Decent Work and Economic Growth

We at O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) work tirelessly towards advancing Decent Work and Economic Growth. To us, it means empowering students, staff and the wider community through holistic commitment to fair employment, economic resilience, and sustainability. We understand that meaningful economic progress must be inclusive, providing opportunities for dignified work, ethical recruitment, skill development, as well as entrepreneurship.  

Our integrated approach is reflected in our policies that guarantee living wages for every university contract employee, non-discriminatory hiring processes and advancement and strong protections for labour rights. 

Our hands-on learning, industry engagement, and global research collaborations prepare our students to also contribute to a rapidly changing job market. Our programs emphasize employment equity, gender pay parity, and the eradication of exploitative or unfair practices – thereby aligning the campus operations and academic outputs with global best standards. 

By placing SDG 8 at the center of teaching, operations and community outreach, JGU is building an environment where everyone can thrive not merely on campus but also beyond.
