NIRD- PGDRDM course is entirely focused on rural development and aspects related to it. Since rural development is related to government interest therfore the growth and career opportunities are multiple.

Yes it provides decent placements and one can expect a package on an average of approx 4 lakhs per year. This also depends upon your calibre and skills. There is stability in this field but yes initial struggle can be there but in long term stability terms are good.

There are internships and field visits to rural areas as well. This will enhance your skills and ultimately experience in your domain.

Good luck.
