Worried about climate change and environment degradation?

Join us to become a part of the solution

In a world where environmental challenges are more pressing than ever, your passion for making a difference truly matters.

If you're eager to dive into the realm of sustainability and want to equip yourself with the knowledge and skills necessary to make a real impact, we have just the opportunity for you.

Join us for our 10-month Post-Graduate Program on 'Sustainable Management of Natural Resources & Nature Conservation'! This program is designed not just to educate, but to empower you to become a champion for our planet. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together!

The program is available in the offline as well as online self-paced mode. While admissions to the offline course have closed, you still have the opportunity to gain the same knowledge, insights and wisdom from our experience faculty in the online mode with the luxury of learning at your own pace, which we rightly called the self-paced mode.

Flexibility with Self-Paced Learning

Understanding that not everyone can commit to a regular class schedule, we offer a self-paced option for this program. This format is ideal for individuals who may face constraints in terms of location or time.

Here are some benefits of the self-paced course:

1. Study at Your Own Convenience: Access course materials and videos on your schedule.

2. Interactive Learning: Participants can submit questions to be addressed during monthly hangout sessions with faculty, promoting an engaging learning environment.

3. Real-Time Experiences: Review recorded lectures and gain insights into various ecological topics whenever and wherever you choose.

How the Self-Paced Course Works?

Every week, participants will receive two session videos that remain accessible for 15 days, along with supplementary self-study materials. You can create questions and send them to the course coordinator for discussion in the next hangout session.

Furthermore, a dedicated WhatsApp group facilitates quick interactions between peers and faculty, enhancing the collaborative learning experience.
