have at least one appointed actuary while the general

insures can meet their actuarial needs with the help

of consultants.

This course is designed keeping in view the increasing

demand for actuarial economists. Hence, it is designed

essentially to deal with the education of economics

of insurance, insurance risk, and financial

management. In the process, the course draws inputs

from mathematical, statistical and economic analyses

involving a wide range of decision-making process

in insurance, investment, and financial planning and

management.

Being designed to equip the learners with the

underlying processes of decision-making under

uncertainty, this programme seeks to offer in the

first year, comprising two semesters, an intensive

training in understanding economic and financial

theories, which are useful to study the uncertain

future events in the third and the fourth semesters

of the second year the students can opt for elective

courses from a number of choices. In addition, it

provides a valuable opportunity to the students to

(i) equip their computation skills by learning

econometric applications using software (such as

EVIEWS and STATA) and (ii) undertake a project work

in the final semester to encourage active learning

in a real life situation.

A Brief Note on the Concept of the Programme

One of the most significant developments in recent

years has been the privatization and large-scale

expansion of insurance industry, which has led to an

increased demand for actuaries. The Insurance

Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) mandates

that life insurance companies must have at least one

appointed actuary while the general insurers can

meet their actuarial needs with the help of consultants.

There is enough scope for actuarial economists to

operate in the emerging segment of the insurance

industry.

Social Relevance of the Programme

Providing necessary training needed for an expert in

actuarial field capable of analyzing the financial

consequences of risk has a socially useful role. The

work profile of a professional in the area includes

(i) research and training, (ii) designing insurance and

pension plans, (iii) determining insurance pricing,

(iv) asset-liability management etc.

M.Sc. Applied Quantitative Finance

Internship / Traineeship: Minimum of three weeksbetween II and III Semesters.

3.7 SCHOOL OF GENDER ANDDEVELOPMENT STUDIES

This School established in 2007, aims at achievinggender justice and equity through developing andlaunching programmes in the area of Gender andDevelopment Studies and Women’s and Gender studies.The School examines the existing gender gap andaddresses the issue of gender disparity, with theobjectives of strengthening individual and institutionalefforts that enable women’s empowerment. TheSchool of Gender and Development Studies analyzesand supports human, social, cultural and economicdevelopment to bring about gender equity and socialjustice.

The activities proposed for the School include:

designing and developing academic programmesand courses at doctoral, post graduate,undergraduate and awareness levels;

conducting research and developing appropriateresearch methodology; and

formulating and implementing trainingprogrammes.

Programmes are being developed under two broadstreams: Gender and Development Studies andWomen’s and Gender Studies. Other focal areaswithin these broad streams include law, science,agriculture and cinema among others.

Attainment of a fair and equal society through analtered model of development through knowledgecreation, knowledge dissemination, research, trainingand sensitization and advocacy; is what this Schoolenvisions itself to have been constituted for andwishes to pursue through its courses and variousother intellectual activities. The School envisions itsfuture with great expectations and is committed toworking towards its fulfillment of the attainment ofan equitable society where all gender segments getfull opportunity to realize their aspirations of self-development.

The School envisages major initiatives in research,teaching, training and advocacy in the areas ofgender and women’s studies.

Master of Arts in Gender andDevelopment Studies [MA (GD)] [On-Campus and ODL modes]

In July 2010 the MA programme in Gender andDevelopment Studies has been launched in the ODLmode. It is already on offer in the on-campus, full-time mode through classroom teaching from July2009. After successful completion of the first yearcourses (two semesters in the on-campus programme),

a learner has an exit option and would earn aPostgraduate Diploma in Gender and DevelopmentStudies.

The programme is likely to be of interest toacademics and researchers; trainers, facilitators,supervisors; staff of organizations working in thearea of gender and development; governmentpersonnel; personnel working in banks/ financialinstitutions.

Development policies and practices have a differentialimpact on women and men. This necessitates anunderstanding of the “gender gap” in access toresources, privileges, entitlements and choices.Consensus has evolved around the need to explorethe “gender gap” in key development sectors andhow this gap can be bridged. There is now greateremphasis on mainstreaming gender perspectives intothe development process. This will contribute tobuilding a gender-sensitive rubric of development,recasting development theory and action in the“direction of improved living standards, sociallyresponsible management and use of resources,elimination of gender subordination and socioeconomicinequality as well as to promote the organizationalrestructuring required to bring about desirablechange.”

Exploration of gender issues has become an importantactivity for most non-governmental organizations.Increasing emphasis is being laid in Governmentalagencies on establishing gender-differential impactsand taking positive, affirmative action towardsgender equality and equity. It is now widelyacknowledged that gender considerations need to bereflected in all development plans, programmes andpolicies. There is growing concern over the isolationof women in so-called “soft” sectors in education,employment and development rather thanmainstreaming gender concerns across allorganizations, institutions and activities. While theconcerns are clearly articulated, national goals andthe UN millennium development goals cannot beachieved without concrete effort towards genderequality.

Achieving gender equality and gender equity requiresmulti-pronged approaches and strategies. One of thekey approaches and strategies revolves around designand development of suitable educational programmesthat equip practitioners and policy makers with therequisite knowledge and skills to make a valuablecontribution in this sphere. The Master’s/Postgraduate Diploma programmes would make anexcellent foundation for analyzing, critically assessingexisting development interventions and promotinggender-sensitive/gender-based research and action.The strong focus envisaged on positive affirmativeaction would be of considerable significance.



The programmes seek to enable learners to:

analyze extent of gender-sensitivity ofdevelopment interventions;

conduct gender analysis;

critically analyze gender differentials in selecteddevelopment sectors;

identify appropriate research designs andmethodologies for a range of research problems;

suggest positive affirmative action indevelopment planning and practice to promotegender equity and equality

Structure of the Programme with total credits :

The broad structure for the Master’s Degree/ PGDiploma in Gender and Development Studies uses amodular approach.

The Year I courses (two semesters in the on-campusprogramme) if successfully completed would earn thelearner a Postgraduate Diploma in Gender andDevelopment Studies. If the learner continues withthe Year II courses (two semesters in the on-campusprogramme) and successfully completes them, thelearner would earn a Master’s degree in Gender andDevelopment Studies. Specializations according tothe learner’s interest could be chosen from a rangeof optionals using a choice-based credit system.
