At ISBS an effort is made to achieve curriculum integration, by constantly sensitizing our students about their responsibility towards environment, society and its challenges. Our students are encouraged to actively organize and participate in various social responsibility projects which form an integral part of Corporate Social Responsibility. IGI has also committed a percentage share of its revenue towards social cause.

We wish to become proactive partners in the human development and economic growth of our nation.
Some of our involvements indicated will summarize our efforts towards such initiatives:

The findings of this study are/were the foundation for the proposed rehabilitation policy of MIDC.
