The School of Development Studies seeks to address the challenges of sustainable development in the face of persisting poverty in specific geographies, widening inequalities, new dynamics and interdependencies between ‘rural’ and ‘urban’, political and xenophobic conflict, and irreversible climate change. Of special focus for the School are the challenges of understanding the dynamics unleashed by India’s adoption of policies of economic liberalization, macro shifts associated with the advent of globalization that have resulted in multiple disruptions wherein substantive meaning of democracy, good governance, political freedom, pluralism and humanism remain fiercely contested subjects in today's world.

Within the IIHMR University the School of Development Studies is committed to develop a robust culture of inter disciplinary reflection and inquiry by engaging with multiple disciplines, their exclusivities and overlaps in constituting the complex field of ‘development’.

Through its research and teaching activities, the SDS seeks to engage with dynamic realities to deepen the understanding of these issues, and develop grounded and meaningful responses for better policy formulation and effective program delivery to foster the health and well-being of humanity at large.
