The immersion component has multiple benefits: it can help make an informed decision about career choice, provide hands- on learning through exposure to the field under the supervision and with the support of mentors and guides, help concretise the theoretical learning of the classroom, and finally enable safe experimentation in the field under supervision. The programme will also strengthen research skills, particularly in relation to developing appropriate methodologies, both participatory and action-oriented, for answering critical questions arising from the field. It is envisaged that dissertations would involve reflective exercises applying analytical tools to understand the implications of specific development interventions in which the learner may have been involved themselves.
The programme provides the conceptual, methodological and emotional skills for a unique progression from understanding the rural context and problematising the developmental issues therein to engaging with processes of change and transformation.
Scholarship of Rs 15,000 per month to all those who apply and are selected in the new professional MPhil in Development Practice. This is not a research degree but a practice based programme which prepares Development Professionals. It is a unique collaboration between a university and a NGO.
