Re: Re: [MTC Global] Address the poverty issue through management education

Dear All,

All thanks to Professor Raj for sharing his work with MTCG.

Poor (below poverty line) are those who cannot meet the bare necessities of
life-Roti, Kapada and Makan.

It is an excellent suggestion that Management Education needs to address to
poverty issue. In fact poverty issue is related closely with several factors
like location (tribal/rural), culture, health, education, literature, political
will and what not.

Nevertheless Management Education stresses on profit making, productivity, ROI,
etc. Even if 2% population of India means one of the biggest market in the world
and India is a wonderful place to do business! In such a scenario, the
suggestion of inclusion of poverty in Management Education is the most welcomed
thing but its outcomes on Indian economics/policies need to be defined.

Regards.

Yours,

According to Tendulkar Formula Rs 32/- per day per capita is the metrics of
poverty. Rangarajan formula remains work in progress. There can be many NSS
(National Sample Survey) Reports.

 
Bholanathji brought an important issue to make poverty as part of curriculum /
Management Education. At the outset it must be the part of Business Economics
subject. The ecosystem of any business is surrounded by society. The poverty
level of the society, directly influence business, products and services.

Important point raised is whether Management Education can be used to address
poverty issues. Govt. Policies related with poverty say Food Security Bill, RTE,
MGNREGA etc. are implemented by Administration Execution Machinery run by IAS.
Without entering in to controversy of effectiveness of execution and interfering
in to the existing system the issue is how we can contribute as Management
fraternity through Management Education.

Management Institution must take the responsibility of development of society
around their geography. They must play their societal role in addressing poverty
issue. Beside vast student power they can make use of CSR aspects of Industry.

 Post retirement, I have taken the rural project of “Improving the
Quality of Life†. Poverty word I avoid. The Project is “Rural Empowerment
through ICT†. It is through my own funds in a village in Ambala (Haryana). It
include both products and services. Basic strategy is that rural people should
not leave village and should earn extra by remaining at village only. To
illustrate a simple project is to  Train people as Drivers. There is a
huge demand for part time drivers in City. ICT is used to provide connectivity.

On Education / Training front the Project is:


Leadership Course “We Can†specifically designed for SC,ST,OBC.

Art of Selling.
To interested Members project information can be shared. Any Management
Institute sincerely interested in addressing poverty issues can be guided.

MTC should generate a White Paper.
Regards.

Dear all,


Good morning. The issue raised by Dr.Duttaji is very relevant in the current
context. In my opinion poverty eradication is possible through - education
followed by employment. We need to focus on employment oriented education in an
integrated manner rather than any stand alone efforts . 



One way of  addressing this problem is to rope in Corporates under CSR
initiatives in order to raise the financial resources for providing education to
the poor and in turn seeking job placements at these corporates. When this
strategy is implemented , in the long run we will be able to improve the
employability of the educated youth ( especially the poor students) and reduce
the poverty. 



With warm regards,

Subject: [MTC Global] Address the poverty issue through management education









Dear Esteemed MTCians,
Greetings!
As we are aware that there are eight millennium developmental goals and first
one is eradicate poverty. Is it possible to address the poverty issue through
management education ? Few steps are already taken like various community
services works, collaboration with NGOs etc. But not many. Is it possible to
include the same in the curriculum ?

 
Request reflection on the subject. It would really helpful to the members.
