TESTIMONIALS
IIFM has been the foundation on which I have built my
career and an everlasting bond and some great friends.
The environs of the institute provided the solitude and
companionship- at the same time- to learn, play and work
in teams. The exposure that 18 months at the institute
provided has guided me and helped me with my work over
the last 19 years. It continues to be a space that I would like
to go back to.
Jayesh Bhatia (PFM 1994)
NR Management Consultants India Private Limited
A decade after my class graduated from IIFM, I look back
and feel that the most important attributes we gained
from those two years were humility and adaptability.
IIFM opened up a different side of the world to us and at
a very early stage in our career we learnt (and in various
instances, experienced firsthand), the impact of social and
environmental issues on communities and their
habitats. The extensive field experience and the niche
focus of the curriculum were instrumental in preparing us
in diverse ways for the responsibilities and opportunities
ahead.
Shikha Kalra (PFM 2003)
Rabobank International, London
To say the least, IIFM has played an integral role in shaping
my career and has helped me in not only becoming a
successful professional but more importantly a better
person! A launching pad always critical for any successful
career in social development, IIFM has helped immensely
in providing me the required stepping stone. Apart from
the technical and management aspects, few of the other
attributes which IIFM has helped me to develop are
leadership qualities, ability to work effectively with a wide
range of personalities and to do multi-tasking effectively
without getting stressed. These qualities have helped me
to work successfully on senior/middle level management
positions with organizations like UNICEF, International HIV/
AIDS Alliance and at present FANSA.I am proud to be an
alumnus of this esteemed institute and would strongly
recommend reputed organizations to go all out in
recruiting IIFM students as part of their campus
recruitments !
Siddhartha Das (PFM 2004)
Freshwater Action Network, South Asia
My work in TERI involves planning, implementation and

assessment of projects on intermingling themes of human
development and clean energy. Like most other IIFM
graduates, I am required to play polychrome roles of project
manager, extension worker and researcher simultaneously.
I have found that the eclectic academic courses I studied at
IIFM, and the assorted practical experience I gained at the
institute have singularly contributed to both ideation and
implementation of my work as a development researcher.
S. Arun (PFM 2012)
TERI
IIFM has been an enriching and engrossing two years for me.
The experienced faculty, well designed curriculum, unique
pedagogy , familial culture and a great learning environment
at IIFM were the ingredients of a strong foundation for a
management career .
Neelima Mishra (PFM 2013)
Odisha Livelihoods Mission
IIFM provided me a clean and perfect atmosphere for
education peaceful surroundings, unique and engaging
subjects, and guidance from awesome teachers. The trainings
and learning received from IIFM built my character.
I have received and acquired three values from IIFM:
perseverance for achieving goals, ethical thinking and love for
all life on earth. I shall treasure this valuable learning all my
life.
PGDFMs rigor has sharpened and honed my analytical skills,
taught me to explore various innovative solutions without
harming any life and mother earth. I have acquired the skill
of presenting data, information, business models and views
lucidly in written text and info-graphics. These skills remain
with me and make me a valuable resource in the organization
where ever I work.
Finally, the greatest confidence whenever I take up a new,
challenging and unknown work are the words of Director
and faculty of IIFM: You can anytime come back to your alma
mater for any help in your career. We will be always here for
you. These words are like Brahmastra to me constantly
keeps me assured that I can anytime come back to my Gurus
for any help I want; professionally and personally.
Aryasilpa Das Adhikari (PFM 2014)
