About SACRED Foundation
The SACRED (Sustainable Action for Climate Resilient Enviro-social Development) Foundation is a distinguished non-profit organization under Section-8 of the Companies Act, 2013 and is dedicated to advancing climate-resilient socio-environmental development in Odisha. SACRED Foundation addresses critical environmental challenges through practical and sustainable solutions that promote environmental stewardship and support social advancement. SACRED Foundation is committed to fostering climate-resilient communities by aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). We integrate education with hands-on experience to prepare future leaders in sustainability.
In collaboration with the Trident Group of Institutions and various other educational institutions and industries, SACRED Foundation leads initiatives focused on renewable energy, carbon nutrality-inturn net zero, waste management, water conservation, various other social issues and capacity building. Our initial projects include converting food waste into nutrient-rich compost, utilizing UV and MBBR Technology to reuse waste water, and using solar panels as alternate renewable source of energy. These initiatives will not only benefit the environment, but also establish a high standard for responsible environmental action in Odisha, serving as a model for sustainability best practices.
Our approach integrates practical applications by involving experienced professionals from both industries and academia in sustainability projects. We bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical skills, equipping future leaders to address the complex environmental and social challenges of tomorrow by actively engaging diverse stakeholders in these impactful initiatives. SACRED Foundation is committed to upholding the values of environmental responsibility, social progress, and climate resilience, with the goal of positioning Odisha as a leader in sustainable development, where the well-being of both people and the planet is prioritized. Many of these initiatives are being expanded to other institutions and industries, fostering a broader collaborative effort for a sustainable future across the region.
