The KCW–CARES Centre for Energy Studies, established in 2024, is a pioneering institutional initiative dedicated to advancing knowledge, research, skill development, and societal engagement in the energy sector. The Centre functions as a dynamic platform to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry requirements by offering specialized training programmes in both emerging and conventional energy domains for students, faculty members, in-house engineers, and external professionals. The Centre actively conducts capacity-building programmes covering critical and and future-ready technologies.

Beyond campus engagement, the Centre actively supports societal outreach through training programmes for working professionals and awareness initiatives for students from diverse academic backgrounds. The focus extends to promoting green technology adoption, renewable energy entrepreneurship, and sustainable livelihood opportunities.

Strengthening its contribution to national skill missions, the Centre has two faculty members certified as Trainers under the NSDC Suryamithra Training of Trainers (ToT) programme, enabling the institution to contribute to the development of a skilled solar workforce aligned with India’s renewable energy goals.
