i-WIL Report 2012

The Centre for Public Policy (CPP) in collaboration with New Delhi-based Centre for Social Research (CSR) launched India’s first certificate course in political leadership for women—the India-Women in Leadership (i-WIL) Programme. The i-WIL Programme is an endeavour to strengthen the capabilities and leadership skills of aspiring women politicians to contest elections and participate in governance.

The i-WIL programme was inaugurated on 16 July, 2012 by Her Excellency, Smt. Margaret Alva, Governor of Rajasthan. 26 women (see Annexure 1) from different walks of life representing 10 states across India enrolled for this programme. United Nations Women (UN Women), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Government of Karnataka, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Global Studies Programme and Takshashila Institute extended their support in different ways. The course was spread over three months and included lectures, field visits, and exposure visits to Delhi and Singapore.
