The Centre for Development Studies (CDS) as a multi-disciplinary centre, aims to equip the students with critical, analytical and applied skills that they use in future either as academicians or as development practitioners. It provides opportunities to students to critically examine a relevant body of knowledge (theoretical perspectives and approaches) and current debates and learn research methods (qualitative and quantitative). Practicum, field-work, and internship experiences facilitate learning the process of development, policy planning and practicum in the real life settings. The students are exposed to the complex process of development which requires consideration of the specifics of local situations and circumstances along the global interactions and influences. The academic programmes enhance the insightful understanding and interplay of social, cultural, ecological, political, and economic variables in the development process which is required to constructively deal with inequitable outcomes of the development.
