Urban Management Module for IAS Probationers at the Acadamy  
     
 
The Urban Management Module for IAS probationers is aimed at sensitizing young trainees to innovative approaches that have the potential to improve the quality of urban management, such as strategic planning, participatory decision-making, municipal financing, and public-private-community-partnerships in services delivery etc. These trainers in the early part of their career will assume the role of city managers and play a significant role in initiating urban sector reforms
 
The programme has three core objectives:
  • To provide a broader, more holistic perspective on the range of issues confronting Indian cities and to explore new approaches to address these issues;
 
 
  • To sensitize the trainee officers on important issues of urban management including concerns relating to urban traffic.
  • To familiarize the young officers with the social, legal and institutional dimensions of the urban system and its impact on law and order, traffic management and other aspects with which the officers will be concerned in the coming years.
