Graduate Programs |
CCS provides a host of activities in which graduates of seminars and interns can participate to continue the engagement with CCS! If you are graduate of a CCS program, you can participate in any of the following activities:
|
|
The graduates of CCS programs form or join groups called Friends of Freedom in their cities all over India for a better understanding of public policy issues in relation to self and society and for actively campaigning on issues of concern in their local communities. FoF is about the change in the members themselves and the change through them in the community. We have currently 10 groups across India in Ranchi, Chennai, Amritsar, Changanessary, Goa, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Guwahati, Pune, and Delhi.

To continue to provide a different platform to express and communicate the learnings, thoughts and feelings of the graduates in peer environment, we publish a quarterly e-newsletter, called eCatalyst. They share their views on issues and events, experiences at workshops and programs, achievements, books or websites of interest to others and any forthcoming opportunities. The eCatalyst is compiled and edited by the graduates themselves.

To motivate graduates to stay on the learning curve, CCS organises a competition to demonstrate their understanding and real life implementation of the ideas discussed at the programs is organised. Entries for the competition range from an essay, a diary entry, a narrative on a field visit, an article on the program or the ideas or independent research work done on specific issues. Prizes given to the best entries include cash prizes and sponsorship to a student among the winners to attend a seminar organised by similar think-tanks in the USA.
