The launch of admissions process was announced by the PGP-DM Chairperson Prof. Rukaiya Joshi under whose leadership the programme was launched in November 2011.
In a short span of over four years, the PGP-DM has grown and established itself as one of the most innovative programmes at SPJIMR, a top 10 school of management that is noted for its innovative pedagogy and its sharp focus on value-based growth.
The announcement of the upcoming 10th batch marks an important milestone for a programme that began small and quickly came into prominence just as businesses were gearing up to meet their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals.
At a time when businesses are increasingly looking for CSR professionals, the programme has stood out as an initiative that helps build capacities, drives new ideas and helps integrate CSR arms more closely with the core business.
The programme also works to create a pool of professionals in the NGO/development sector who can influence public policy, CSR approaches and sustainability initiatives of businesses and various other sections of society.
Prof. Rukaiya Joshi, SPJIMR, said, "The development sector is growing fast in India. The PGP-DM is the only management programme from a premier Institute that caters to the needs of people in the this sector, which will play a key role in helping India deliver on the promise of inclusive growth."
"People working for the development sector need to be equipped with the right management tools and processes that can go a long way in creating a greater social impact. This is what the PGP-DM helps deliver," she added.
SPJIMR's PGP-DM programme already boasts an alumni base of over 200, a group of individuals who are fired by the idea of service to society and equipped with the right managerial tools to work on a par with senior management teams in businesses and institutions.
SPJIMR's PGP-DM alumni come from across 75 organisations. Among them are businesses or the CSR Foundations like the Lupin Foundation, Aditya Birla Group, BPCL, Excel Industries and NGOs such as WWF India, Habitat for Humanity India, Alert-India, and Magic Bus etc.
The PGP-DM programme is an 18-month journey covered over three semesters, which are offered over nine contacts of one week each. Contacts are scheduled every two months. The PGP-DM Batch 10 commences May 2, 2016.
