Prospectus

The Centre for Environmental Health and Safety (CEHS) which has been set up under the aegis of IGMPI - an autonomous Institute recognised by Ministry of Commerce & Industry, accredited Vocational Institution of Ministry of Education, Government of India and licensed and certified by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under Bureau of Indian Standards (Conformity Assessment) Regulations 2018. ), is focused on advancing professional education, skill development and awareness in the interconnected fields of environment, occupational health, safety and sustainability. The Centre aims to support individuals and organisations in understanding and responding to the environmental and workplace challenges emerging from rapid industrialisation, urbanisation, technological development and climate change.

Today, environmental protection and workplace safety are no longer viewed as separate organisational responsibilities. Businesses and institutions are increasingly expected to create safe and healthy workplaces, manage environmental impacts, use resources responsibly, comply with applicable requirements and integrate sustainability into decision-making. CEHS seeks to contribute to this transition by developing professionals who can understand these interconnected challenges and apply their knowledge in practical settings.

Through its academic and professional programmes, CEHS provides opportunities for graduates, working professionals, environmental practitioners, safety professionals, engineers, managers and individuals seeking to develop specialised competencies. The Centre's programmes are designed to support both career development and continuous professional learning in areas that are increasingly important across industries and sectors.

CEHS offers programmes covering a broad range of contemporary subjects, including Environmental Health and Safety, Industrial Safety Management, Environmental Management, Environmental Impact Assessment, Environmental Law and Policy, ESG, Climate Change, Sustainable Development, Waste Management, Renewable Energy, Life Cycle Assessment, Circular Economy, Carbon Management, Behaviour-Based Safety and AI and Data for Environmental Sustainability. This multidisciplinary approach reflects the changing nature of environmental and safety responsibilities in modern organisations.

A key focus of CEHS is to make professional learning practical, relevant and connected to real-world situations. Learning is supported through contemporary examples, case studies, industry practices, regulatory developments, applied concepts and discussions around emerging environmental and occupational challenges. The objective is not simply to provide information, but to help learners develop the ability to analyse problems, assess risks, understand regulatory and organisational requirements and identify practical solutions.

The Centre also recognises the importance of developing a strong culture of prevention. Effective environmental and safety management begins with awareness but requires much more than compliance alone. It involves responsible leadership, informed decision-making, risk identification, employee participation, resource efficiency and a commitment to continual improvement. CEHS promotes these principles through its professional learning initiatives and encourages learners to look at environmental and safety challenges from both technical and organisational perspectives.

As sustainability continues to influence business strategies and public policy, professionals are increasingly required to understand areas such as climate resilience, ESG, resource efficiency, circular economy, environmental governance, sustainable production and responsible risk management. CEHS seeks to keep its learning portfolio responsive to these changing requirements and emerging areas of professional practice.

The Centre also places importance on continuous learning and professional upskilling. Environmental regulations, technologies, standards, workplace practices and sustainability expectations continue to evolve. CEHS therefore aims to provide learners with opportunities to update their knowledge, strengthen their professional capabilities and remain prepared for changing responsibilities within their respective fields.

CEHS brings together the perspectives of environmental management, occupational health and safety, sustainability, regulatory awareness and professional development. This integrated approach reflects the understanding that healthy people, safe workplaces, responsible organisations and a healthy environment are closely connected.

Our Commitment

At CEHS, our commitment is to promote knowledge that can be applied, skills that can create impact and learning that remains relevant to changing professional needs. We strive to support the development of capable professionals who can contribute to safer workplaces, better environmental management, responsible organisational practices and sustainable development.

We believe that meaningful progress is achieved when economic development goes hand in hand with environmental responsibility, human well-being and safety. Through education, professional training and continuous skill development, CEHS aims to contribute to a workforce that is better prepared to address today's challenges and shape a safer, healthier and more sustainable future.

The Post Graduate Diploma / Executive Diploma in Water Resource Technology and Management is designed to equip professionals with the technical expertise and strategic knowledge needed to address global water challenges. As water scarcity, pollution, and climate change impact communities worldwide, sustainable water management has become a critical priority. This program offers an in-depth understanding of water resource distribution, conservation strategies, treatment technologies, and governance frameworks. With a strong focus on practical applications and policy integration, students will gain the skills to develop innovative solutions for water security, sustainable usage, and efficient management in urban, industrial, and agricultural settings.

The curriculum begins with an overview of water resources and hydrology, exploring global water distribution, surface and groundwater management, and consumption patterns. It then covers climate change and water sustainability, emphasizing integrated water resource management (IWRM), conservation strategies, and climate adaptation techniques. Modules on water quality and treatment technologies delve into pollution sources, emerging contaminants, and physical, chemical, and biological treatment processes, ensuring participants understand advanced purification and remediation methods. The program also addresses groundwater management and recharge techniques, highlighting both natural and artificial recharge methods to enhance water availability.

Further, students will explore water conservation, reuse, and resource management techniques, including rainwater harvesting, efficient irrigation, and industrial water reuse. The course also examines hydro-meteorological hazards, such as floods and tropical cyclones, and their impact on water systems. A crucial component is water-related policies and legislation, where participants will
analyze national and international frameworks, including groundwater regulations and environmental protection laws. The program concludes with real-world case studies and practical applications, providing hands-on experience with cutting-edge water management solutions. Ideal for engineers, environmental professionals, policymakers, and researchers, this diploma prepares graduates to lead sustainable water management initiatives and contribute to global water security.
