Curriculum

The Rashtram Accelerator curriculum takes you on this journey from leading yourself to leading others. The curriculum is a mix of Common-Core Courses, Track-Specific Courses and Electives. The Programme also has two project periods, each six-week, that will help the Learner understand ground-realities and get on-field experience.
