The Centre for Circular Economy is the Teaching, Training and Research activities hub of Friend In Need India Trust. The Centre comprises students, academics and professionals engaged in research projects, teaching programmes (internships) and knowledge sharing events (National and International Workshops, Webinars).

The Centre organizes and hosts workshops to bring together key stakeholders and change makers and provides opportunities for interaction with them. These workshops also incorporate site visits as an important component in order to provide first hand experience to the challenges in the field. More recently, under the corona virus siege, the Centre started a webinar series which has proved to be highly successful.
