What this is
A record, kept in public
A structured public record of institutional activity at KIIT, classified against the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and the five Viksit Bharat @2047 themes.
What Kortex is
A public, structured, citable record of activity that has already happened.
Kortex draws on the registers KIIT Deemed to be University already keeps — faculty reporting returns, the agreements register, publication metadata — deduplicates them into one record per real-world activity, and classifies each activity against the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the five Viksit Bharat @2047 development themes.
Every activity has its own page with a stable address, and every page carries the evidence for what it says: the fields the record holds, the reasoning behind each classification, the confidence it was assigned in, which source it came from, and when that source was last read.
That last date is a freshness date. It records when Kortex read the source, not a check of the source against any external authority.

- Figures generated
Distinct countries, counted as the union of two substrates: the country of the partner on a published memorandum of understanding, and the resolved country of the place a published activity was held in. A country is counted once however many activities reach it. Records with no resolved geography contribute nothing rather than being guessed at — that includes the online and virtual records, which have no geography to resolve, and the location strings the alias table does not yet recognise. The figure is therefore a floor, and it is stated as one.
Who maintains it
The Internal Quality Assurance Cell, on behalf of the university.
Kortex is the property of KIIT Deemed to be University and is maintained by its Internal Quality Assurance Cell. The Cell is responsible for what is published here: which sources are ingested, which records are reviewed, and which are released.
A record entering the system is a draft. It appears on this site only once it has been marked published, and the public pages read through a database role with access to published records alone.
What it is for
Assessment, accreditation, and anyone who wants to check.
Kortex serves three audiences: external assessors working to a ratings framework, accreditation teams compiling an annexure, and anyone wishing to verify a particular record.
Each activity page is therefore complete on its own. It states what the record is, where it came from and why it carries the classifications it carries, without requiring the reader to follow a link. It prints legibly, it is indexed for search, and its address does not change.
The two frameworks
One international, one national, crosswalked to each other.
KIIT Deemed to be University supports the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Sustainable Development Goals are the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda, adopted in 2015: 17 goals and 169 targets beneath them. All 169 targets are held in this system, and classification names a target wherever a record supports one.
Viksit Bharat @2047 is India’s national development vision for the centenary of independence. Kortex classifies against its 5 development themes rather than its four demographic pillars, for a reason set out on the methodology page: the pillars name population groups, and this record’s unit is an activity, which has a subject rather than a demographic.
