Jagruthi Sustainability Awareness Program
“Jagruthi,” an initiative by the Center for Sustainability and Executive Education at Cambridge Institute of Technology (CIT), is a monthly sustainability-focused program designed to promote awareness, inspire action, and foster community engagement. This program is aligned with the United Nations’ sustainability calendar days, addressing critical global issues through a variety of events and activities.
