Centre for Critical Sectorial Preparedness and Strategic Resilience (CCSPSR)
The Centre for Critical Sectorial Preparedness and Strategic
Resilience (CCSPSR) is committed to understanding, preparing for, and
strengthening the resilience of Bharat’s vital sectors. It focuses on critical
domains such as aviation, financial services, healthcare, energy, and digital
infrastructure. As a collaborative platform, CCSPSR brings together experts,
stakeholders, and policymakers to identify vulnerabilities and emerging
threats. Through strategic insights and innovative solutions, the Centre works
to ensure that these essential sectors remain strong, adaptive, and
future-ready. Its mission is to safeguard Bharat’s infrastructure and economic
foundation by building resilience against disruptions and risks. By promoting
knowledge-sharing and strategic action, CCSPSR plays a pivotal role in securing
the nation’s critical sectorial capabilities for long-term sustainability and
national security.
Research Objectives
- Identify and Mitigate
Sector-Specific Risks: The Centre aims to
identify vulnerabilities unique to each critical sector, assess their
potential impact, and develop strategies to mitigate these risks. Research
will focus on both immediate threats and long-term challenges, providing
actionable recommendations.
- Promote Cross-Sectorial Resilience: Recognising the interdependence of various
sectors, the Centre seeks to build a comprehensive framework for
resilience. This involves studying how disruptions in one sector affect
others and proposing integrated risk management practices.
- Advance Policy and Strategic
Preparedness: The Centre will engage in research that
informs policy decisions, advocating for regulatory and legislative
measures that enhance sectorial resilience. This involves staying ahead of
emerging trends, such as technological advancements and evolving geopolitical
landscapes.
- Enhance Disaster Preparedness and
Crisis Management: The Centre will develop
strategies to bolster disaster readiness and effective crisis response for
critical sectors. By leveraging scenario analysis and simulations, the aim
is to prepare sectors for both natural and human-induced crises.
- Foster Sustainable Innovation and
Practices: Through research, the Centre will explore
sustainable and innovative practices that ensure long-term sectorial
health. This involves promoting technologies and methods that align with
environmental sustainability and global best practices.
- Collaborate for Knowledge Sharing
and Capacity Building: The Centre is committed to
fostering partnerships and facilitating knowledge exchange between
industry experts, academia, and government bodies. Research outcomes will
contribute to building a well-informed community capable of addressing
complex sectorial challenges.
Centre for Manufacturing, Logistics and Supplychain Excellence (CMLSCE)
The Centre for Manufacturing, Logistics and Supplychain Excellence
(CMLSCE) is dedicated to advancing Bharat’s capabilities in strategic
manufacturing, efficient logistics, and resilient supply chains. The Centre
serves as a hub for research, innovation, and capacity-building to strengthen
the operational backbone of the nation’s economy. CMLSCE brings together
industry leaders, academic researchers, policymakers, and technology experts to
address systemic challenges, optimize performance, and future-proof Bharat’s
industrial and logistical frameworks. Through strategic insights, technological
integration, and best practices, the Centre aims to build globally competitive
and resilient manufacturing and supplychain ecosystems. CMLSCE’s mission is to
ensure that Bharat’s industries are adaptive, sustainable, and capable of
withstanding global disruptions and evolving market dynamics.
Research Objectives

logistics operations, reduce bottlenecks, and improve distribution
efficiencies through smart technologies, multimodal transport integration,
and data-driven approaches.
- Enhance Supplychain Resilience: The Centre will identify vulnerabilities within
domestic and international supply chains and develop strategies for
diversification, localization, and rapid response to supply disruptions.
- Promote Sustainable and Green Practices: CMLSCE will advocate for environmentally
responsible manufacturing and logistics solutions, promoting circular
economy models, energy efficiency, and sustainable resource management.
- Advance Policy Frameworks and Strategic Partnerships: The Centre will engage with policymakers to craft
forward-looking policies that support resilient supplychains, indigenous
manufacturing, and global competitiveness, while fostering partnerships
across industry and academia.
- Foster Innovation, Skill Development, and Knowledge Sharing: Through research initiatives, training programs,
and collaborative platforms, CMLSCE aims to build a skilled workforce,
encourage innovation, and disseminate best practices across the
manufacturing and logistics sectors.
