Re: [MTC Global] Venue of Sankalp 2013--‘worst land in Rajasthan’ into a green campus

Thank you so much for sharing Ipsita Sarkar's story about the Aravali Institute of Management!

Connected with this inspirational story is another one worth sharing that of Tarun Jal Vidyapeeth - Tarun Bharat Sangh (http://www.tarunbharatsangh.org/about/abouttbs.htm).

All this at a time when MNC like Pepsi and Nestle are scheming hard to privatise water!

Alongside this runs the usual dark and desparate one.  This story from the Centre for Research on Globalization

Nestle CEO: Water Is Not A Human Right, Should Be Privatized

Nestlé chair Peter Brabeck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Brabeck-Letmathe)

Political views and criticism

Brabeck-Letmathe (credited as Peter Brabeck) appeared in the 2005 documentary We Feed the World, in an interview at the end of the film. He said that the idea of water as a basic human right was "extreme," and that he believed water should have value like any foodstuff. He also affirmed that Nestlé was part of the solution to world poverty by employing so many people.^[4]

During his tenure as CEO, he jointly garnered a Black Planet Award in 2007, along with Liliane Bettencourt. The award is bestowed on individuals dedicated to the destruction of the planet. Brabeck and Bettencourt through Nestlé were accused of proliferating contaminated baby food, monopolising water resources, and tolerating child labor.^[5]

There is something wrong with such thinking.  What is good for MNCs might not be good for citizens and peoples of the world!

Could this be one of the issues of contemporary "dog-eats-dog" Management Education divorced from richer ancient and humane values?
