A campus initiative from Avadi

A campus initiative from Avadi

The Hindu
Saturday, September 14, 2024 5:30 PM GMT

The Nazareth Group launched a software tool (www.mapsdg.com) that would help it track the implementation and progress of the other SDG activities in its schools and colleges.

The one last in a line need not be the least in importance. The last goal on the line of 17 sustainable development goals is no slouch. It in fact has the capacity to build enough muscles to carry all the preceding goals on its sturdy shoulders. It however remains an often-neglected goal. Nazareth Group of Institutions recently addressed this error of omission.

By the way, the 17th SDG goal is “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development”, exactly as defined by the United Nations’ department concerned with sustainable development.

The Nazareth Group launched a software tool (www.mapsdg.com) that would help it track the implementation and progress of the other SDG activities in its schools and colleges.

(The Group has five schools and two colleges within a five kilometre radius in Avadi, with Nazareth College of Arts and Science in Kovilpathagai in Avadi as its flagship institution.)

In addition, the Group is offering this tool (MapSDG) as a paid SaaS product to outside entities for them to use in their SDG journey.

Geetha Subbiah, who is part of Nazareth Group’s IT unit, observes that all SDG initiatives by the Group would be centred around its schools and colleges but not restricted to them.

Geetha cites the example of Idhu Namma Avadi (INA), “a community-wide initiative that has managed strong linkages with the Avadi Municipal Corporation. Anne Andrea, who is part of the group, recalls the plogging initiative carried out by the Group in association with the Avadi Corporation in 2019 (when the Corporation had just been established).
