Development and Social Change in India: Critical and Constructive Perspectives November 2019 Batch
This short course specially designed for the development organisations and provides a comprehensive overview of the history, present and future direction of this complex story of development and social change in India.
What does the course offer?
This course offers a broad overview of the critical changes in society, economy, politics and ecology that brought us to where we are today in the country.
It further deals with the key theoretical and conceptual frameworks which shaped and critiqued this journey, and finally highlights the new approaches and possibilities emerging in development interventions across the world.
We hope this course encourage organisations to reflect on their premises, orientations, and actions.
