M.A. Sustainable Development Practice (SDP)

“ I had a background in engineering, and pursuing an M.A. in (SDP) was a great decision. I wished to work in the social sector and often lacked the tools to contribute. The first two semesters of the Programme introduced us to a wide range of topics and tools in environment, policy building, project management and a practical experience working with a grassroots organisation. The third and fourth semesters can be tailored according to individual goals, developing skills as required by selecting from a wide range of electives and internships. The project I developed during my final internship got funded by the Alexander von Humboldt foundation for further research”.

"Masters in Sustainable Development Practice aided me to view issues in the world as interwoven. This systems thinking approach not only assisted me to get a birds eye view but also an in depth understanding of the problems on ground. The intensive field based curriculum helped me understand the nuances in the Public Health Care System of Bihar which is crucial for my role as a manager. The uniqueness of the programme is also its diversity with students from different subject backgrounds and cultures come together to comprehend complex issues at hand. Joining the programme was indeed an enlightening and thought provoking experience that shall stay with me for a life time. "
