About Us

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.
