In a similar vein, K.M. Parivelan proposed that some more experienced participants could be encouraged to make formal lectures during the course. He also pointed out that, in order to facilitate more informal interaction between the faculty members and participants, it would be good to organise their accommodation in the same place. This was also noted on other faculty members evaluations.
Ashok Swain, like all the other faculty members, found the course generally well designed. He pointed out, however, that more emphasis could be given to political and legal aspects. Heikki Patomäki, in turn, would have added more emphasis on normative principles and positive possibilities or solutions. 
Ruchira Ganguly-Scrase found that it might be good to give the participants more targeted questions for compiling their group reports. The students often tended to repeat what was said during the lectures or roundtables, which made the presentations repetitive and long. With more targeted questions, the summaries might be easier to construct, which would also have a positive impact on the time-management of the course.

Excerpts From Evaluator’s Report  

Rajesh Kharat pointed out that the course is unique in its nature and content of the Modules. The Modules, which are being taught in this course, are very much related to contemporary issues and significant for the policy makers. Moreover it was the first time that the course has introduced new modules; the module on Research Methodology, i.e. Module (E) as a compulsory module and the inclusion of another optional module (H) on Media and Forced displacement of Population along with the two regular optional modules: Module (F) Resource politics, environmental degradation, violence and displacement and Module (G) Ethics of care and justice. The introduction of these two new modules has raised

issues and concerns from both the faculties and participants, and the activists involved therein.      
In particular, the introduction of environmental degradation, violence and displacement was highly appreciated as Elizabeth Ferris from The Brookings Institution, conducted this module in a such way, that every participant took a keen interest in sharing their concerns about the environmental degradation and displacement all around the world.
The participants as well as the faculty members cherished the Three Day Media Programme on Forced Displacement of Population. The first session in this segment was the screening of films on migration and refugees. Sanjoy Mukherjee chaired the session and initiated a discussion with the clippings on Impressions of Partition, followed by a talk on the renowned Bengali film maker Ritwik Ghatak’s works. The session ended with the screening of Ghatak’s film Subarnarekha which generated lively discussions among the the participants and the faculty. Another interesting dimension of this segment was Ariella Azoulay’s audiovisual presentations on the occupied territories in Palestine. Through a PowerPoint presentation, Ariella shared with the participants a sensitive analytic portrayal of photographs followed by a talk on citizenship. The Film titled ‘The Hunger’ exposed the issue of the lack of food security in the region for the Palestinians, though the allegations substantiated by the humanitarian agencies working there was vehemently denied by the Israeli security personals.
Despite these, newly introduced optional modules during the winter course, and the other sessions on compulsory modules were equally interesting and raised many questions and concerns pertinent to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and refugees. The faculties invited during the course were well-known personalities and who has done rigorous research and contributed a lot in their respective fields. The invited
