This is information for those want to move to development sector after long or short stint in corporate sector

Developmental sector too needs professionals especially good program managers and excellent technocrats.

My suggestion for those who want to take up development route in thier career map would be the following

1. Ask yourself whether you want to be a specialist or a generalist

2. If you want to be a specialist such as agricultural specialist, Civil engineer, etc., you need to do some web search and find the latest development in these fields and need to specialise in areas which are in the wanted list of international NGOs (Example - in Agriculture are dry land development, Organic farming, Watershed management, Insitution building etc., Example in Civil Engineering are Irrigation infrastructures, Drinking water and sanitation, Shelter construction according to country context etc.,
