About M.Sc. in Water Science Program
The M.Sc. in Water Science and Policy is anchored in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS). It is part of C-PACT's multidisciplinary research on knowledge, governance and policy reforms on water. A unique course that combines fundamental theoretical and field-level practical learning, this M.Sc. program is today a timely and truly necessary knowledge engagement to build a cadre of water professionals. India and the world facing multiple challenges need professionals with multidisciplinary, historically and socially contextualized understanding of the complexity and multiple dimensions of water. The course responds to the felt-need for research that questions the nature of knowledge and policy. It builds upon the need for deeper and richer understanding of the meanings and processes of water policies made by the state, international organizations and networks, farms, factories and ordinary people. Rigorous and incisive problem statements, multiple community based, national and international solutions, and appropriate polycentric decision-making capacities are necessary for sustainable and just water futures in the 21st century.
