing Practices India (IGMPI) is registered as a non-profit society recognised by the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, accredited Vocational Institution of Ministry of HRD, Government of India. IGMPI is dedicated to promote working in a healthy and safe environment. The rapid expansion of infrastructure development and industrial establishments has heightened the focus on ensuring safety measures essential for public health. IGMPI is moving hand in hand with technology advances and has gained recognition as stronger and better training & online learning platform provider in the areas of Pharma GMP, Regulatory Affairs, Food Science, Health, Safety & Environment and many more. Today, India has had legislations on occupational safety and health for 50 years. But the number of regulatory personnel is limited to 1,400 safety officers, 1,154 factory inspectors, and 27 medical inspectors. These numbers are grossly inadequate even for the inspection of formal units that only employ about 10% of India's total workforce (around 26 million). This proves that there is a huge demand of industrial safety experts.

India is a fast-growing economy. It influences the global market as well. The CEHS team at IGMPI has come with programmes specially designed for industry professionals, graduates, and safety engineers to enhance their knowledge and get trained to have a great career in this upcoming and thriving field. Additionally, the Centre for Environment Health and Safety, IGMPI endeavours to enhance the skills of the available work force.

Post Graduate Diploma/Executive Diploma/Industry Certificate in Climate Change

Climate change is the most defining driver of development changes in society today. To be more precise, it is a strong reminder how unprepared we are as a civilization to develop preventive measures and to mitigate the aftermath of a climate related disaster. To this end, IGMPI is training professionals with a graduate degree to become leaders in the field of climate change. Be it the wildfires in California or floods in Himachal Pradesh, climate change is impacting the day-to-day happenings for every section of society.

The solutions to climate change from the innovation sector are four-fold –

  • Reducing the demands of energy in buildings, transportation and industry through reduced use of fossil fuels.
  • Increasing the efficiency of the technology to meet ‘end use’ energy demands, resulting in lower CO2 emissions.
  • Replace high-carbon fossil fuels such as coal and oil with natural gas, nuclear and renewable energy such as biomass, wind and solar.
  • Capture and sequester the CO2 emitted by the combustion of fossil fuels to prevent its release to the atmosphere.

The startup sector is currently booming with cleantech innovations that possess tremendous disruptive potential. The unfortunate result is that there does not exist the skilled personal to transition early to late TRLs of these deeptech institutions to early BRLs. To fill this widening gap – this is the agenda of this post graduate/ executive diploma in climate change. The classes at IGMPI are a mix of lectures, interactive case studies and group discussions.
