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

I think poverty is not a STATE but a MINDSET..........Researches in Sociology found it difficult to study the behavioural patterns of poor people. 

 

DHARAVI is one of the examples where the slum dwellers were offered pakka houses to live in Mumbai suburb which they rented and went back to their previous places called so called JHUGGI (installed with AC, color TV, Refrigerator and such luxury yet poor).

 

I do not disregard those who are actually living in penury they are very few and rarely approached by various schemes that GOVT run. Ironically when it comes to taking advantage of receiving benefit of BPL our MPs, MLA and many rich people claim to be BPL.

 

Isn't it more of mindset ?

Dear All,

Very Good Question

Is it possible to address the poverty issue through management education ?

I strongly believe that it can be.

My explanation:

Poverty has two stages today in the currency world where economies are made on Currency.

1. Created - Poverty created due to Corrupted Financial Policies where a person even after hardwork will be made as Failed in terms of Currency Figures

2. Natural - Poverty created due to laziness of the individual

Which one are we talking about is the matter.

If it is about first one, it can be eradicated from its roots if corrupted financial policies are corrected.

Thanks,

ekambar

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,
