Mudit, 38, Social Worker and Oil Industry Professional, who has secured admission to IIML IPMX program said, “I have been involved in Social Work for more than a decade now. In this period, I have had an opportunity to work closely with many noted social workers and activists which broadened my horizon in public policy. I have worked towards slum relocation, building technology enabled centers in villages to bring about transparency and accountability in policy implementation, getting admissions under RTE, teaching kids in slums, making short films to highlight pressing issues of people at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid. I have done all this along with a full-time job. Social work and volunteering have left an indelible mark on me.”
