The cover design seeks to represent Azim Premji University as a space for growth and inclusion where students and faculty work together to contribute to the realization of a just, equitable, humane and sustainable society.

The illustration on the cover has been taken from an artwork which has been created for Azim Premji University by Ram Soni, who comes from family with a long tradition in Sanjhi art. Sanjhi is a traditional craft form that represents motifs from day to day life through intricate patterns and designs cut into paper using special scissors.

We would like to thank students for some of the photographs used in this brochure.

Developing Leaders for Social ChangeAzim Premji University was established by the Azim Premji Foundation in 2010. It was founded with a clear social purpose, as part of a larger strategy to contribute to the education and development sectors in the country.

Our vision is “Education for social change, to contribute to the realization of a just, equitable, humane and sustainable society”.

The University started with offering two post graduate programmes, M.A. Education and M.A. Development in 2011, and currently has eight specializations on offer within these programmes.

The Undergraduate programme and the M.A. in Public Policy and Governance were introduced last year, and this year we have started the LLM program with a focus on Development. Our program strategy and their design arise directly from our purpose.

Students from across the country choose to come to our University because of its social purpose. Our rigorous admission process considers both the relevant capacities and the social commitment of the applicants. Once at the University, the students have a learning experience that builds on their inherent motivation and develops the capacities of independent thinking and sustained action. Our faculty have deep academic expertise along with decades of experience in the social sector. They work with students inside and outside the classroom to make their experience a genuine crucible of learning.

Having gone through this experience, our graduating class is a group of capable and committed people wanting to go out and make a genuine difference. In the past four years, over 700 students have successfully graduated, almost all of whom have chosen to work in the social sector. They have taken up a range of roles, including program implementation and evaluation, policy formulation, mobilization, advocacy and research. Specifically, the graduates of M.A. Education are contributing in, capacity enhancement of teachers and education functionaries, curriculum development and school management, amongst other areas and the graduates of M.A. Development are contributing in roles across the domains of livelihood, health and nutrition, sustainability, governance and other integrated development issues. Today, our alumni are contributing in these roles, spread across the entire country, with very many of them in some of the most disadvantaged parts of the country.

The batch of 2015-17 with over 350 graduates from the M.A. Education, M.A. Development, M.A. in Public Policy and Governance and LL.M. in Law and Development programmes is now seeking opportunities to work with organizations such as yours, with the purpose of contributing to building a better society.

This document gives you a glimpse of this energetic and committed group of people. We look forward to engaging in a dialogue with you to take this forward.

Our Faculty, Teaching and Learning ProcessOver the past six years we have built a very committed faculty team of 130 members. Most faculty have doctoral degrees in relevant domains and many have personally contributed to the social sphere and have been actively engaged in setting up and running NGOs and schools across the country. The blend of academics and field experience among the faculty creates a very vibrant, rich and collegial environment. Added to this, the wealth of experience and practice related expertise of Azim Premji Foundation’s field institution members, guest lectures from several practitioners and academicians from outside have immensely benefited students.

We expect the education at the University to be an important beginning or continuation, not the final stage, of a process of learning.

Our programmes aim to

(i) promote excellence in learning appropriate to the diverse contexts that students come from

(ii) ensure that they reflect the University’s social purpose and

(iii) nurture students who are capable of making sensitive ethical choices, are socially engaged and capable of thoughtful and skillful action.

In line with this, the teaching and learning processes inside and outside the classroom are designed to ensure that students and faculty engage each other in dialogue, questioning and also address issues of inclusion and diversity. Faculty are facilitators of learning, creating an environment that is not competitive, but one that focuses on the students own accomplishments in learning.

Vibrant Academic Environment

EventsWe have made significant resource commitments in creating platforms for learning, networking and knowledge sharing, given their criticality to nurturing a vibrant academic environment. These events are of varying nature, both in their design, participant profile and reach. Key among them are:

a. International Seminars like ‘Philosophy of Education’ and ‘Law and Goverance’ are in their fifth year now, providing a platform for national and international scholars to come together. Each of these are focused on specific themes; Social Justice and Education, Policy Issues in Education, Legal System Reform, Right to Welfare, Public Policy, Understanding Governance in India etc. Several other workshops, seminars and conferences have been held in collaboration with other reputed institutions like the Humboldt University, Germany, University of Chicago, Indian Institute of Human Settlements etc.

b. University Colloquiums are a weekly event, where academics and practitioners are on campus, sharing their research / field experiences with the students and faculty body. We have hosted more than 250 such talks.


c. Public Lecture series has been very successful in creating and sustaining an ongoing dialogue around key social issues. We have done more than 50 such lectures over the past five years.

d. MANTHAN, the annual research conference, brings together researchers from the University and field locations. In its fourth year now, MANTHAN consists of panel discussions with experts, research presentations and capacity building workshops. It has established a unique place for itself by bringing field practitioners and academics to a common research platform.

e. Kathavana is the annual children’s literature festival that brings together hundreds of young children and teachers, instilling in them the love for literature. Plays, workshops on drawing, puppet making, other performances, and book exhibitions are all part of this grand event.

f. Summer schools / workshops are typically for 5 -10 days on specific domain areas / themes and participants are usually people already working in these areas. Recent ones include summer schools on ‘Philosophy of Education’, ‘Changing Nature of Public and Private in Education’ in collaboration with TISS and Kings College, London, ‘Advanced Graduate Workshop in Indian Development’ for doctoral students, in collaboration with Institute of New Economic Thinking, New York.

Student InitiativesThe immense diversity in the student cohort has ensured that campus life is vibrant and enjoyable. Several student led activities have become part of daily life on campus and each one has contributed to their learning in multiple ways.

• Pahal is the umbrella under which a large number of students are actively engaged with social causes ranging from education of disadvantaged children, working with the community around the campus, environmental concerns, blood donation camps etc.

• The Kaapi Aur Charcha series invites

practitioners from various fields to engage in informal talks with the students.

• Student publications Karvan and Student Journal of Education and Development are into their third edition now.

• The University Social Enterprise Cell is a vibrant platform where many students are trying to come up with innovative solutions to some of the most complex social problems. The cell enables students to share, debate and discuss those ideas and network with individuals and like-minded groups.

• Debating Development is a forum for interested students to come together and debate contemporary social issues.

• Unmukt, the annual cultural festival, occupies a special place in the hearts of every member of the University community.

• Student clubs have been formed, catering to different interests; Cinema, Theatre, Literature, Quiz, Photography, Sports etc.

Admissions and Students’ SupportIntegral to our vision and core purpose, is the commitment to inclusion and diversity. The University strives to ensure that students from disadvantaged backgrounds can access quality higher education. Equally critical is our commitment to ensure that they are supported to overcome disadvantages and realize their potential. Our admission process, extensive reach, selection process of tests and interviews and extensive financial support for students are all aimed towards this.

Our student profile reflects the diversity

• We currently have students from 23 states

• 44% of students are from small towns and rural areas

• 36% of our students were women in year 1, we currently have 53% women students

• Over the last three years, around 40% of our students have prior work experience at NGOs, in teaching or at corporates.

10

• Diversity is also reflected in their background of undergraduate study in Arts, Science, Commerce, Engineering, Social work, Business Management and Journalism.

Student wellbeing is central to the University’s functioning and we are keen on building a caring community. We recognize that many students need intensive support and sensitive care to realize their potential.

I have been working with Pradan for the last 2 months, in Chhattisgarh, Lailunga block. Things on ground are quite challenging and the last 2 months have taught me a lot. My University created a base for me to understand things theoretically and Pradan has deepened that understanding with daily encounters with realities in a village.

I am with Next Education as an Associate Product Manager, Department R&D, Science Education. My role demands focusing on creating innovative learning and teaching solutions in K-12 domain. The idea is to make science learning easier, deeper and more holistic for our students.

Looking back, I feel APU made me a more observant and reflective person. It built my mental stamina to take on complex situations or problems with an ease. It brought back compassion and sensitivity to me. Now, when I try to conceptualize or design any new products, these learnings help me to look things in much wider and holistic way

M.A. Education Field EngagementDirect engagement with educational contexts and practices forms an integral part of the programme and helps students develop a grounded understanding of the practical implications of the various concepts and theories that they study about in the programme. Students have weekly practicums related to various courses and more intensive field practice experiences spread across the two years of the programme.

Broadly, the field practice components of the programme are conceptualized as stages of an overall plan whereby students’ progress from initial exposure, to a more theoretical engagement with educational issues, and finally to an actual educational engagement involving both theory and practice. The students are placed in a wide variety of educational settings for their field practice – schools (different types), public and private agencies engaged in education and non-government and civil society organizations working in the area of education.

Semester 1 - Field ImmersionIn the first semester, students undertake a two weeks field immersion component that gives them an exposure to rural communities and provides them opportunities to interact with the various governmental agencies involved with implementing and monitoring education. For this, students are placed in the District Institutes of the Azim Premji Foundation. During their field visit students also get an opportunity to engage with members of the Azim Premji Foundation who are involved in educational intervention in remote districts.

Semester 2 - Field PracticeThe field practice component for the second semester is also for two weeks where the objective is to provide students with the experience of studying educational processes through a theoretical framework. This component is an integral part of Introduction to Research (ITR), a core course of the second semester and the students take up a research project around a specific educational issue. Through this research

project the students are expected to be able to

i. integrate research with their learning from other engagements in the MA (Education) programme,

ii. deepen understanding of conceptualizing and conducting research (for example, implementing research tools developed during the ITR course),

iii. develop sensitivity towards broader research issues such as ethics.

Semester 3 - Field InternshipThe longer field work component is of duration of 6 weeks at the end of semester 3.

The third semester field internship is aimed at providing students a focused opportunity to work on a specific issue/problem related to the practice of education. The work is supposed to develop capacities in students to engage meaningfully with all phases of a project from reading and planning, to implementation, analysis and reflection, and oral as well as written reporting. This is expected to help them develop a range of capabilities required for educational thinking and decision making. The field engagement work of the third semester will be linked to the students’ areas of specialization, where students have opted for a specialization. The work could take a variety of forms such as Research, Teaching, Internship and Curriculum Development.

PracticumBesides the 10 weeks of field practice, courses in the programme also have structured activities or experiences which aim to build students understanding of educational contexts, practices and concerns. The practicum experiences form part of specific courses of the programme. Students visit different types of schools, government education departments and offices, non-profit organizations and disadvantaged urban communities as part of their practicum experiences. They engage in a diverse range of activities such as observing classroom instruction, interviewing school personnel and children of different age groups, building an


understanding of overall school processes and undertaking practice teaching.

Independent StudyThe independent study is conceptualized as a minimum 3 credit course. The independent study component is structured so as to allow students the freedom to go beyond the syllabus and explore a topic of their interest, in depth.

Career OpportunitiesStudents can look forward to contributing to the education sector working with NGOs, in government and private school systems, in teacher education and also in various professional capacities as, curriculum designers, social entrepreneurs, policy specialists and researchers. Students may also work with the government on education specific projects.

I did my field work in Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand. I am happy to discover my own values and beliefs regarding bringing small difference in the lives of those who need us the most and more importantly we also need them the most because they provide meaning to our existence. Seeing happy faces of others gives me immense happiness. I learnt it very late but it happened only because of my field exposure. MA Education is incomplete without field practicums and field work and I am grateful that both theories and practical are taken care of

Kunal KumarM.A. Education, 2015 – 17 batch

Reflections from fieldThe place where I went for immersion was Tonk, which is 100 Kms away from Jaipur. We were 10 members in our group. We covered Deoli, a block in Tonk. From Deoli, we went to Chandhli, a small village which is 17 Kms away from Tonk.

My entire assumptions were broken when I saw the kids in Chandli School. For an instance, a 6 yr old girl was married and sent to school. When I encountered this question with a shock, teacher told that their parents can’t afford marriage cost for 3 girl children in their home. To avoid the marriage cost, they arranged marriage for their kids in a same stage. Child marriage, gender disparities, school drop outs are the words we came across in many readings; but immersion is the place where we encountered these in real life

Master of Arts in Development (M.A. Development)This programme aims to prepare individuals who are capable of informed and thoughtful development action and are aware of the complexity, depth and scope of the discourse of development, its ethical imperatives and its implications for policy and action with special reference to the Indian context. This requires conceptual rigour and sensibilities in students. Through this Programme, students acquire a core understanding in and across the disciplines that contribute to the domain of development and relate them to situations on the ground. These conceptual frameworks learnt are then related to dimensions of development that are targets of public action and policy such as health, education, livelihoods and sustainability. The Programme provides students with opportunities to encounter and critically engage with instances of challenging problems and attempted interventions. A graduate of the programme is expected to explore the ethical and personal dimensions of their social context to locate themselves actively within it.

M.A. Development Field Work OrientationField Practice forms an integral part of the M.A. Development programme. It helps develop a deeper understanding of the practical implications of the learning acquired through course work. The field practice allows students to reflect on their role as change agents in the development domain and build skills for development action effectively. The field practice is divided into 3 components

1. In the first semester , students go for a 2 week field immersion to a rural or urban setting for an exposure to the life and dynamics of diverse communities.

2. At the end of the second semester, students go for a 6 week field internship with an organization engaged in development action. The field internship provides students with an experience of working with development organizations and helps them understand how ideas of development are translated into practice.

3. After the third semester, students plan and design an 8 week field project with a faculty mentor and execute that project either independently or under the aegis of a development organization.

Besides these 3 components, every Wednesday in a semester is dedicated to field visit (practicum) in and around Bengaluru as part of the course learning.

Semester 1 - Field Immersion1. To observe, experience and reflect on the lived

realities of people and communities.

2. To experience the strengths and challenges of working together as a group.

3. To reflect on their personal experiences, behaviour and attitudes while engaging with different social groups and communities.

Semester 2 - Field Internship1. Develop an understanding of the nature and

role played by the particular NGO, government agency or department in development.

2. Engage in a project or field work to understand the nature of interventions, its objectives, strategy, tactics, output and possible outcomes.

3. Deepen practical knowledge of various interconnected development domains such as education, health, livelihoods, agriculture, energy, water, forests etc.

Semester 3 - Field Project1. To provide the students with an opportunity

to design a development study or action and apply the course and field practice learning in designing and implementing the project.

2. To learn from real life experience of implementing a project in a given socio-economic, political or ecological context.

Career OpportunitiesStudents can look forward to career opportunities in several government, private and non-government organizations, academia, policy think tanks, politics, corporate social responsibility departments of businesses, funding organizations and media. Our alumni from Development program are successfully contributing in the fields of livelihoods and economic development, ecology and environment, governance, health and education.

Independent StudyThe independent study is conceptualized as a 3 credit course. The independent study component is structured so as to allow students the freedom to go beyond the syllabus and explore a topic of their interest, in depth.

Elective CoursesElective courses are offered in the second year, which allow students to build strength in a domain of their choice and translate the knowledge acquired into action, more effectively. A student has to choose eight electives from any of the five domains: education, health, ecology, governance and livelihoods, in a manner that allows them to focus on a particular

An exciting range of open courses are offered every semester in different areas like Art, Cinema, Photography, Music, Dance, History, Science, Sports etc.

During summer, I was fortunate to intern with the Reserve Bank of India, Bengaluru. Placed with the Department of Cooperative Bank Supervision (DCBS), I was required to study issues relating to the dual governance of Urban Cooperative Banks (UCBs) in Bangalore. In line with my academic pursuits, the internship provided me with a brilliant opportunity to study issues at the policy level and the ground level. My interactions with RBI officers, IAS officers from the RCS office and the General Managers of a few UCBs on one hand; and with depositors from varied socio-economic backgrounds on the other - provided me with an excellent exposure to policy and ground level realities. In toto, my internship with the RBI has reaffirmed my belief in social change through institutional means and helped displace narrower definitions of development.

Nidhi HariharM.A. Development, 2015 – 17 batch

Before the commencement of our practical experience in Aavishkar we had a different opinion about the organization working process and procedure but the moment we reached destination, it completely changed! Their engagement with kids and teaching styles and methods are entirely different from the old ways of tutoring girls and was beyond our imagination. The subjects taught are mathematics and science, they don’t stop just with subject knowledge but make the girls realize importance of education for survival, and it’s about “voice”! Voice of the depressed! Voice unheard. Because of the social background of the learners, Aavishkar equips them with the emotional courage and motivates them to be bold and optimistic. My field work with this remote organization was an eye opener

Reflections from field


Masters Of Arts In Public Policy And Governance (MPG)The MPG provides a systematic critical exploration of Public Affairs in India to enable its graduates to make pragmatic and humane contributions of public value. The programme is based on an explicit recognition that Public Policy and Governance in India require meaningful interventions that contribute to institutional mandates, governance processes, and evaluation and implementation capacity. It offers courses that help to examine ideas, mechanisms, practices and outcomes that shape governance problems, provide purposive programmatic solutions and undertake critical and impactful governance research.

22

Core Courses in MPGDrawing from several social sciences, core courses adopt a heterodox approach to understand the essential values that undergird our Institutions and public affairs, resource allocation by the government and other public actors, the complexities of policy systems and programmatic delivery and the everyday experiences of engaging with the state. Students undergo rigorous methodological training to become adept at research design, survey analysis, and multivariate analysis using interpretive, causal and experimental methods.

Elective CoursesElective courses aim to deepen and widen knowledge in specific areas that are not limited to the Public Policy and Governance domains. For example, they can expose students to sectoral practices and contexts in a manner that will ease their transition into the ‘real world’. They can also choose courses that are informed by a deeper social science inquiry into questions that go beyond matters that are essentially of policy concern. Courses within the development stream in areas of global politics, health, sustainability livelihoods, education, and those focused on urban governance, land governance, environmental policy, energy security, implementation, strategic planning, legal system reform, technology and citizenship, are currently being offered as electives.

Field Engagement in MPGThe field engagement has three components that are staggered through the course of the programme so that students can apply classroom learning and appreciate policy and governance problems and solutions from the ground up. By this we mean that the field engagement is structured inductively so that students can understand these domains through first public ‘problems’ then as ‘programmes’ and finally as ‘policies’. The first engagement is a problem identification and framing exercise of a civic problem in an area of their choice. The second is a programme oriented group internship in collaboration with external agencies. The third and last engagement involves students undertaking critical policy and governance research through a fellowship mode in an organization.

Students have undertaken field work exploring urban and rural civic issues, water and sanitation governance, financial inclusion, urban and rural settlement patterns, welfare delivery, public transport, and environmental sustainability among others. Students have interned with policy research institutes, social enterprises, non-government organizations and private firms.

LL.M. in Law and Development

ObjectivesThe LL.M. in Law and Development is intended to achieve the following objectives (i) facilitate the creation of a diverse cohort of academically proficient and socially engaged scholars and practitioners of law; (ii) introduce students from law backgrounds to the context, debates and imperatives of the processes of development in India, and the significant role of legal institutions in conditioning these processes; and (iii) enable students to critically engage with the possibility and the means of using law as an agency of positive social change. The LL.M. is designed for a small cohort of students to ensure an immersive and intensive educational experience, and is designed for students who seek to make a mark in the legal system, government, civil society, academia and the world of ideas.


24

Teaching PhilosophyIn pursuance of the objective mentioned above, the LL.M. in Law and Development integrates a rigorous philosophical and conceptual analysis of legal doctrine with a social scientific enquiry into law and society in India. This LL.M. will integrate two distinct approaches to the study of law & legal institutions in India. The first is to develop a textured, empirical understanding of how law and legal institutions operate in Indian society that avoids a purely doctrinal or instrumental approach to these phenomena. The second is to develop the disposition to use the professional & academic knowledge developed through the LL.M to respond to critical problems in law and social policy. In this manner, the LL.M. in Law and Development at Azim Premji University seeks to make an intervention in post-graduate legal education in India that has the potential to build a new cohort of legal academics, scholars and practitioners who will make significant contributions to India’s development through legal education and a critical legal practice.

Curriculum OutlineThe LL.M. in Law & Development is a one year programme spread over two semesters. The programme consists of three components - core and elective courses, field engagement work and a

dissertation. Students must achieve a minimum of 36 credits spread over these three components in order to complete the programme successfully over two semesters. Students must complete the following three mandatory courses with the objective of acquiring an understanding of the law through a substantive enquiry into justice and equity as well as by gaining skills in legal research methods - Law & Justice in the Globalizing World, Research Methods & Legal Writing, and Comparative Public Law/ Systems of Governance. In addition, students must complete a core course on Law and Development in order to gain an interdisciplinary understanding of the law. Students are expected to complete three elective courses over two semesters. A wide range of elective courses that intersect the domain of law and other related areas such as anthropology, ecology, education and political philosophy are available for students to develop their areas of academic interests. All students will participate in a year-long field engagement programme that will expose them to an experiential understanding of law and society. The students are also required to write a dissertation that will help them develop their skills and confidence in conducting more advanced or independent research such as a doctoral degree or conceptualizing an independent research project, or make an informed social intervention.


Placements OverviewCentral to realizing our vision is to see our students engaged with the social sector after they graduate. The Placement cell at the University comprising students and faculty mentors work on this aspect. For the fourth year running, the University has had very healthy placements.

In the last four batches, more than 700 students have graduated. It is heartening that over 70% of these students chose to work in the social sector (with NGO’s, schools and other organizations) and among them more than 80% opted for work at the grassroots in rural areas and small towns, where their competency is most needed. Reflective of the purpose of the University, students have consciously chosen work, that they believe, fulfils their aspiration of contributing meaningfully to social change on the ground.

The University has a Placement cell where students play the lead role. The cell is guided by faculty and members of the Foundation across the country and has a dedicated support team for efficient administration.

Placement support is provided to all students for career opportunities in government, industry, NGOs, multi-lateral agencies and other organizations that work in Education and Development sector.

For purposes of better planning and facilitation of interested recruiters on campus, the placement process is divided into two parts:

1. Registration Organizations who are interested in meeting our students with the view of recruiting them should register themselves by filling up the details required on the Placement form and send it to our placement office by December 15, 2016.

Subsequently, we will identify mutually convenient dates for pre-placement talks (PPT) and other recruitment processes on priority.

2. Pre-placement talk and subsequent recruitment process

A. Participating organizations will be given specific dates for pre-placement talks and recruitment process on mutually convenient dates.

B. Participating organizations are encouraged to provide clear details of the role, location and salary to the University/students, in the registration form and during the pre-placement talks and interviews. This would help the students in making informed choices and hence

reduce drop outs after an offer is made.

The recruitment process would be organized on the Azim Premji University campus at Pixel Park, B Block, PES Institute of Technology Campus, Electronic City, Hosur Road (Beside NICE Road), Bangalore - 560 100.

Guidelines for participating organizationsA. The recruitment process will commence from

i. Roles available within the organization with corresponding job descriptions, salary and location.

ii. Nature of the selection processes, tests, stages and the tentative time duration that would be required to conduct the whole process.

iii. Information on the recruitment team that would be visiting Azim Premji University campus (number and composition).

iv. Any special requirements that need facilitation for smooth running of this process.

C. The list of selected students has to be confirmed within 24 hrs. of completion of the campus interviews. To facilitate this, it is preferable that key decision makers are part of the campus recruitment process. This will facilitate faster decision making.

D. In the interests of providing equitable opportunity to all students and create a fair recruitment environment for organizations, the recruitment process will be as follows:

Guidelines for Organizations Participating in the Placement Process


i. On receiving a job offer, a student has 12 hours to decide whether to accept or regret.

ii. On acceptance of the offer, the student will be out of the placement process.

iii. In case the student does not wish to take up the offer, this can be open to wait-listed students.

iv. Students will not be allowed to appear for interviews with other organizations until he/she takes a decision on the offer in hand.

v. Prior to the start of the placement process, students are requested to share three organizations of their preference based on their interest. On receiving an offer from an organization of their preference, the student will drop out of placements, irrespective of their decision to accept or regret.

vi. Only those students who have regretted their first offer from organizations that are not preferred by them, would be eligible to appear for other interviews with organizations of their preference, after permission (on email)from the Placement cell.

4. Kindly note• Any communication regarding placements
