FEATURED COURSES
CITIES MATTER
Understanding How Indian Cites Work
What makes a city great? And What makes it terrible? What does YOUR city do for you, and what can YOU do to make it better?
Our Founder and Director, Manvita Baradi first conceived of this course in 2005. It has subsequently been run in many forms and with different pedagogies, including at CEPT university and recently at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) as part of the 96th Foundation Program.
