Efforts to groom ‘netas’ in leadership skills have started picking momentum at an institute near Mumbai which is now planning to launch its third academic session to train political greenhorns in governance and public affairs.
Located at Uttan in neighbouring Thane district, the Indian Institute of Democratic Leadership (IIDL), started by BJP vice president Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, has been offering a one-year post-graduate diploma course in leadership and governance since last two academic sessions.
The course, recognised by the Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University, includes training in aspects like leadership, politics, democracy, governance and public policy, Ravindra Sathe, director general of Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini that promotes IIDL, told PTI.
