These specialized professionals can possibly grow by leaps and bounds
Some specialized courses including Master's Degree in Interior Decoration, Sustainable Development and Economics, Low Cost Housing Architecture, Organic Farming and Event Management etc., seems to be the future in terms of explosive growth. As such, we have very few courses in an areas like Event Management. Similarly conducting huge events like the International Chess Tournament, the massive International Conferences and so on, offer huge scope for learning and development.The syllabus for such courses offers too much innovation. For example, while millions were sold on the trickledown theory of development, the negative side of this sort of development where the rich grow richer and the poor even poorer has now been highlighted as a major problem that haunts planners.
Given these realities, it becomes imperative that such courses cover everything-- housing, sanitation, water management, environment protection, and so on. Only such comprehensive learning, based on sustainable development practices can offer new lessons for those who are already doing good work.
The UGC needs new innovative thinking to open up new graduate and post graduate courses in this regard. We could even have collaboration with foreign universities, wherever applicable.
