Course programme
Key Features:
- The focus of the programme is on policy and related practice.
- The substance of the programme, to begin with, will be focused on urban and peri-urban issues and processes.
- The programme will start with multi-disciplinarity and strive to achieve inter- disciplinarity, the transition being driven by the needs and demands of the ground-reality.
- It would strive to bring together disciplines not only within social sciences or within physical or engineering/technical sciences, but disciplines from all these three groupings.
- Efforts to impart multidimensional understanding and multifarious capabilities will be founded on efforts-through a group of courses-to develop a perspective among students that is broad, socially inclusive, democratic, technically informed, and culturally as well as environmentally sensitive.
- Another distinguishing feature of the program will be its strong linkages with the ground-reality and commitment to respond to the needs and aspirations of different stake-holders, especially the disadvantaged and vulnerable sections of society. This understanding will permeate through and shape all the different components of the program.
