How social sciences broadened my idea about the society

Being an engineering graduate and having a year experience in telecom field, usually one would have stick into the booming telecom field. But coming to Tata Institute of Social Sciences for Master in Habitat Policy and Practices at School of Habitat Studies really broaden my horizon behind engineering field. It gave me courage , zeal, strength and aspiration to work for the society. When I compare telecom field with that of Habitat Studies I find telecom field is very narrow which cannot contribute anything to the society rather then exploitation. Social sector is a galaxy where as telecom sector is a invisible portion of an area in the earth.I would like to share about the Habitat studies regarding its vastness and the opportunities to contribute to the development of a nation in an equitable manner where equality and equity are considered to be the utmost priority.
Urban centres in India are growing at a faster rate. Similarly urban poverty is also increasing at the similar rate. But very few have ever realised this trajectory. In order to address this trajectory one has to understand the minute details about the policy and should have practical knowledge. Habitat School is only school in India which provide the opportunity to become a habitat profession and understand the urban problem. To me this course has given me the opportunity to work with all the section of the people in the society. It gave me the opportunity to become expertise in Policy, environment, solid waste management, livelihood and the planning of cities. I feel myself very much lucky to have been selected in TISS for this prestigious , best and the unique program in India.
I would also like to share my experience about the faculties of the school. The school have its highly qualified faculty, with diverse disciplinary backgrounds. The faculty members of the School, possess expertise in a wide range of disciplines, including physics, engineering, social work, sociology, public policies, finance,
governance, regional development, political sciences. Their current research interests also cover a wide range of themes: water sector reform and regulation, sustainable development discourse, sustainable livelihoods, affordable housing, livelihoods options for urban poor, climate change policies, innovation policies, reform in urban finance sector, rural–urban water transfers, urban governance, urban and regional planning,
public–private and state–civil society partnerships in infrastructure, urban environmental policy.

Being a first batch of this School I feel previlaged to be part of this program. The final year semester is coming to end very soon and many company would be coming for recruiting these professional. I would be happy if I get selected in an organisation that work in infrastructure sector. My preference will be working in water sector though I am also open to housing and solid waste management sector. I am also open to any organisation who will provide me a handsome salary and a better profile. Only for certain extent I need handsome salary. Once i will have enough then salary will not be an issue for me. My preference will be working for the people for making the country a sustainably a developed country so that the future generation dont have to struggle as the present generation are struggling.
