Post Graduate Diploma in Urban Environmental Management & Law
Whether in the visible strands of urban life, like deteriorating infrastructure and housing, or the invisible heartache of poverty and deprivation, it is the urban administrator who faces the most difficult task today. The local body is responsible for delivering some semblance of a decent life to its citizens even against a million odds.
Therefore, strengthening the delivery capacity of urban administrators and elected representatives is crucial for harmonious civil and environmental governance. One of the best ways to tackle this situation is to strengthen the human resource pool by creating efficient urban managers.
In this context, the Centre for Environmental Law (CEL), WWF-India has initiated a one-year academic programme titled ‘Post Graduate Diploma in Urban Environmental Management’.
