HOD’s Desk
Department of Development Studies started its journey in 2011 as Development Management. In the year 2022 the Department nomenclature changed to Development Studies. The growth of expertise in the department is commendable. Students are trained to become top development professionals such as CSR project managers, research analysts and entrepreneurs in their own innovative ways. Students are motivated to attend the presentations, workshops, and seminars necessary to maintain their skills. We firmly believe in our ability to succeed and maintain an attitude of self-reliance, confidence, commitment and responsibility to the country we are meant to serve.. We are having hard-working , young and dynamic faculty, whose expertise in diverse disciplines and a very healthy work-culture in the department.
I am confident that the students of the department would justify the credibility of the department by showing a high level of professional competence in their respective field.
