Social Impact
Over the years, 700+ NIRMAN alumni have worked full time on various social challenges together contributing 2600+ person-years so far. The case studies of impact created by them span a variety of domains, approaches, geographies and sectors. They exhibit the NIRMAN motto of 'go where the problems are' and demonstrate the spirit of 'professional excellence plus social contribution' going hand in hand.
