Programe of Study
M.Sc. Sustainable Development
(run in colloboration with Department of
Scoiology; An Innovative Programme
specially funded by UGC)
The decade of 2005-2015 has been declared
by UN to be Sustainable Development Decade
to underscore the vital importance of
seitching over to a sustainable mode of
living. Sine qua non for the success of the
initiative is trained man-power to translate
the policy into reality on the ground. To create
empowered and enabled leaders to manage
the transition to sustainability in India,
Pondicherry University, in keeping with its
mandate, has launched this unique 2-year
learning based on hands-on interactions
with practitioners and stakeholders. This
Programme is INNOVATIVE, FUNDED by UGC in the X plan in the University. The
learning programme consists of several
courses at the cutting edge by the two
Departments. The programme has a LARGE
EXPERIENTIAL PART in that the students
and teachers continually INTERACT WITH
PRACTITIONERS AND STAKEHOLDERS
BOTH IN THE CLASS ROOM AND IN THE
FIELD. In the fourth semester the students
would be undertaking an in-depth field based
dissertation project. The first batch of
students is yet to graduate. But the
University is striving to ensure that the
trained talent finds appropriate avenues that
allow proper expression of capacity. To enable
the students get hands on experience with
using modern Information Technology for
Sustainable Development, the University
has EXCLUSIVE COMPUTATIONAL AND GIS
FACILITIES for this programme.
Entrance Examination
Students are selected on the basis of All India
Entrance examination of 2-Hour duration.
The question would be of an objective type
designed to test the aptitude of the student
