GRAAM

Academic Programs

Over the past few years, GRAAM has evolved from a Research and Advocacy initiative into a Capacity Building hub in critical areas such as Research, Evaluation, Public Policy, and Program Evaluation. A key highlight of GRAAM’s academic endeavors is the Public Policy and Program Evaluation (3PE) workshop, a two-week full-time, in-person program conducted in collaboration with Cornell University, USA. This program equips participants with essential skills in public policy analysis and program evaluation, fostering a global perspective. Additionally, GRAAM’s International Public Policy (IPP) program, focused on nurturing general public policy aspirants from around the globe, is organized in partnership with the Indian Institute of Development Leadership (IIDL) under the aegis of Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini (RMP), Mumbai. GRAAM also serves as a learning platform for postgraduates and research scholars pursuing development studies, offering internships and hands-on experience. Every year, GRAAM receives numerous applications for internships from across the globe, including prestigious institutions such as Cornell University, the University of Iowa, and renowned Indian institutions like IITs, IIMs, TISS, SPJIMR, NMIMS, Manipal University, OP Jindal University, and other leading management and social sector institutes.
