JAGSoM’s Mission

“Nurture Holistic, SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE and Continuously Employable Professionals”
Social immersion bridges theory with reality as it transforms management
education from classroom concepts into lived experiences. By engaging with
communities, students develop empathy, cultural intelligence, and a deep
understanding of social challenges. It nurtures responsible leaders who create
impact beyond profit. Immersion fosters collaboration, adaptability, and innovation
through real–world problem–solving. It redefines success as value creation for both
business and society. Ultimately, it shapes managers into changemakers who lead
with purpose.
 

Bridging Classrooms and Communities: Social Immersion through the Lensof the UN SDGs

Social Immersion Program (SIP), a unique initiative of JAGSoM, sensitizes students to the needs of the community and enables them to identify their social problems through research. Students learn to design solutions for social problems through a Techno Economic Viability (TEV) study, thereby enabling sustainable socially positive, and measurable impact. A techno-economic viability study is a comprehensive analysis that evaluates the technical feasibility and economic profitability of a proposed project. JAGSoM has tied up with many NGOs over the years to facilitate the immersion component of the program. A Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) is signed with the partner NGOs. Adopted at the UN Sustainable Development Summit in New York in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of Global Goals for an urgent call to action for the Global community to tackle issues like poverty, hunger, inequality etc while navigating through climate change.

JAGSoM primarily focusses on SDG 1
– No Poverty, SDG 4 – Quality Education, and SDG 5 – Gender Equality.
