The 7.-hil. -rogramme with speciali8ation in -lanning and 2evelopment was launched in
19, and si<teen batches have passed out till date. The students who have successfully
completed the programme have been placed in premier corporate organi8ations, development
sectors, in '$*s, in research and academic institutions. Several of them have enrolled
themselves for -h.2. programme. The details of the programme and the admission procedure
are as follows>
H
-.$ )ationale
India has chosen the path of development through planning. The country so far has
completed ten five#year plans and is now implementing the (leventh =ive#Iear -lan.
,lthough during these years of planning, the country has made notable progress in many
fields such as agriculture, industry, science, technology, health, education etc., there has been
increasing criticism among social scientists, technologists and planners regarding the process,
priorities and performance of Indian planning from the point of view of tackling many vital
and crucial problems of development. There also has been an increasing awareness that social
reality and development are 0uite comple< phenomena, which can be understood in their
totality only by adopting an inter#disciplinary or multi#disciplinary approach. The holistic
understanding of socio#economic reality and of the various stages of development, and the
availability of the e<pertise involved in the formulation and implementation of development
policies can bring about a more sustainable and desirable development. There is a paucity of
such well#trained personnel in India at present. It is in this conte<t that the 2epartment of
3umanities and Social Sciences has launched the 7.-hil. -rogramme with speciali8ation in
-lanning and 2evelopment. This programme is different from the 7.-hil -rogrammes
offered at various universities. It is truly inter#disciplinary and has the contribution from the
disciplines of 3umanities and Social Sciences as well as from other departments and centers
in the institute.
