Fourteen Grand Challenges were identified by National Academy of Engineers (NAE) for betterment of human race in the Twenty-first Century. It is believed to project a sustainable life if we overcome such challenges prescribed by NAE. NAE formulated a consortium of engineers and formulated the Grand Challenges Scholars Program (GCSP) for the need of futuristic engineers who can shape the world. This program spread across the globe across nearly 122 participating institutions and none from the Indian Sub-continent. The current work show cases on the approach of an engineering institution in India approaching towards the membership in Grand Challenges Scholars program. This paper briefs on the initiatives taken by the institution in meeting the Objectives of NAE.
