Programme Design
The PGDRDM design rests on the tripod of (i) Rural Development Philosophy, Concepts,
Principles, Policies, Programmes and Organisations (ii) Rural Development Management
Practices, and (iii) Rural Social Sector. The Programme consists of three major
components, namely, (a) Classroom teaching and interactive learning (b) Fieldwork
(short visits and long visit) and (c) Field Attachment (Rural Organisational Internship).
The first Component envisages exposure to attitudes, skills and knowledge relevant
to the rural society, rural development philosophy and concepts, and rural development
management theories and practices. The second one primarily revolves around understanding
the rural society, its people, dynamics of interaction, institutions, relationships
and livelihoods by way of intensive fieldwork. The last Component seeks to equip
the students with skills of managing organisations/enterprises through organisational
internship for 'hands on learning and applications'. Programme Duration : One year
- Three Trimesters
Programme Framework
The classroom component is offered in the First Trimester (14 weeks); a large part
(10 weeks) of the Second Trimester is devoted to classroom followed by eight weeks
of rural organisational internship also called as 'field attachment (FA)', and the
rest of the Third Trimester (12 weeks) caps up the classroom learning. In effect,
the programme envisages twenty courses with 52.5 credits. The courses and the related
field and project work cover the essentials of rural society, economics, people
and organisations; good governance; natural and human resource development; rural
development management principles and practices; project planning and management;
management accounting and financial management; IT and ICT; small and medium rural
enterprises; rural organisations; rural credit; micro-finance; livelihoods; rural
product marketing; infrastructure; social sector services; development communication;
skill development; corporate social responsibility; geographical information system,
flagship programs and related fields. Based on the programme design and its objectives,
the following courses, as shown in the next page, seek to fulfil the objective of
the classroom component that is presented in three parts. Field visits and Field
Attachment / organisational internship (6 weeks) are interspersed with the classroom
component. Other associated academic activities equalling ten weeks duration at
different time points include short field visits, seminars, workshops, fortnightly
forum presentations, special lectures, thematic assignments, quizzes and examinations.
Special lectures, exposure visits, panel discussions, games and case studies comprise
the pedagogy and learning methodology. Student seminars, theme-specific assignments
and project work are expected to further aid the process of self and interactive
learning, both in and outside the classroom.

Field Attachment
Field Attachment (FA)-Rural Organisational Internship
As part of the PGDRDM curriculum requirement, the students are sent on short and
long field visits for field work and field attachment (Rural Organisational Internship)
of six weeks at the end of the second trimester in small groups. This component
carries a weightage of 2.0 credits. The short field visits of 2-3 days duration
numbering 25-30 visits (about 12 weeks) are arranged across the courses throughout
the Programme. The short and long field visits of two-three days spread over all
the three trimesters provide the students with core development and management insights
while imparting analytical skills for planning and managing rural development programmes.
The Six- week Field Attachment (Rural Organisational Internship) component seeks
to sensitise the students to the hard core problems of the rural society, its dynamics,
its realities and institutions. Also, the FA component focuses on Institutions,
organisational structures, organisational culture, management systems, HRD, finance,
production processes, marketing, value addition, etc. The students, under the guidance
of the CPGS Faculty, designated faculty members of other Centres of NIRD, the PGDRDM
guest faculty and Heads / Supervisors of the host organisations, are expected to
focus on the stated objectives, understand the processes, analyse the outcomes and
reflect and report on the overall learning drawn from the FA-Rural Organisational
Internship. The FA is scheduled during the period after the end of the second trimester
and commencement of the third trimester. Specific learning and application oriented
tasks / projects will be generated both by the CPGS and the host organisations for
individual or group work. Though the students are given a chance to choose an organisation
short-listed by the CPGS for FA, the CPGS reserves the right to attach a student
to any organisation considered important from the viewpoint of the objectives of
the PGDRDM.
Project Work
The students are required to undertake project work on specific themes of their
choice. A major part of the project work will revolve around electives and Fieldwork
and Organisational Internship. The project work will run throughout the Second and
Third Trimesters.
