/ -- Chitkara University today announced the launch of its new two year MBA program in Waste Management & Social Entrepreneurship in association with Mahatma Gandhi National Council of Rural Education (MGNCRE). The MBA Programme focusing on Waste Management and Social Entrepreneurship will empower today's youth to leave an indelible mark on the sands of time.

Environmental concerns on management of surroundings and solid waste management have been a neglected area so far, as far as the collective responsibility of society towards this issue is concerned. However, its importance cannot be negated, nor overlooked any further. It is a potentially lucrative case for business. Hence a specialized understanding of the subject will be essential and would pave the way for scientific handling of surroundings, and adopting safe and secure methods of disposal of inevitable domestic and industrial wastes.

On completion of the course, the student will be able to make waste management a rewarding career or a lucrative business in areas like Management of Collectives, Medical Bio-Waste Management, Scrap Management Systems, Waste Market Promotion, Food Banks, Medicine Banks, Recycling and Upcycling Management, Clothes, Books & Toys Banks, Agricultural Waste Management, Hotel Waste Management, Hospital Waste Management, Water Recycling Management, e-Waste Management, Research Opportunities & Innovations.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Madhu Chitkara, Vice-Chancellor of Chitkara University said, "As a part of continuous innovation, Chitkara University is working with MGNCRE, and rolled out a new MBA course on Waste Management and Social Entrepreneurship. The fields of Solid Waste Management and Social Entrepreneurship can open many doors. It has the potential to provide fulfilling, well-paying livelihoods and holds the promise to a clean, liveable future. The student who chooses this line of study is opting into not just a career, but a healthy living for themselves and for the society."
