In a landmark step toward fostering sustainability and responsible leadership, the National Academy of Defence Production (NADP), a premier institution under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the SAMVAW Foundation, which manages the Samvaw Academy of Green Education (SAGE).
This strategic collaboration aims to integrate the principles of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into educational and training frameworks, with a special focus on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. The partnership will facilitate the co-development of training modules, joint workshops, collaborative research, and the creation of e-learning content to promote sustainability literacy across sectors.
The MoU was signed virtually on May 20, 2025, marking the beginning of a shared journey to build a more resilient and environmentally conscious India. On this occasion, NADP unveiled the first creative for SDG 1 (No Poverty) from the book Who Wants Roses, published by SAGE. The creative captivated the audience, setting an inspiring tone for the collaboration.
This MoU reflects a shared commitment to aligning institutional missions with Agenda 2030, and to nurturing a generation of ethical, sustainability-driven leaders for India’s industrial and defence sectors.
