Teaching Methodology
Apart from the class room inputs the semesters of all the programmes are packed with workshops, seminars, conferences and exposure trips which allow the students to explore, assimilate and conceptualize issues and realities from various dimensions and develop clarity and better understanding.
There are extension programmes of the institute like literacy programmes and community development programmes which are initiatives of the students and are facilitated by the teachers. This is a unique opportunity for the students to get involved in project formulation and implementation during their course of study. Networking and advocacy is a strong tool of the institute to bring about transformation. The institute collaborates with Government and non-governmental organizations in areas requiring change and intervention.
