NSQF Level 8. Delivered by IFEM as Industrial Academic Training Partners (IATP) with IUN (International University Nagaland). Built on SEBI BRSR, Companies Act CSR, and the global GRI, SASB and TCFD frameworks.
SEBI's Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) is mandatory for the top 1,000 listed companies in India. Section 135 of the Companies Act makes CSR spending and disclosure a legal obligation, not a choice. The RBI is pushing climate risk disclosure into banking and finance.
Every one of those mandates needs someone who can collect the data, run the materiality assessment, draft the disclosure, and defend it in front of an auditor. Indian corporates are creating ESG roles faster than any pipeline is producing qualified people to fill them.
PGVDESG closes that gap in a year. The programme covers the environmental, social and governance pillars in depth, ESG data collection, GRI, SASB and TCFD reporting, BRSR drafting, ESG ratings and green finance, the full Indian regulatory landscape, and ESG risk assessment. Built for graduates entering the field, and for working CSR, compliance and EHS professionals who qualify for RPL admission.
Every module closes with a live case. A real listed company. A real disclosure requirement. A real compliance gap. Students run the audit steps: data collection, materiality assessment, non-conformance documentation, disclosure drafting, assurance review. The same live-case audit method IFE has refined across two decades of compliance consultancy practice.
By the end of the year, a PGVDESG graduate has drafted more disclosure and audit documents than most sustainability officers touch in their first three years on the job.
