Ethics, Gender, Human Values, Environment, and Sustainability in transacting the Curriculum
Download Detailed ReportThe institute strives towards the holistic development of its students. Besides building their academic strength, there is a consistent focus on developing their social consciousness so as to make them responsible and accountable global citizens.
Integration in Curriculum Delivery: Different subjects taught in the courses integrate relevant issues on gender, human values, environment and sustainability through various topics such as sustainable development goals, stereotyping, business ethics, social marketing, and environmental and gender-related laws. Faculty members use such topics to sensitize students in a positive manner by using relevant examples and case studies while teaching. For example, while discussing stereotyping as a perceptual error, students learn about the issue of stereotypes (based on gender, age, etc) in the workplace and how to eradicate such biases, not just from the industry but also from our own minds.
Integration in Assessments: Aligned with the DME ethos of honesty, responsibility and accountability, the institute utilizes anti-plagiarism software for the evaluation of assignments to impress upon the students the importance of original work and proper referencing in their submissions. This helps in enhancing students’ writing and research skills while nurturing their professional ethics. Thus, DME promotes professional ethics and the right professional conduct among students so that they are well-equipped to handle their future roles in the industry in a professional and ethical manner.
Integration in Curricular Activities: Curricular events and activities at DME are envisioned with a view to sensitize and train students on relevant social issues and promote positive human values, e.g.
National Conference on ‘Global Economic Development and Environmental Issues’, Multi-dimensional Leadership Conclave on ‘Evolving Dimensions of Women Leadership’, Workshop on 'Resolution of Environmental Disputes Through ADR Mechanisms, International symposium ‘Deliberations on Rethinking the Environment: Sustainability in the Modern Era’, International conference (ICAN) on ‘Issues of Community
