This course commences with an attempt to build a conceptual foundation of development; to solidify the foundation, it is followed by a discussion of environmental studies to cover the underlying concepts, science and resources of development/economy. It then covers various sustainable issues and solutions. Obviously the course ends with a discussion of our responsibilities. As a part of their active (experiential) learning, the students will participate in fieldwork. For their self-development, the students are offered one or more of the following options:(i) a class on writing method on major assignment/essay/report; (ii) a workshop on digital photography for development (that starts with basics of photography); (iii) a workshop on (class) presentation for development; (iv) a workshop on some advanced MS Office skills (Word, PowerPoint).
