About
India has proved its ability to break through the global economy by joining the ranks of the fastest growing economies in the world. Yet, despite 71 years of political independence our nation still faces major concerns and challenges such as endemic poverty and sporadic development. Politics of Development (PoD) is a three-day residential certificate course that explains the root causes of such issues and explores solutions for the same. At PoD, participants will get a chance to explore what it means to 'do development differently' and what role public policy can play in solving social and economic issues plaguing our nation.
The course involves a variety of interactive learning methods, including dynamic games and role plays, lectures, documentary screening, discussions and personal reflections to provide participants with opportunities to explore and share ideas in an open space.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course participants will be able to:
- Recognize how institutions determine outcomes through influencing behavior of rational actors by structuring their incentives
- Evaluate how institutional arrangements that promote competition in both political and economic markets lead to better outcomes for citizens
- Understand that public policy is the most effective means of achieving sustainable social change
