IGNOU MGSP 1 Field Project Help – MA Gender and Development Studies Field Project Guidance from Topic Selection to Final Report | Free Consultation

MGSP 1 (Internship-I / Field based Research Project-I) is part of IGNOU's Master of Arts (Gender and Development Studies) (MAGD). It involves work in the field or with an organisation, followed by a written report. We help you plan where and how to do it, and the first discussion is free.

How it works

1. Free consultation. We discuss your interests, your location or workplace, and the guidelines in your project handbook. We then suggest options that are practical for you to complete.
2. Topic and synopsis. Once you choose a topic, we help you prepare the synopsis (proposal) in the IGNOU format, with objectives, methodology and references, for your guide's approval.
3. Field work or placement. We help you choose a suitable organisation or field area, and plan what to observe and record during your work there.
4. Report. We guide you on turning your field notes into a well-structured report that follows IGNOU's guidelines.
5. Revisions and submission. We stay with you for corrections suggested by your guide until the field project is ready for submission.

The whole process usually takes 3 to 6 months, depending on your topic, your guide's feedback and how quickly the work progresses.

Areas learners often work on

• Women's livelihoods
• Gender and health
• Gender budgeting
• Women's participation in local governance
• Gender-based violence
• Women in the informal sector

These are broad directions, not fixed titles. Your final topic depends on your interest, the data or material you can access, and your guide's approval.

Fees

The consultation is free. The fee depends on your topic and the kind of support you need, and we share it after the first discussion. There is no obligation to continue after the consultation.

About your topic

Your topic is decided with you during the consultation and finalised only after your guide's approval. Every learner's topic is different, so we do not sell ready-made projects.

Common questions

Where can I do the field work?
Usually at an organisation, NGO or office related to your programme. We help you choose one and plan the report around your work there.

My synopsis was rejected. Can you help?
Yes. Share the remarks you received, and we will help you revise the synopsis or choose a new topic.

I have already started. Can I join midway?
Yes. Tell us which stage you have reached, and we will continue from there.
