TESTIMONIALS

"The ICP Batch V has been well designed and executed online training course of NFCSR/IICA on CSR. Having undergone initial changes in design of the course in content and delivery, it has been become a power packed course of learning providing incredible knowledge and rich experience. The contents have been concised and the re-enforcement sessions have been well planned and delivered seamlessly without much technical flaw, on saturdays and sundays to ensure attendance of all learners. The choice of faculties has been good and some are really excellent with lots of experience in the field. Co-ordination, communications and management of the programme have been flawless. Though interrupted by unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, it has been hotly persuaded and eventually, all the requirements of the course have been made to be completed by al learners. Kudos to Team NFCSR/IICA! May please keep up the good initiative for the benefit of many more learners in future!"

"Before taking this course, I thought as a working CSR professional, I already knew the basic theories, laws, policies, etc. related to CSR. But after completing the course, I feel pretty confident in my ability to understand & implement CSR. The course material was comprehensive, which was not only helpful in getting technical knowhow of CSR in India but also provided a fair idea about international frameworks of CSR & Sustainability. I still use the course manual and video sessions as a reference. The presenters and trainers (especially industry stalwarts, who took practicum sessions) were incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. This course also gave me the opportunity to connect and network with other CSR professionals"

"The ICP IN CSR course conducted by IICA on CSR is a great value addition to me. I could learn about different CSR practices. It had a very practical approach to learning and the faculty were interactive. In my batch I also had the experience of sharing some of our best practices and at the same time learning from the other participants. During the whole year I always took out time to attend my online classes and gain as much knowledge as possible and I believe that is one of the best investments I made in myself.
The duration and the pedagogy of the course is well designed and caters well to the needs of CSR professionals. This course is excellent course available in the country for learning about CSR. It was an enriching experience for which I will always cherish."

"As a company secretary in practice, my role was basically on calculation and advising on the applicability of the provisions of CSR. The sessions and the practical exposure of ICP in CSR has given an in depth understanding of CSR, beginning from the Intent of the law makers behind the creation of the CSR law to the practical Implementation of a CSR programme. The curriculum is designed in a way that Regulators, NGO’s, Corporates are involved in the programme which helped to understand the aspects of CSR in their respective perspective. Each faculty has excellent knowledge in their respective areas. The Coordinator and the Support staff are very helpful from the beginning. "

"The programme designed by IICA has a good blend of theory with practice. The spirit and essence of the Act is clearly drilled i.e., the Act is not about philanthropy but about affirmative actions with medium to long term interventions bringing about a change for the better. This course provides a 360 degree view of the social landscape and a context and perspective, multiple stakeholders may have to a CSR project i.e., donors, implementation agency, beneficiaries, policy makers, technical partners, etc. This understanding is crucial in designing and planning for a successful project with sustainable impact. By inviting guest speakers from different backgrounds to the course, IICA has made it even more insightful and interesting as we get perspectives from experts with varied practical experiences. The attachments to a Corporate and NGO is an excellent concept to learn on the job. Despite the course being mainly online, I believe that IICA has been successful in creating a community of CSR professionals. The help and guidance from course co-coordinators and professors has been tremendous. They have been a constant guide and always excited to help. They provided clarity whenever I went to them with any doubts. I wish to also add that despite the challenge of pandemic of Covid 19, the course correction was done in timely manner and learning did not stop. Overall, very well designed course and well executed."
