ISAC's Rural and Grassroots Development Programs: Social development and an overview of rural community development programs in India.

 

70% of India resides in its villages and ISAC's programs are a unique opportunity to experience rural life first hand. ISAC's social development programs are designed keeping in mind our philosophy of immersion, learning and meaningful exchange. These programs have been designed by development professionals and are an opportunity to work with organizations that are at the forefront of social change in India. Participants gain an understanding of the growing Indian social sector while being immersed in the social and cultural ethos of India. 

Here is a quick overview of our social development programs in India:

 

1. Grassroots Community Development

 

Here's your chance to observe, learn and participate in social change. ISAC's Grassroots Community Development program gives you the opportunity to understand various developmental models and strategies devised by pioneering social workers and to engage with diverse communities.

 

Why you should apply: Engage with the social sector and the diverse communities served by it and gain an understanding and appreciation of their social/cultural/economic situation. Live in the heart of the real India and gain a truly immersive experience and interact with visionaries that are driving social change in India. Contribute your skills and effort to various areas of poverty alleviation, health, women's empowerment, micro-credit, community development, child sponsorship, HIV / AIDS interventions and awareness programs, education and teaching programs. 


2Rural Life  

 

Where else would you get the chance to live like an Indian farmer and experience village life? This program has been specifically designed to give participants an immersive grassroots level experience of rural India, to learn about the aspirations and dreams of India's village communities, experience the opportunities and challenges faced by them and learn about sustainable development.

 

What's in it for you: Gain a deep understanding of village communities and lifestyles and connect with the next generation of rural India. Witness the change and learn about the challenges of development (governmental & non-governmental) projects and their impacts. Visit ancient temples, perform domestic tasks in a village home and even shake a leg with the endogenous communities while living right in the heart of rural India!

 


3. Teach Rural Children  

 

This program is a great chance to witness education models that are gradually transforming India. Live and work in rural areas teaching English, Math, Science, Art, Craft, Music or Social Sciences in village schools. Participants can also work with rural teachers on various creative learning techniques to improve learning outcomes among rural students.

 

How you can make a difference: Give back to communities and experience your direct impact on their future by developing innovative learning techniques. Arrange events, camps and picnics to supplement educational activities. Boost learning levels while benefitting immensely as a future teacher / educationist because of the challenging conditions of the placements. Those with an interest in serving children with special needs can also gain valuable experience. Participants are placed in local schools, orphanages, rural schools or schools for children with special needs.
