Why RHF is Driving TRIIMPACT COEs

Colleges today are under immense pressure not just to comply with rankings and accreditations, but to establish themselves as credible hubs of knowledge creation and innovation. Traditional compliance-driven approaches are no longer sufficient. Research and innovation linked with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are becoming the true differentiators for global recognition and funding access. RHF is pioneering TRIIMPACT-focused Centres of Excellence (COEs) to help institutions:

  • Strengthen their research ecosystem and global standing.
  • Generate impactful solutions to societal and industrial challenges.
  • Unlock diverse funding streams from CSR, government, and international agencies.
  • Position themselves as leaders in sustainability, innovation, and societal transformation.

Few of Our Initiatives

Why Colleges Need to Establish COEs


01

Future-readiness: Colleges that build TRIIMPACT COEs will shape future innovations and create impact; mere accreditation will not open global doors.

02

Strategic Differentiation: COEs demonstrate that a college is solving real societal and industrial problems through research, not just ticking compliance boxes.

03

Research & Funding Magnet: Institutions with TRIIMPACT COEs become natural destinations for CSR, DST, DBT, AICTE, and international funding agencies seeking impactful outcomes.

04

Global Leadership & Visibility: By embedding SDGs into research, colleges showcase their relevance to pressing global challenges, attracting international partners and collaborations.

05

Student Success & Employability: Engaging students in SDG research ensures skill-building, innovation exposure, and entrepreneurial pathways.

Advantages to Colleges

Direct access to multi-crore CSR and SDG-aligned research funding.
Enhanced visibility and reputation through real-world research outcomes.
Global partnerships and consortia opportunities that elevate the institution onto the international stage.
Improved student employability and entrepreneurship by engaging them in frontline research and innovation projects.
Establishment of a distinctive brand identity as a research-led, future-ready institution.

How TRIIMPACT COEs Will Be Implemented (Model Roadmap)

Year 1: Establish and launch core lab infrastructure, appoint faculty leads, and roll out 2–3 flagship research projects directly aligned to priority SDGs. Demonstrate early wins through pilot solutions, student engagement, or small CSR funding.
Year 2: Scale research initiatives, deepen industry partnerships, and secure larger CSR and government grants. Position COE outputs for national-level recognition.
Year 3: Expand global collaborations, publish impactful research, and attract international funding agencies. Showcase COE leadership in sustainability and innovation.

Illustrative Focus Areas
(Flexible by College Strengths)

Quality Education (SDG 4): Digital learning labs, faculty teaching innovation, student success analytics.
Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure (SDG 9): Smart campus hubs, frugal engineering, patents, and startup incubation.
Climate Action (SDG 13): Renewable energy, net-zero campuses, climate risk management.
Partnerships (SDG 17): Regional and global research consortia, industry-academia partnerships.
