Prof. Naveen Thomas, Assistant Professor and Student Success Coordinator

I bring in a versatile field-level experience in the development sector of about 5-6 years. I joined this program to enhance my skills to employ Public Policy as a medium to translate field experiences into actionable policy frameworks. The calibrated combination of webinar series, online course materials, and faculty live sessions are well tuned to enhance learners' experience. Global representation within the student-base further adds to the learning curve.

I’m in the first semester and truly enjoying it. This programme has allowed me to work with my schedule as a full time worker and mother. The content and the challenging aspect of the degree has been very rewarding. I am very glad that I came across this program, and continue to look forward expanding my horizons with O.P. Jindal Global University.

The courses are well designed to complement each other. They are inspiring because each module directly relates to public policy. Additionally, the materials are practical, and the weekly writing prompts help us find insights and process the material on a deeper level. The office hours and live sessions are engaging and flexible to meet my needs. Professors are knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive. They invite questions and readily share their insights. My colleagues are kind and professional. They also share their expertise and are fun to work with!
