About the Centre

The Centre for Human Values, Ethics and Holistic Living at our college aims to initiate programs that inspire and empower students and staff to embrace universal human values and apply them in both their personal and professional lives.

Interscience Institute of Management & Technology (IIMT) recognizes the urgent need to nurture socially responsible, self-aware, and harmonious individuals through holistic value-based education. This aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the Universal Human Values (UHV) framework recommended by AICTE. The Centre for Human Values, Ethics and Holistic Living is established to coordinate this transformative agenda at all levels of our college ecosystem.

Vision

The Centre for Human Values, Ethics and Holistic Living at IIMT envision to evolve the college from value education to value-based education and value-based living. Its long-term vision is to develop IIMT as a Model Institute, a national nodal centre, and a global resource hub for value education. The Centre aims to create a supportive and transformative learning environment through self-exploration, where students develop academic excellence alongside a deep sense of social responsibility. By building a campus culture rooted in Satya (realization of truth), Karuna (compassion) and Prema (love for all), the center aspires to contribute to holistic societal transformation and uphold universal human values in all aspects of life.

Mission

The Centre for Human Values, Ethics and Holistic Living is to integrate value education seamlessly into the core fabric of the Academic, curriculum and administrative activities by 2030. The Centre strives to create an environment of meaningful relationships through personal transformation among students, faculty, and staff, with the aim of promoting holistic development and a shared commitment to universal values by 2030.

Motto

The IIMT- Centre for Human Values, Ethics and Holistic Living, acts as a bridge between individual character-building and societal harmony. The Centre is committed to promote Human Values, Ethics and Holistic Living, not just within the institute but extending it to the broader community.

Individual

Individual is about nurturing a journey of inner growth. It aims to cultivate a profound awareness of one's purpose enabling individuals to articulate their deepest aspirations. Through self-directed learning and a focus on self-awareness the ultimate goal is to build genuine self-confidence which allows one to live in alignment with their core values and contribute meaningfully to the world.

Family helps in cultivating Right Feeling through the practice of empathy, compassion, trust and mutual respect. By nurturing these values individuals are empowered to strengthen bonds within their inner circle and college communities. It acts as a tool for effective conflict resolution, transforming interpersonal friction into opportunities for deeper understanding and harmony.

Society

Society is the natural expansion of the harmony cultivated within the Individual and the Family. The core traits such as Humility, Integrity and Adaptability help to cultivate responsible citizens who are naturally inclined toward positive contributions. It transforms the social fabric replacing Fear (Bhay) with Fearlessness (Abhay) with a culture of mutual trust and collective growth.
