The One-year Program in Public Human Resources Management (PHRM)at XLRI-Xavier School of Management–Jamshedpur / Jhajjar (Delhi NCR) has been conceptualized as an officer friendly domestic training program on Public Human Resources Management without any international component. This provides the advantage of minimal dislocation of officers from their workplaces and allows them to continue with their current assignment/posting during the duration of the course.

The program shall consist of three modules, each of 60 hours duration, to be delivered via a hybrid model with two domestic residencies involving intensive classroom sessions, distance and e- learning modules, and multiple online preparatory and follow up sessions. Drawing upon the more than 25 years of experience of XLRI in delivering hybrid programs, the PHRM program will use the latest technological tools to bridge the distance without compromising on the program delivery.

There will be an exam at the end of each module. Participants (nominated officers) who successfully complete a) all the three modules, b) all the exams at the end of each module, and c) a capstone project, will be given a program completing certificate during the graduation ceremony to be held after the end of the program in XLRI Jamshedpur. Each participant (nominated officer) will be required to work on a capstone project on the intersection of public policy and human resources management under the guidance of one of the faculty members involved in the program. The output of the project will preferably be in terms of policy insights (working paper) but can be in other forms based on the mutual consent of the faculty advisor. The project topic can be identified in consultation with the respective ministries and departments to which the participants are attached to.
