Certificate Course in Development Studies (CCDS) @ ISEC
About the Course
The second half of the 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'. Indeed, the International commitment to development was so strong that the transition from 20th to 21st century led to the enunciation of 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 indicator for measuring development. Even more daunting a 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 critical dimensions 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 differentiations ? 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 studying the process of development in relation to the different dimensions of social and economic transformation in diverse social settings. Hence, it has designed a cost effective course to disseminate knowledge about the causes and consequences of development for the concerned practitioners. The Institute believes that there is a constant need for upgradation 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 to obtain a holistic understanding of the complex process, a two weeks' Certificate Course in Development Studies (CCDS) 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 through different perspectives, theoretical approaches, and empirical evidences with adequate hands on experience. In addition to the multi-disciplinary faculty in ISEC, there shall also be specialists drawn with diverse expertise in development studies to offer the course.
The course fee is Rs.20,000, which is subsidised to Rs.12000, covering boarding, lodging and, course material. Seats will be given on 'first come first served' basis
