Why MBA Development Management different from contemporary MBA degree

The entire globe has been seeing a paradigm shift in all sectors and all directions calling for a need for a more autonomous and purpose-driven workforce. Changes in the entire ecosystem have been noticed where the boundaries between the Rural and the Urban are slowly disappearing. The National Commission on Population (NCP) in India, 38.6% of Indians i.e about 600 million are predicted to live in urban areas by 2036 which is in the next 15 years. It indicates that there would be more opportunities for professionals to build an eco-system for the Rurban population.
