The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established by the United Nations, represent a comprehensive framework of 17 interconnected goals for addressing pressing global challenges and advancing human development in a sustainable manner. Encompassing critical areas such as poverty eradication, quality education, gender equality, and peace and justice, the goals serve as a roadmap for collective action, mobilizing governments, businesses, civil society, and individuals worldwide to work together towards achieving a more prosperous and equitable world by 2030. The initiative spearheaded by the Deanery, Research and Development, Madras Christian College entails the publication of 17 books, with each dedicated to a specific SDG theme. As the SDG goals are inherently interconnected, this initiative aims to cultivate an interdisciplinary research culture at MCC that transcends disciplinary boundaries, recognizing the inherent synergy between various academic disciplines. By encouraging collaboration among faculties, research scholars, and students from diverse departments as authors and editors, this inclusive approach not only enhances the substance of the books but also embodies the ethos of interdisciplinary cooperation essential for effectively addressing complex global challenges. The Deanery envisions this initiative as a catalyst for fostering an interdisciplinary research culture within the institution, promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration and acknowledging the inherent connections between different academic fields.
