SPJIMR revamps its PGPDM curriculum and programme to create greater impact in the social sector
SPJIMR has revamped its Post Graduate Programme in Development Management to better align with modern social sector needs. The updated curriculum now emphasizes ESG, AI for development, social entrepreneurship, and public policy.
Why it matters
As the social sector shifts toward measurable outcomes and cross-sector collaboration, academic institutions are evolving to train leaders capable of managing complex development challenges.
MUMBAI, India, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- India's social sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Traditional charity-led models are giving way to rights-based development frameworks that are increasingly driven by measurable outcomes, systems thinking, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration. The growing influence of social entrepreneurship, impact investing, ESG frameworks, public-private partnerships, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) mandates is reshaping how social impact is conceived, funded, and delivered.
Recognising these shifts, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR) has revamped its Post Graduate Programme in Development Management (PGPDM) and opened applications for Batch 28 commencing in February 2027.
