Rajagiri College of Social Sciences (RCSS), together with its sister educational concerns, owes its existence to the CMI (Carmelites of Mary Immaculate) fathers, the first ever indigenous religious congregation for men in the Syrian Catholic tradition of Christianity in India. The CMIs drawing inspiration from their founding father St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara, a great visionary, reformer and religious leader of the 19th century, have proven themselves worthy of that heritage in the field of education by establishing institutions of excellence imparting quality education, across the length and breadth of the State, and in various parts of India. Rajagiri College of Social Sciences (Autonomous) was established as a result of the indefatigable industry and foresight of the CMI. The various axioms of the insitution maintain the axiomatic spirit of Rajagiri - ‘Relentlessly Towards Excellence’. Rajagiri College of Social Sciences (RCSS) is the eldest child of Rajagiri Vidyapeedam (Rajagiri group of educational institutions). RAJAGIRI literally means “The Hill of the King '' and derivatively it refers to the hillock where Jesus Christ is accepted as the King or the model, as the human embodiment of the virtues of love, truth and justice.

The SDGs were formulated in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as part of the Post-2015 Development Agenda, which sought to create a future global development framework and to be achieved by 2030. There are cross cutting areas and synergies between different goals. It is therefore imperative that discussion and action in multidisciplinary domains needs to be initiated. The COVID-19 pandemic had serious negative impacts on all 17 SDGs. Multidisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research across economic, socio-political, and environmental dimensions from the perspectives of academia and industry needs to be carried out to identify best models and practices which could be adopted.
As part of observing the 25th year of ‘Internationalisation’ - which has been the catchword of Rajagiri since its inception - an International Conference on Multidisciplinary Approaches to Sustainable Development Goals is being conducted in addition to our international partner's meet, which is scheduled to be in the valley campus of Rajagiri in Kakkanad. The conference will be conducted with 9 tracks, ranging from social work to computer science, ensuring all disciplines contribute to the achievement of global goals (SDGs). This conference is a platform for academicians and industry experts to share and reflect on their experiences in advancing SDGs and collaborate with organizations working in similar domains. This conference explores the possibility of global networks in domain-specific areas of SDGs that can learn from each other and initiate best models in their practice.
