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

Dear All,

Economically poor and rich is a phenomenon existing since the time immemorial.

Individual attitude, societal stricture, political setup and many more factors
contribute to poverty. To measure poverty in terms of money like Rs 32 per ca-
pita may not come out with a satisfying solution i.e., eradication of poverty.
Ignorance, customs, education, health care, political system, social system
affect the poverty. Some people are unable to overcome the attitude and habits
poverty prone. Welfare-state, trusteeship and several other methods have been
tried but with limited success. CSR is today's buzzword.

It is to be noted that each factor contributing to poverty or economic richness
like education acts like a sword. For instance education on one hand can help
reduce poverty and the other side it can contribute to poverty too (human mind
play)!

Nevertheless, the suggestion to include facets of poverty in Management
Education is most welcomed subject to the outcomes are positive, not just an
academic ritual.

Regards.

Yours,
