India’s social sector works towards addressing complex challenges in poverty, inequality, education, healthcare, gender, and sustainability, to name a few areas. Middle-level leadership is essential for managing teams, translating organisational vision into actionable strategies, and ensuring the efficient implementation of programs for social purpose organisations (SPOs).
