During this intensive course, participants will explore the complexities underlying the environment-development debate in India.
They will have lectures, readings, presentations, and debates. Participants will also get time to read, report, watch films and review them, attend seminars, and interact with guest speakers, eminent activists and policy makers. As part of their assignment, participants will put together an online documentary project, using text, video and audio. They will also make a magazine. And some will go be given teaching assignments in school.
Course instructors are drawn from Centre for Science and Environment’s (CSE’s) research and programme teams.
The course is inspired by a concern that animated the work of eminent environmentalist Anil Agarwal, whose ideas on environment and sustainability remain relevant even today: the need to balance economic growth and ecological concern. He called it ‘the challenge of the balance’.
