The Field Terms include 2 weeks of structured field immersion in a district in India called Realising India, 7 weeks of residency with a partner organization to work on real development sector organization problems.

The curriculum is divided into three broad phases –

• Context to Mission
• Mission to Organization
• Organization to Impact.

The first phase sets the context to the development sector. Students are exposed to various perspectives on development and also gain a good understanding of the environment within which the development organizations operate – social, political, historical, economic, etc. The next phase is focused on the development of capabilities of students on various aspects of organizational functioning in the development sector. To be able to achieve their goals and visions, organizations need to become more mindful and systematic about every aspect of their organization’s functioning – mission, resources, people, processes, structures, learning etc. The final phase focuses on using the knowledge and appreciation of working across key functions of the organization to have better impact, scalability and sustainability of development organizations.
