About the Course
The second half of 20th
Century was dominated by an unwritten consensus on the need for
development, while the previous half and the decades prior to it were
primarily concerned with growth. In deed, the International commitment to
development was so strong that the transition from 20th to 21st century led
to the enunciation of a Million Development Goals. The world is seen
largely in terms of the contrasting halves: the developing and the
developed countries.
Not complying with the
varying conceptions, approaches and concerns of
development, there has never been a single measurement of indicator of development
(comprehensive beyond contestation). Even more daunting the challenge has
been the pace with which development has been attempted by different
nations, governing institutions and linguistic
society. Development, which has had been the `state’
driven process, now has come to assume even more a critical dimension in view
of the growing importance of market economy and the neo-liberal
politico economic processes. Society, within which are nested several
forms of internal differentiation – caste, class, religion, region, language
and so on – is responding with varying and conflicting patterns to the
process of global development.
Institute for Social and
Economic Change (ISEC), Bangalore, recognizes the urgent need for managing
the process of development and so has designed a cost effective course to
further the cause and concepts of development amongst the concerned. The Institute believes that there is a constant
need for up gradation of the knowledge base governing the principles of
development and principles of governing development. With a view to enable
different actors involved in the process, a three weeks Certificate Course
in Managing Development (CCMD) is being offered to development practitioners
working with state, corporate, civil society organisations and also to post
graduates, faculty of higher educational institutions engaged with
development research and training. The course is specially designed
not only to introduce the basic tenets, put forward different
perspectives, theoretical approaches, empirical evidences with adequate hands on experience. Besides the
multi-disciplinary faculty in ISEC, there shall also be specialists drawn
from diverse expertise in development offering the course.
