The objective of the Sairam SDG Immersion Program 2025 was to introduce first-year engineering students to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through experiential learning, localization, and field exposure. The program aimed to bridge academic learning with real-world societal challenges while promoting innovation, empathy, leadership, and service to humanity.
The Sairam SDG Immersion Program 2025 is a large-scale experiential learning initiative designed for first-year engineering students. Conducted from 06 November 2025 to 30 January 2026, the program spanned 22 days with a total engagement of 360 hours.
Organized under the Sairam Innovation Ecosystem, the initiative focused on the localization of Sustainable Development Goals through structured training sessions and hands-on field exposure in three model villages.
The program featured expert-led training sessions delivered by 11 experienced resource persons specializing in rural development, governance, infrastructure, health, water management, social justice, and women empowerment.
- Poverty-Free & Enhanced Livelihoods
- Healthy Villages
- Child-Friendly Village Panchayats
- Water-Sufficient Villages
- Clean & Green Villages
- Self-Sufficient Infrastructure
- Socially Just & Secure Villages
- Good Governance
- Women-Friendly Villages
Students participated in field exposure visits to selected model villages, enabling them to observe, analyze, and understand real-world sustainable development practices. These hands-on experiences strengthened experiential learning and encouraged engineering-based solutions aligned with SDGs.
The SDG Immersion Program 2025 enhanced students’ awareness of sustainability and grassroots development. Participants developed innovation, critical thinking, teamwork, and empathy while proposing solutions aligned with Sustainable Development Goals.
Students appreciated the expert interactions, real-world exposure, and the balance between indoor learning and field visits, which increased their motivation toward sustainable innovation.
The program sessions were conducted by 11 expert resource persons, including State Resource Persons, senior administrators, and sustainability domain specialists.
The Sairam SDG Immersion Program 2025 stands as a landmark initiative in experiential engineering education. The program successfully connected academic learning with societal needs and reflects IEEE HKN’s commitment to leadership, ethics, sustainability, and social responsibility.
