Trade Review“Civil society and social responsibility in higher education beautifully covers different aspects through which higher education can help in reforming social problems" -- Dr. Tajinder Kaur

Universities have started adopting sustainability projects: in curriculums, students’ involvement, raising awareness among stakeholders. This book will be of interest to anyone seeking new theoretical and practical concepts in all aspects of social responsibility in Higher Education”. -- Hend Merza
