25+ years of building India's industrial safety workforce
NIFS is a unit of SSB Institute of Higher Studies Educational Society — NSDC approved, ISO 9001:2015 certified, and headquartered in Visakhapatnam.
A national training institution with a real track record
NIFS India — the National Institute of Fire & Safety — is a unit of the SSB Institute of Higher Studies Educational Society. From the classroom to the refinery floor, we turn classroom training into real industrial safety careers, trusted by recruiters across construction, EPC, manufacturing, and FMCG.
Our real differentiator is a genuine university-recognized degree path through Acharya Nagarjuna University — so students can progress from certificate courses to B.Sc degrees while training hands-on in real hazard environments.
Education, training, and industrial safety services
NIFS runs certificate, diploma, PG diploma, and degree programs in fire and industrial safety — plus a full industrial services division (IFESM) covering safety audits, compliance, emergency preparedness, and corporate training.
Led by Chairman & CEO Sri. Suneel Mahanty (M.Sc., M.Phil. & MBA), the institute is guided by an advisory board of academic, legal, medical, and industrial safety specialists.
