Dear Professor Dutta,
Very happy to learn about the earlier attempt. I hope the time is ripe now for a renewed effort.
All of us know of the numerous Conferences, Seminars and Workshops organized by so many sister Institutions on various themes and topics. I have observed that during the last couple of years there have been many Workshops on Research Methodology emphasizing Data Analysis, especially Multivariate Statistical Analysis, and specifically Structural Equation Modeling. To what extent can we "integrate" the outcomes of all these efforts? To what extent can we offer Workshops to develop other research competencies, especially in the art of raising good questions? To what extent can we offer Workshops on themes such as:
a) Institutional Planning, Development and Excellence;
b) Teaching-Learning-Evaluation Excellence;
c) Academic Administration Excellence;
d) Identifying Benchmarks and Quality Standards in Higher Management Education;
e) Constructive Management of Institutional Politics;
f) Academic Team Building;
g) Professional Ethics;
and so on. MTC Gobal members can and should easily add much more to this small list and enrich it for collective good.
At this stage, please let us build a comprehensive, reliable database of research and mentoring/professional development competencies among MTC members via crowdsourcing. The data items could include:
a) Name,
b) Designation,
c) Contact Information including Official Address, Institutional/Organizational Affiliation, E-mail Address and Phone number(s),
d) Specific Areas of Academic Expertise (in which the concerned person will be happy to share knowledge and impart skills, and/or serve as a mentor or professional development expert),
e) Total Work Experience (in Academia and/or in Business/Industry)
f) Preferred Mode of Service to another Institution, viz., (i) Guest Faculty member (focusing on teaching one or two courses during a semester or trimester or quarter in the host Institution), (ii) Visiting Faculty member (offering full-time services in and to the host Institution for a minimum period of one month to a maximum period of twenty-four months), (iii) Adjunct Faculty member (offering full-time service for a specified number of days per week in and to the host Institution over a period of at least one year), (iv) Consulting Faculty member (making a series of short-term visits to the host Institution to participate in specific meetings or conduct specific faculty development programmes), (v) External Evaluator of Doctoral Theses, or (vi) any other mode including combinations of various engagement possibilities.
I hope any one or more MTC Global members with the required competence will help create a common database which can be used by all members to provide the above data.
Best wishes,

Greetings!!!
We had initiated the similar model in the year 2010 under the banner of 'Swami Vivekananda Knowledge Sharing Model'.Few colleges like Dhruva college of Management , Hyderabad and few more hosted program in the campus and one senior management expert had travelled from Kolkata to deliver the program.
But later on , due to non-response from the colleges it was kept on hold with the hope that it will be launched again.
I will share the model soon.
Thanks and Regards.

--Dear Professor Waghodekar,
Thank you for your e-mail. I am fully aware of STTPs and am one among many well-meaning colleagues who wish to participate in the transformation of our academic/intellectual System.
If we share our knowledge and experiences, we can hope to realize the desired transformation. There are so many inspired young colleagues who are eager to "know more" and blaze new trails through their intellectual work and contributions. Our most valuable contributions will be in the form of enabling our younger colleagues to push their limits and go beyond themselves.
We have reached a stage where "more of the same will not do". We must collectively work and build a culture of continuous learning. After all, we Professors are "students-for-life", and formally too. It is high time we believed in ourselves and our spirits of excellence, and work with fresh vigour, hope and collegiality.
Let our arms be open and hands extended to all in our academic community. Let's join hands Professor Waghodekar.
Please let us all specially thank Professor Bholanath Dutta, again and again, for having launched this bold MTC initiative with the best of intentions.

You have made a wonderful suggestion. In fact similar prgs called STTPs are being conducted in one or the other form since decades. ISTE and AICTE offer funds for such prgs. But the outcomes are not so appealing mainly because the concepts taught are rarely implemented in institutes and there is no feed back mechanism to assess the real impact of STTP on a continuous basis.
What I sincerely think that faculty and Management of an institute must be charged with a spirit of achievement and they need to experiment on it on a continuing basis. Till then let us bank upon the STTPs.
I wonder if I could be a part of your team!

The great scientist, Ernest Rutherford, is quoted to have said, "When you don't have sufficient money for intellectual work, THINK."
Please let our MTC community/professional body attempt to spread the spirit of excellence (as per Article 51A (j) of our Constitution) within the domain of Business and Management including education, research and Institutional development. Please let us organize periodic short- and long-term continuing education programmes on various academic themes, subjects and topics at various locations in our country, at cost + minimum financial surplus to enable sustainability of such programmes. One or more Institutions could please consider extending their support, in a variety of ways, if possible.
To set the ball rolling, a few of my friends and i are willing to volunteer our services without expecting any financial returns whatsoever, except reimbursement of our travel costs (inter-city and local) and local hospitality (humble accommodation and healthy food). That's all. With goodness and strength of our spirits, we can be sure about the world-class part becoming a consequence of our initiative and efforts in the days to come.
I have observed, and firmly believe, that several among our colleagues ARE world-class right now. Please let their services begin to flow and multiply across our Business and Management academic system.
Best wishes,

Decontrol all higher and technical educational institutions.
Remove licence Raj.
Competition will set in.
Quality will go up.
Allow first Indian colleges 2 Yeats to reorganize. Choice of course, salary to teachers, appointment of head of institutions and fees to be charged to be fully decontrolled.
Reservations to be removed after 70 years in 2017.
After that allow foreign colleges to set up campuses on their own terms.
India and Indians will shine.

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] Building world-class universities in IndiaDear Professors,
You are all right in what you are saying. Actually, many of the world-wide Universities. Institute/ Colleges have been around for awhile, may be fifty to a hundred years, if not longer. As they say, Rome was not built in a day.
I am from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, We are over a hundred years old (established in 1909). Though we are proud of our Indian (First) and Asian (Top 20) rankings, we are still a long way from being even in the Top 50 in the world. But we are working very hard at it; and probably stand the best chance of any Indian University/ Institute to make it there.
It is not just a matter of financial strength; otherwise the Microsofts and Motorolas and Siemens and General Electrics could have all best the best Institutes in the world; as could have the Tata, Birlas, Ambanis, and Narayana Moorthys in India.
I once had an interesting conversation with Professor C.N.R. Rao, Bharath Ratna and former Director of the Indian Institute of Science. I asked Professor Rao, who has built many great Institutions in India, "Sir, what does it take to build a great Institute?" Professor Rao's answer was very simple (perhaps too simple); he said, "Dr. Iyer, you need two things. One, you have to hire the very best talent that you can find, from anywhere in the world. And, two, you have to let them free. Responsible people, especially great Professor, know what is good for their Institutes, and what is good for them. Don't legislate and bureaucratize their work regimes".
Need I add anything more to what Professor Rao has said?

Dear Sir, the thoughts are very illuminating. He is right when he says that it is the
older public university that stands the greatest chance of being in the top 20 world
class.
A second point about quality and the budget being determined by the faculty is also very
relevant. This coupled with academic freedom imposes a great responsibility on the
faculty.
Thirdly, Philanthropic funding for setting up chairs for dedicated schools and bringing
in men of eminence is vital for the reputation of the University
We recognize powerful opposition from the other stakeholders notably the Govt, the
political groups, the students and the larger public to get the kind of cooperation to
fix these problems.

William G TierneyUniversity professor and director of the Pullias Center for Higher
Education at the University of Southern California, USA.
The Indian government recently announced the desire to have 20 universities that are
ranked among the world's great universities. Although that goal is praiseworthy, the
ability to make the dream a reality seems far-fetched based on my experiences over the
past year doing research on higher education in India. Regardless of which rankings one
considers, a glut of universities in the United States always appear in the top 200. By
one measure, eight of the top 10, and 50 of the top 100 universities in the world are
from the US. The result is that other countries try to mimic what they think the
Americans are doing, but they learn the wrong lessons. India's plan is to have half of
the 20 world-class universities come from the private sector. The assumption seems to be
that private universities are among America's best institutions and that the small number
of new privates in India might be better situated to vault into the elite 200 than the
many older central and state universities. The American government also does not fully
fund all of its public universities; that is music to the ears of Indian politicians who
want to use public monies for other public services. Misleading interpretationsSuch an
interpretation of America's dominance in world-class rankings is a misreading of why
American universities continue to dominate league tables. Here are five ways to think
about American higher education that may be useful for helping India achieve its goals:
World-class universities are old: Of the top 200 universities in the world only one is
less than 50 years old. A handful of US universities are just over 50 years old, but most
have been around for much longer. However admirable some of India's new private
universities are, there is almost no chance that any will leap into the top 200 in the
next decade – and certainly 10 private universities won't. If India wants to break into
the upper echelon within 10 years it will be done by public universities or not at all.
World-class universities have strong vice-chancellors without term limits: Public and
private universities in the US have vice-chancellors who are largely chosen because of
their fundraising and intellectual prowess. They generally do not serve with term limits
and are not political appointees. At my own University of Southern California, I have had
two presidents in 22 years. The Board of Trustees, with faculty input, hired them. My
current president is raising US$7 billion over 10 years to strengthen our endowment.
India's vice-chancellors serve very short terms, are often political appointees, and
almost never raise significant amounts of capital from donors and philanthropists.
World-class universities have institutional autonomy: Strategic plans, hiring and tenure
determinations and budgeting decisions are made by the faculty and administrators of
America's best institutions. Deans and faculty researchers have a significant amount of
authority over their budgets. In India the ministry and the University Grants Commission
exert enormous oversight that disables any sense of institutional or individual autonomy.
World-class universities have significant discussions about academic quality: The
standards for tenure and promotion at premier American universities continue to rise. The
determination of the standards is set, and quality control is carried out, by the
faculty. Tenure is a process that ensures faculty rights, but also requires faculty
responsibilities. In India, discussions about quality, if they occur, take place on
national commissions, not within a university, and faculty appointments are seen as
government sinecures for life.
World-class universities see academic freedom as the central value of academic life:
Academic freedom is always debated and arguments about the limits of academic freedom
have swirled on American campuses for a century. The general precept is that faculty,
through the protection of tenure, has an obligation to ensure that a university's faculty
and students are able to speak what they desire, however controversial those statements
may be. In India, academic freedom is questioned by individuals inside and outside the
university and a chill on free speech on campus is evident.
I raise these points not to suggest that India's post-secondary system should mindlessly
mimic America's. America's institutions have their own share of flaws and shortcomings
that need to be dealt with if they wish to maintain academic excellence and predominance
in international rankings. But if India wishes to have a handful of world-class
universities created within the next decade then it's impossible to have it both ways.
Public funding and philanthropic support must increase. We can't say we want academic
excellence and hamstring vice-chancellors or micro-manage from ministry offices or
overlook issues of quality control or create a climate where academics are unable to
speak truth to power. India certainly has the intellectual capacity to have dominant
universities, but significant structural reforms are necessary if that promise is to
become a reality.
