Abstract

The M.A Development program offered by the Azim Premji University is a two year full time programme that aims at building the capacity of students to become reflective development practitioners. The program considers the field as an important site of development knowledge and field practice is an essential component of the curricular objectives of the program. The program has three critical field engagement components: a 2-week field immersion, a 6 weeks summer internship and 8 weeks of independent winter field project. However,due to the safety precautions and lock-down during the Covid-19 pandemic, it was not possible for students to complete a summer internship. Therefore, the university redesigned the field internship into an online internship in partnership with field organizations in different parts of the country.
