NIRDPR offers both a 1 year PG Diploma course in Rural Development (RD) and a 2 year PGDM RD Course (from 2018).
Since it is a rural Development programme, the major focus of this course lies in reaching out and benefitting the rural regions.
The students of NIRD are hired as youth professionals in various such initiatives for a minimum of 2 years, that can be extended based on working performance.
These institutions provide a salary ranging between INR 33,000 - 45,000 per month, depending on location of job.
After 2 years, students are equipped with a real time perspective that qualifies them to grow in the development sector by climbing up the managerial ladder in government as well as private sector initiatives like CSR, Non Profit Organisations, etc.
The course offers experience of grass root reality in rural areas through field exposure visits and internships. These will boost your resume. The tag of being part of the NIRDPR, helps with career prospects. It is suggested that you opt for the two year course, as it is less hectic and provides learning with an unbiased perspective.
The program is PG Diploma in Rural Development and Management, not PGDM. This course is good in terms of ROI, facilities, co-curricular activities, etc. The course structure also includes a difficult pre-course. This pre-course will take almost one month. At NIRDPR placement scenario is quite good. Recruiters like Quess, HCL, HSRLM, etc. visit the placement drive.
If you already have a master's degree and want to get into the development sector, then pursuing the one-year-long PGDRDM is a better option. It is more practical oriented. But if you are a graduate and want to build a strong academic profile before joining this sector, then choosing the 2-year long course is better. It is an AICTE approved program. However, both courses require you to have a bachelor's degree.
The full form of NIRDPR is National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj. NIRDPR Hyderabad runs under the Union Ministry of Rural Development.
