I don't even say development management knowledge is to be reserved to only one sector but everybody in the space of human development and societal progress must know and understand this. That’s how development management oriented capacity building solutions can cater to state, market and society.

ISDM’s recent efforts at promoting development management among mid-career professionals are laudable. Orienting managers to the complexities of the sector and realigning their skills to better serve the interests of disadvantaged communities can contribute significantly to accelerating India’s development.
