  3. Understanding What Development Signifies?

  4. Development is often construed to be about growth, political, and social ambitions put together. However, It goes a step further. Development is a continuous process that looks at societal development and results in their emergence from the depths of deprivation through increased productivity, economic and social freedom. Development being an ongoing process, it is also key to have a thought process that is self sustaining and not project based. Copyright 2020. The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM).

  5. What is Development Management?

  6. Wardiere Inc. Development management took roots from the application of pure management principles to the running of development activities. Copyright 2020. The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM).

  7. Evolution of Development Management

  8. Over time, it was felt necessary to introduce a process-based management system that would remove stagnation in the public service systems of largely underdeveloped countries such as India. Thus, evolved the study of Development Management. It has evolved from the days of traditional development administration and moved on to deliver an accelerated, responsive and customized approach to complex situations and conditions. Copyright 2020. The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM).

  9. Development Management has a much wider canvas and includes - 01 02 03 04 Management of Specific issues and tasks in development interventions. This management of development should look to work towards development ideals in a clearly defined context of development. Besides getting the task at hand completed, it also involves creation of a self- sustaining capacity for future interventions through institutions that rely on experience and a knowledge based model. Development Management, thus is involved with management, planning and policy-making aspects of the development process. Copyright 2020. The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM).

  10. Role of Social Science in Development Sector

  11. Social Science has been keenly working on the dynamics of the processes involved in the transformation of societies as they embark on the road to development. History shows us that the transformation of any society is a process that diverges from a simple task-oriented process to a holistic development effort. The transformation of any society is structural, complex, continuous and dependent on a host of factors that fuel the change. Copyright 2020. The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM).

  12. Dynamics of Development Sector in India In development, there is no end game

  13. In a structurally diverse country such as India, Development is driven through a management process that requires a deeper understanding of the dynamics of a mixed economy with an agenda that is led by populist government policies and intervention. Transformation is a continuous and cyclical process of change that evolves over a period of time. Wardiere Inc. Copyright 2020. The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM).

  14. With demographic, ethnic, social and economic diversity all the models in development economics somewhat fail to capture the complexities of transformation that are not only incentive driven but are also driven by "social formations" and "social processes". India, with its huge population, is a developing country with “Unlimited Supplies of Labour ‘’. We are still in the thought process where the dual-sector model of W. Arthur Lewis is often applied in planning models and looks - the subsistence sector and the capitalist sector. Unfortunately, the complex process of development goes beyond the rather simplistic approach and requires a deeper understanding of the development management process. Copyright 2020.

  15. Social Sector The Next Place to be

  16. The younger generation of today is seeking fulfillment at their work. While money is important these youngsters look to be part of a bigger picture. Leading a balanced life that offers them happiness and satisfaction, takes overriding priority over money. What Motivates the Young Leaders in their Career Leaders of Tomorrow Leaders of Tomorrow responded that work which had a positive impact on society was the most important criterion responded that the income levels motivated them to join the sector At the St Gallen Symposium, a global conference for leaders, students were asked as to what motivated them in the career. These findings reflect the shifting attitudes of today’s students who are now keen in applying management skills to shape society. Copyright 2020. The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM).

  17. Current Status of the Development Sector in India

  18. The development sector in India is now maturing with thrust coming from the government as well as the corporate sector. With the government realising that it is no longer possible to follow the development agenda given the sheer size and numbers, the corporate sector is also coming forward. The professionalization of this is a natural corollary. Even the way of doing business is undergoing a paradigm change with factors such as sustainability, culture, social responsibility and governance coming to the fore. To manage this transition, there is an increasing demand for people who are educated and possess the right skillset. Copyright 2020. The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM).

  19. Why should you consider a career in the social sector?

  20. The development sector has rapidly grown in India with organizations/ initiatives like domestic and international NGOs, foundations with a social focus, CSR activities, social consulting, social research organizations etc. coming forth. With the millennial wanting to pursue a meaningful and purposeful career, the roads have opened up the development sector. The changing career opportunities in the sector have led to opportunities with remunerations that are at par with the best in the industry. A case in example is ISDM (Indian School of Development Management) has been regularly placing its students in the social sector with more than 100 reputed development organizations and corporates coming to the campus. The packages offered to the students are at par and in some cases better than other high profile professions like IT. Rapidly Growing Career with a Social Sector Purpose This has thrown up a host of opportunities with managerial and structural roles getting specialised. Requirements for roles in strategy, communications, fund-raising, project management, programme leadership, CSR partnerships and operations and others have led to the social development sector to evolve as one of the primary career destinations. Funding Landscape With alternate funding avenues (like CSR) now getting redirected to the social sector, the demand for professionals and managers is on the increase. Working in this area gives the professional to deliver sustainable social impact and the opportunity to tackle the most complex social issues facing our nation. For youngsters who are passionate about social issues, the development sector promises a career full of substance. Copyright 2020. The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM).

  24. The differences between ISDM’s PGP-DM Program and an MSW Degree (Master of Social Work)

  25. MSW PGP-DM On the other hand, PGP-DM Program offered by ISDM goes a step further and imparts management and leadership skills required to work in the Social Sector. The traditional MSW course is geared at familiarizing students with working at a grass root level and doing field work. PGP-DM Program trains students to manage and lead in the development sector in a variety of roles in areas such as research, CSR, advocacy, management, marketing, or entrepreneurship, and in thematic areas ranging from health and education to water, sanitation and gender etc. The MSW degree focuses on imparting learning in the field of development with emphasis on marginalised communities, women, children, disabled, disaster affected and the underprivileged to put it broadly In that sense, the minute difference in the two programmes hinges on the career aspirations of the student. ISDM’s PGP-DM Program offers the student a wider canvas to grow professionally and also pursue a meaningful and purposeful career. Copyright 2020. The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM).
