CISED announces 3rd Short-term course on Environment and Rural Development

The Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Environment and Development (CISED) is organising a two week short-term course on 'Environment and Rural Development' in September 2007. CISED is a Centre of Excellence being promoted by Institute of Social and Economic Change, Bangalore.

The course is targeted towards senior persons from practitioner and activist organisations, policy research and advocacy groups, PhD students, journalists and policy-makers who work on questions of NRM-based rural development and others who are interested in developing their analytical capacity in this area.

Explaining why CISED decided to start the course, Dr Sharachchandra Lele, Course Coordinator, says, " During our own research on NRM based issues we realised that researchers, and more so practitioners and policy makers, find it difficult to follow the rapidly changing debates on various issues. The course we have designed is meant to expose participants to basic concepts, debates, analytical approaches and emerging issues in the area of NRM-based Rural Development, particularly forests and water".

If you are seriously interested in enrolling for the course, please contact : Dr Sharachchandra Lele, Course Coordinator, Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Environment and Development ISEC Campus, Nagarabhavi, Bangalore 560 072
