The Master of Public Health programme includes multiple core field practice components. This includes a semester-long internship and field project in Semester 4. 

The internship and field project has a three-phased rigorous engagement that involves, 

Phase 1 — Development of a project proposal in consultation with the organisation mentor and the faculty mentor (during the third semester)

Phase 2 — 16-weeks extended fieldwork of data collection and internship (during the fourth semester)

Phase 3 — 4‑weeks of analysis and writing course that involves workshops and writeshops. 

This student-driven process is guided by faculty mentor and involves ethics approval by the Institutional Review Board.  These field projects — research, action projects, or interventions — address relevant public health issues, including food and nutrition, tribal health, geriatric health, reproductive health, health system strengthening, etc. 
 

Having gone through this rigorous process, students of the 2023 – 25 batch will present their learnings and insights during the Panel Presentations. The event highlights students’ in-depth engagement with real-world, demonstrating their understanding of public health realities. 

The two-day event exhibits a snapshot of diverse public health issues, captured through the gaze of our MPH students who were hosted by 12 organizations in six states of India.
