Overview
Tata-Dhan Academy, established in 1997 near Madurai in Theni district, Tamil Nadu, was founded through a partnership between the Tata Trusts and the DHAN Foundation to train development professionals for grassroots poverty-alleviation and livelihoods work across India.
The academy’s Postgraduate Diploma in Development Management combines classroom study with an extended field-based apprenticeship in partner NGOs and community organizations, producing graduates who largely work in the development and social sector rather than corporate roles.
Admission is through the academy’s own selection process, based on graduation marks and a strong orientation toward development-sector careers, followed by interview. Sign up free to see fees by quota, closing ranks and placement data.
