I was in Mumbai during 28-30 Jan at TISS to participate in National Conference and attend meeting of South Asian Network of Impact Masters (SANIM). It was a highly satisfying experience for the following reasons:
Time Management: Prof Majumdar is known for it and maintained that image. All the faculty members of Center for Social Entrepreneurship attended complete three days sessions.
Hospitality: TISS has given us an immense opportunity by extending the invitation for the conference and facilities were excellent.
Program schedule (9.00 am to 7.30 pm): Time allotted for expert speaker and paper presenters was optimal. There was a lot of scope for Q n A to clarify doubts and suggestions.
Expert Lectures: core to the conference theme and speakers were able to bring out there hardcore research experience. I learnt quite a few new and contemporary approaches in research.
Paper Presentations: Unlike in other conferences, papers were carefully scrutinized and called for presentation. Only 3 papers per session (90min), on an average 60 minutes to each presenter, scholar can explain his work better and at the end the whole process was justified with the investment of energy, time, and money. In many of other occasions, after having invested resources and travelled 100’s of kms, scholars were given 5-7 minutes (including Q n A).
Meeting of SANIM (4th meeting) was also organized to discuss, as name indicates, to strengthen MBA program through the impact on society, economy and environment. Many new South Asian members from Sri-lanka, Maldives, and Nepal also attended the meeting. The agenda was to revise curriculum by incorporating impact component in each course. Institute of Professional Education and Research (IPER) Bhopal did the initial work and it was a good beginning. Detailed discussions were held on the same. Finally it was decided to have special conference on the same and IPER will host it.
Mr Saikat of Arvindo Ashram, Pondicherry shared his experience of the newly designed course on “Self Governing Leadership” and delivered at TISS. Prof. Joy Mitra of Essex University, Colchester, UK urged other organizations who have promised similar projects to complete them at the earliest. It was decided to host a web site SANIM.ORG immediately. Prof. Mitra appreciated our Student, Institute and Industry Track (SIIT) and asked to present about the same in the next meeting. Others also appreciated and complemented the track as very unique one, at least in India.
My colleagues from Karnataka Dr H. N. Shivaprasad (JSS, Dharwad), Dr M.V. Alagawadi (Central University, Gulbarga), Dr Chennaveer (Central University, Gulbarga) were also part of the conference. Their presence also gave scope for regional cooperation among B-schools of North Karnataka.
It was an opportunity to understand ourselves better and learn more and more humility.
