EDUCATION

TSIRD brings multi-disciplinary integrated educational courses in Rural development, which are designed drawing insights from our extensive experience of over 54 years in handling varied issues related to rural development.

The aim of all our courses is to develop a critical appreciation of the concept of sustainable development in the rural environment and an understanding of related social sciences. The courses also seek to develop a knowledge and understanding of rural policy making and management approaches to promoting more sustainable rural environments and lifestyles.

A core component of TSIRD courses is comprehensive and ongoing hands-on training. Our approach helps students/participants become well-rounded, development-minded individuals who understand grassroots community development and capacity building, with skills to design and implement sustainable projects with effective tools and methods.
