The Master of Arts (Rural Development and Governance) covers recent thinking on decentralisation, local governance, participatory and inclusive rural development and introduces the most up-to-date methodologies and approaches for the facilitation of multi stakeholder processes, social learning and change. This programme will explore new paths of engagement with citizens in governance that is transparent and accountable, and explore new ways of positive engagement with the system, to bring about change together. The aim of this programme is to build capacities to strengthen development and rural development work through a strong cadre of young professionals who will have a comprehensive grip on theoretical understanding, along with analytical skills and experiential learning over the two years of the academic programme. Firstly, it is Social Work Rural Development from the Tuljapur Campus, so calling it management might not be that accurate. It is really good, there are many organizations that recruit from there since there are many organizations which work on rural livelihoods, especially because of National Rural Livelihoods Mission in action and many other projects coming up. But it is mostly NGO work, and a lot of field engagement.
