Distance Learning Course on Natural Resource Management (NRM):

There are many individuals who have potentials in learning managerial skills and apply them in the field of social development. But either due to remoteness or due to lack of resources they do not get the opportunity to attend formal programme of training and education. Hence, the potentials are wasted. In view of the above need, constraints as well as challenges, IBRAD has launched Distance Learning Programme, to begin with on Natural Resource Management (NRM) for forming a network of NGOs committed for the cause of NRM, Water Management and Public Health Education from 2003. As required in Distance Learning Programme the students located at far distance places from the institute have instructional delivery system with facilities of Personal Contact Programmes to be held at different Interactive Centers

The program aimed at developing capacity of the NGO members for participatory Natural Resource Management by involving the local villagers. There have been some interactive centers in chattisgarh, Madhya pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Tripura and West Bengal.

Public Health Education and Practices:

Public health is concerned with threats to the overall health of a community based on population health analysis. Health is defined by world health organization as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”.

The focus of public health intervention is to prevent rather than treat a diseases through activities, in many cases treating a disease can be vital to preventing it in others, such as during an outbreak of infectious diseases, vaccination program and distribution of condoms are example of public health measures.
