Urban Management Centre has over 2 decades of expertise in capacity building for the development sector, and for urban professionals. We have also pioneered e-learning, as well as experiential and project-based learning for governments. Our team has created courses adopted by the Government of India, and regularly teach at premier academic institutions. We help build a better understanding of urban areas and their dynamics, unravel the legal, civic, and administrative frameworks within which they operate, and facilitate an interdisciplinary understanding of design, construction, and management processes.
WE CREATE PROFESSIONALS THAT CREATE BETTER LIVES FOR EVERYONE
Our Other E-Learning Initiatives
To facilitate the capacity building of government officials, Urban Management Centre developed the Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) e-learning portal. The platform was created in 2015 to function as an active source for civic officials at various levels of governance to understand best sanitation practices.
The platform consists of films accompanied by reference material and a quiz at the end to test their learning. Participants in the module develop an in-depth understanding of the sanitation issues and solutions to the challenges that professionals in this field must tackle.
The Urban Livelihoods e-Learning and Resource Network (U-LEARN), is a first of its kind online e-learning portal developed by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and Urban Management Centre. The e-learning portal is available on the web as well as a mobile application with a multi-language supported interface.
The application targets to benefit the urban poor, marginalized communities, and support the DAY-NULM workforce who are on the field most of the time.
U-LEARN is a one-stop place to refer to guidelines, advisories, and case studies on DAY-NULM. Users can access learning content in the form of videos, case studies on leading practices, and other reference documents and materials.
