“To overcome poverty and the flaws of
the economic crisis in our society, we
need to envision our social life. We
have to free our mind, imagine what
has never happened before and write
social fiction. We need to imagine
things to make them happen. If you
don't imagine, it will never happen.”
Fostering Talent, Priming Leaders of Tomorrow
India is taking its journey from poverty to plenty, from
tradition to modernity and this growth is a very intriguing
experience. The rise of the middle class in India is also quite
remarkable. The expansion of its services sector, especially
the phenomenal growth of IT sector, has delivered higher
growth to the economy and robust incomes in the hands
of middle class society. Amidst this, there is another India
that lies in its bottommost, looking up for support and a
hand, to be part of India's growth story. The skills required
to bring solutions to the problems faced by ‘bottom of the
Pyramid’ are different. And EDI students of Post Graduate Diploma in Management –
Development Studies are prepared as professionally competent development intermediaries
and socially responsible individuals to work at the grassroots, at the policy-level, undertaking
research, designing CSR programmes and implementing projects.
Several years of teaching, research and training experience of the faculty at EDI has led to
making the programme theoretically rigorous, empirically grounded and multi-disciplinary in
orientation. EDI transfers its rich experience and expertise of Micro Enterprise Development,
Microfinance and Livelihood Promotion, to the students. EDI is also a Member of Livelihoods,
MANTHAN Consortium, that enables students undertake internship with State Rural
Livelihood Missions under NRLM. Similarly, all students go through their 2 month long
internship which prepares them to understand local issues, problem identification and seeking
innovative solutions through community participation.
PGDM-DS is a comprehensive programme and offers learning about development process
through seminar courses, field work, colloquiums, workshops and field-based training. The
graduating students can successfully enter professional careers in civil society organisations,
non-governmental organisations, international multilateral agencies, like; UNDP, ILO, socially
responsive corporates, or channelize their entrepreneurial spirit by setting up social enterprises
and businesses.
I wish students all the best in their future life and ensure organisations participating in EDI
Placements & Internships, that they will find rich resource in our students with professional
competence for social change and entrepreneurial capabilities.
Good wishes

consultants, extension workers, trainer motivators and a large section of visiting faculty from
academic institutions and professional organizations.
EDI offers academic opportunities that are intellectually rigorous and extraordinarily diverse.
Three decades of pioneering work has elicited national and international recognition from such
organizations like World Bank, International Labour Organization, UNIDO, Commonwealth
Secretariat and several other agencies. EDI is one of the panel institutes for Ministry of External

The PGDM-DS offers you a wide range of options with students and graduates at all levels of
experience, from fresh graduates and post graduates to seasoned alumni. The campus recruitment
program facilitates connecting the aspirations of professionally trained graduating students. It prepares
students with career counselling, structural personality, development program and pre-placement

and Skype Calls for student interaction. The participating organisations will be invited for campus
interviews at EDI on mutually convenient date from 15th December, 2014 to 31st March, 2015. The
participating organisations should send their representative with full authority to make final job offers,
immediately after the interviews. It will be our privilege to host the representatives of the recruiting
organisations and provide all necessary assistance to make their stay comfortable on our campus. We

CAMPUS RECRUITMENT RESPONSE CARDTHE PLACEMENT PROCESS
The PGDM-DS offers you a wide range of options with students and graduates at all levels of
experience, from fresh graduates and post graduates to seasoned alumni. The campus recruitment
program facilitates connecting the aspirations of professionally trained graduating students. It prepares
students with career counselling, structural personality, development program and pre-placement
orientation.
Our dedicated placement staff will help organisations implement recruiting strategies for an optimum
match of professional talent and organisation needs.
The placement office will keep the students informed about job announcements as and when they are
received. Afterwards, the employers may carefully scrutinise the profile of the students and prepare a
list of students they would like to interview.
It will be preferable, but not obligatory, for the organisations to send their representatives to EDI to
meet the graduating batch. We encourage participating organisations to take telephonic interviews
and Skype Calls for student interaction. The participating organisations will be invited for campus
interviews at EDI on mutually convenient date from 15th December, 2014 to 31st March, 2015. The
participating organisations should send their representative with full authority to make final job offers,
immediately after the interviews. It will be our privilege to host the representatives of the recruiting
organisations and provide all necessary assistance to make their stay comfortable on our campus. We
will be glad to extend transport facility from Ahmedabad airport / railway station to the campus, if
required.

The Gujarat
Ahmedabad is the largest city in the state of Gujarat and one of the largest urban agglomerations in India. Located on the
banks of the River Sabarmati, the city is the administrative centre of Ahmedabad district and was the capital of Gujarat
from 1960 to 1970; the capital was shifted to Gandhinagar thereafter. In colloquial Gujarati, it is commonly called
Amdavad. Ahmedabad was founded in 1411 by Sultan Ahmed Shah to serve as the capital of the Sultanate of Gujarat. The city is named after its founder.
The city established itself as the home of a booming textile industry, which earned it the nickname "the Manchester of the East." A rising centre of
education, information technology and scientific industries, Ahmedabad remains the cultural and commercial heart of Gujarat and much of western
India.
