About STUDENTS FOR DEVELOPMENT

Students for development is a forum to promote the need for sustainable development in its appropriate vision. In this forum while strongly arguing the case of sustainability, it does not limit itself to the environmental issues like water conservation and management, plastic recycling and forest conservation. It rather focus on the ways of engaging with these issues in a way which can integrate various socio, cultural, political dimensions gets integrated in the holistic fashion. It is the conviction of SFD that without an integrated view the idea of development can be skewed and can be at times hindrance growth of human potential. SFD was initiated to understand, promote and disseminate the right concept of DEVELOPMENT to all the people in general and students in specific.
