ISDM’s philosophy is to constantly evolve, grow and conceptualise together, by learning from each other. Teaching and learning are not mutually exclusive - they go hand in hand. Collaboration is at the core of learning at ISDM. Students are exposed to varied sectoral perspectives, and to activities like fish bowl, debate and HOT conversations (Honest, Open and Transparent). Open and honest discussion and dialogue are encouraged, along with problem-based learning, group work and peer to peer learning. Student-led committees at ISDM form the intertwining thread in the lives of ISDM students.

A student from the social work courses - Tenzin Chorran from Post-Graduate Program in Development Management at ISDM's. During the rural immersion part of the program called 'Realising India', she visited a village in Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, where she was appalled by the situation of women in rural hinterlands. Rural Immersion is a critical component of ISDM's PGP-DM program. Our batch was divided into groups and sent to different districts to understand the ground realities of societies and institutions. Along with my group, I went to Sehore for two weeks.
From a very early age, we are taught to break problems apart to study and decipher the world around us. The conventional thinking on complexity and chaos steers our minds towards parts and elements involved in the system and fosters a loss of rumination concerning linkages and influences within and between the components, and the system. It is understandably difficult when we consider that the interactions within and outside the system are constantly changing. Systems thinking is a discipline that can be used to throw light on the invisible factors governing the behavior of a system.
Previously, I had written about the concept of ‘agency’ (the capacity of individuals to act autonomously and to make their own free, informed choices and decisions about things that concern them) and its integral importance to the work done within the social development sector. To be human, to live a life of dignity with the freedoms that are guaranteed to us, we need to be able to exercise ‘agency’.
