Participants Completed Courses

The courses have grown exponentially over the last decade. Specifically, since 2018, we have seen more than 2000 students successfully graduate from our two PGD courses.

Most of the participants are either directly or indirectly contributing to the conservation sector.

It is our endeavour to accept applications from students from varied backgrounds in order to promote a more holistic learning environment by bringing together different people who can add to the scope of the course.

Our student body is incredibly diverse, including individuals from various backgrounds, such as corporate employees from companies like PWC, TATA, HCL, Larsen & Turbo, and Deloitte. We also have students who are lawyers, architects, professors, and defence personnel. Our community consists of undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students, as well as government officials from sectors like MoEF&CC, Ministry of Urban Development, Ministry of Agriculture, IFS, IAS Officers, and other bodies, such as State and Pollution Control Boards, and more. Our student body also includes esteemed CSOs, such as UNDP, UNHCR, WWF, TERI, CSE, and others. Additionally, individuals in the environment sector, such as environmental engineers, environment managers, consultants, and EIA agents, are also part of our student community.
