The Tata Institute of Social Sciences, now in its 83rd year, continues to impact social policies, programmes and ground level action for the betterment of society. As a community-engaged University with campuses in Mumbai, Tuljapur, Guwahati and Hyderabad, the Institute's vision is to create socially relevant knowledge and transfer that knowledge through its various teach-ing programmes and field action projects. With over eight decades of experience, the Institute creates highly knowledgeable and skilled human service professionals and empowers them to find sustainable solutions to people's problems, social issues and social transformation. The M.A in Globalisation and Labour programme, offered by the School of Management and Labour Studies, is a unique program devel-oped by the International Labour Organisation, as a part of its Global labour University initiative. This programme trains students to develop specialised skill sets pertaining to the fields of Research, Industrial Relations, Human Resource Management, Skill Development, Capacity Building, and Corporate Social Responsibility along with an expertise in Capital and Labour Allocation and Optimisation. M.A. in Glo-balisation and Labour ensures a potent blend of academia and enriching fieldwork for its students, enabling them to handle every facet of the capital and labour markets, irrespective of its sectorial dominion. It gives me immense pleasure and pride to present the 2018−2020 batch of M.A. Globalisation and Labour students of TISS Mumbai through this Placement Brochure. I invite you to visit our campus, interact with our committed and sensitive students and discover their innovative ideas, commitment and enthusiasm in contributing and responding to the need of the hour.

“M.A. in Globalisation and

Labour ensures a potent blend of academia and enriching fieldwork for

its students.

I am pleased to convey that a batch of talented young men and women are ready to take up the challenging responsibilities of the professional world. In 2017, the MA in Globalisation and Labour course completed a decade of dispensing high quality Policy and Labour Relations professionals to the industry. The course provides a framework to understand the diversity of experiences of globalisation and its impact on global social economy.

The students of this course hail from diverse backgrounds such as technology, arts, science, business and com-

merce. This program has been meticulously designed to ensure that our students have an understanding of global economic and societal realities with theoretical context as well as analyti-cal acumen.

The unique competency of this learning stream is that it inculcates professionals who are versatile and

sensitive to human diversity. While they have been well equipped to handle the analytics and content creation, they have

been dealing with plural context of understanding human collec-tives, organisational lives and dynamics of livelihoods. As budding professionals they are an ensemble of creative initiation, collabo-ration and participatory design making.

It is with pleasure that I present the profile of students of MA in Globalisation and Labour to the professional world. The faculty and staff of the School of Management and Labour Stud-ies have worked relentlessly to transform these minds into well-rounded, thinking individuals; and skilled future leaders. We have ignited their minds towards critical thinking and reflections and prepared them to, achieve success and excel in their chosen domains. These students were exposed to highest academic rigor, critical pedagogies, academic integrity, and practical applica-tions of theoretical knowledge through classroom discussions, seminars, conferences, block intern-ships, field exposure and by working on case stud-ies. We have taken them beyond the frontiers of the prescribed syllabi and equipped them to face the toughest challenges in real time professional worlds. They have also been exposed to specially designed training programs to imbibe the integral values of respectfulness, dignity, integrity, honesty and hard work.

I have no doubt that these well-groomed students will make a mark in the organisations that they choose to be a part of. I am positive that in the years to come, they will bring laurels to the companies they work for and to their alma mater.

MA in Globalisation & Labour was conceptualised by a congre-gation of economists, sociologists, anthropologists and legal and industrial experts under the aegis of the International Labour Organi-

sation (ILO), with the vision of establishing it as an integral part of the Global Labour University (GLU). It was started in 2007 with a vision to

produce empathetic yet aware professionals who would strive for sustainable long term solutions to labour related issues in both the organised & unorganised sectors. The pedagogy of learning includes theoretical, practical application of theory through fieldwork, individ-ual & group assignments, case studies, workshops and dissertation.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?Globalisation and Labour boasts of highly motivated students with spe-

cialised skill sets pertaining to the fields of Industrial Relations, Human Resource Management, Skill Development, Corporate Social Responsibility

along with the unique expertise in labour and capital allocation & optimisation. The course stands unique among other conventional Labour Studies and Management courses in the country as it upholds the values of social justice, fairness and equity and at the same time does not discredit the need for growth and profit.

The Labour Market Research Facility (LMRF) is a think tank that spe-cialises in macro and micro labour market, household sample surveys, working and living condition surveys and macro labour market analysis. The think tank has won some of the prestigious global research grants, and has created exemplary capabilities in extraction and analysis of large sample databases such as National Sample Survey and Annual Survey of Industry. The LMRF is actively engaged in policy advocacy in areas such as formal and informal work, skill development, technology and labour, internal and external labour market, and livelihoods. The LMRF’s research is globally acclaimed and

since its inception, it has generated research papers on diverse themes on labour market, including labour market flexibility, employability, labour laaws,

vocational training, public work, informal work, industrial relations, personnel eco-nomics, and wages.The Labour Market Research Facility is fast emerging as one of the top think tanks in household survey, large sample survey, working & living conditions surveys, urban planning, skill development, & labour market research. As the ecology of research, the LMRF continues to support M.Phil. & Ph.D. scholars who pursue research in labour-related themes.Other activities of the LMRF include projects which lay focus on disability and the labour market, and alsoadvocacy efforts for social security of domestic workers.

The National CSR Hub has come up with the concept of a national level repository of social sector projects that are scrutinised for programmatic and financial soundness and ready for receiving funds. Thus, was launched the National CSR Hub Proposal Bank at the third TISS-UNICEF Regional Capacity Building Workshop for Empanelled Development Partners, at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi on 25th April 2016. The Proposal Bank is a collection of the outstanding flagship project proposals of the empanelled development partners of the Hub. Companies are in search for such outstanding projects and NGOs need funds to implement such projects. There is often a disconnect between the two sectors which has caused a delay in the implementation of CSR activities.The intervention by the Hub towards linking the Not for Profits to companies is a step ahead in bridging the skills, knowledge, relationship, and resource gaps between the Corporate and NGO sector.

Field work based learning is the crux of TISSian pedagogy . In research methodology, the students of Globalisation and Labour are exposed to various research tools that would help them in their

final dissertation. In the second semester, the students are required to contribute 60 hours for field work. In the field visit, the students are

required to observe the functioning of the field, understand the dynamics and align it with the relevance of the course.

Globalisation & Labour (2018-2020) students have explored a wide spectrum of workers in alignment with the SDGs. The current students were given the liberty by their faculties to work in the fields of their interest. To name a few, our field work topics include study of ‘Workers with developmental disabilities’ on one side and that of ‘Impact of labour laws on street vendors’ on the other side. Some topics study

‘Lives of the children of the Sex Workers’, ‘Transgender community in the beauty & wellness sector’, and ‘Health of women waste pickers’ etc. Students

have done exploratory study of ‘Swiggy and Zomato delivery executives’, ‘Local taxi drivers’ as well to understand upcoming Gig economy.

To summarise, the students of Globalisation & Labour (2018-2020) have studied around 13 different types of workers and also covered 13 Sustainable Development Goals through their field work.

Industrial Relations is at the core of the curriculum and Globalisation and Labour students have attained pro�ciency in Industrial Relations through multiple courses on Labour Laws, Con�ict Management, Negotiation Skills, International Labour Standards, Industrial Jurisprudence, Trade Union Strategies and a mandatory Trade Union internship. A unique amalgamation of such courses enables the students to be well placed in solving complexities in Industrial Relations Profession.

Corporate Social Responsibility requires a competency in Project Management, Research and Analysis, Strategy formulation and a thorough understanding of Sus-tainable Development Goals. Students of Globalisation and Labour attain these competencies through dedicated courses on CSR and Green Economy, further complemented through �eld work & �eld visits.

Social Audit as a mandatory course enables students to review organisational poli-cies in an ethical framework. The students also conduct mock social dialogues to analyse issues with di�erent perspectives, enabling them to solve critical problems faced by both organisations and society, in turn preparing strong foundation for Public Policy Review and Research.

Skill Development

Sustainability Management

International Organisations and Economics

Research and Data Analysis

Along with formal organisations, Globalisation & labour course empha-sizes formalisation of informal labour market and skill development is an essential part of this process. Students through various internships with skill development organisations and National Skill Development Corporation have built competencies in this area.

The Globalisation and Labour programme addresses Sustainability Management through mandatory courses on Green Economy, Corporate Social Responsibility, Macroeconomics and Development Information Package. This equips the students to develop analytical and technical knowhow to make businesses economically viable through innovative solutions.

Globalisation and Labour opens new avenues for students who want to pursue a career in International Organisations working for global welfare. Students are well equipped to take up such roles as the programme provides them a deep under-standing of courses like Globalisation and informal economy, Social Protection and State, Macroeconomics and understanding World Bank, IMF and WTO.

A student in Globalisation and Labour course builds analytical prowess as they are exposed to myriad of analytical tools and Data Analysis techniques. Quantitative Research Methodology is a crucial part of the curriculum and students gain a clear theoretical data analytics foundation and are also competent in software like R, SPSS, Dev Info etc.
