The generosity of the people is often very apparent to visitors of India. However, the unique learning opportunities of the
INDIA Winterim course are only possible through the extraordinary contributions, understanding, and support of all of our collaborators and sponsors.
Aravind Eye Care Systems, a social organisation committed to the goal of elimination of needless blindness through comprehensive eye care services and Gates Award Winner for Global Health
Meenakshi Mission Hospital & Research Centre, a premier, regional health care provider and receiver of the social responsibility initiative of 2007 by the GE Modern Medical Award
Gandhigram Rural University, a nationally and internationally recognised institute for its contribution to rural education and research
Foundation for Research and Sustainable Development, GREEN, and many more.
Our partners in India make the educational experience possible. Insight into the local culture, geography, and problems are all integral components of the course.
The opportunities for students to work one-on-one with collaborators with years of experience in the field and in solving problems provides unique experiences rarely available in other learning situations.
Studying in a new culture and environment can be daunting. Opportunities for students to work one-on-one with collaborators and leading organizations not only provide real world examples, but also significantly lowers many of the barriers to experiencing the culture, people and place.
These grass-root experiences are really one of a kind.
