IIM Alumni Associaon to help GTU in

improving MBA program: 7 groups gives

recommendaons

Ahmedabad: Dr. Charles M. Savage,

President, Knowledge Era Enterprising

Internaonal from Germany advised Gujarat

Technological University (GTU) to bring

lessons of Nachiketa and Mundaka

Upnishada in MBA program. He said that

students should be made free from greed

and self-interest. Although corrupon is a

huge challenge world over, but we are

facing urgency (30 year window) on the

front of Low Carbon Global Economy. Focus

on this topic is need of the hour.

He was speaking at Internaonal seminar on

Designing a New MBA Program for GTU at

Chandkheda campus of GTU on 14th

March,

2016. He said that Automaon Technology i

4.0 is changing scenario of industries.

Internet of Things can change business

dynamics. We must think over how we can

reconstruct our life. Bring Digizaon,

Sustainability and Wisdom into acve

dialogue. Turn MBA educaon into an Eco-

preneurial Business. Learning community

must be acvely engaged in co-creang Low

Carbon economy. Instead of Make in India

implement WISDOM in India. He advised

to make MBA program SMARTWIZATION i.e.

SMART, WISE and DIGITIZATION. The world

is moving in the direcon of STEM i.e.

Science, Technology, Engineering &

Management.

Bring Nachiketa & Mundaka Upnishada

lessons in MBA: German expert advises


6/24

Earlier GTU has 130 MBA instutes, but

within last 5 years the numbers has been

decreased to 81 because of non-availability

of students. The Seminar was organised by

GTU for discussing how to create balance

between demand and supply of MBA

students in industry, said Dr. Rajesh

Khajuria, Director, SMJVs CKSV Instute of

Management & Chairman, Global MBA

Program, GTU. He recommended that

nishing School must trains students on: 1.

Business Equees, 2. Spreadsheets (MS

Excel), 3. Foreign Languages, 4. English

Communicaon, 5. Quantave Techniques.

Dr. S.O.Junare, Director, Shri Jairambhai

Patel Instute of Business Management and

Computer Applicaons, Gandhinagar And

Jagdish Joshipura Director of Somlalit

Instute of Management also give

recommendaon AND Dean, Faculty of

Management, GTU recommended to add

new topics like retailing, online markeng

and e-commerce in MBA curriculum.

Dr. Akshai Aggarwal, Vice Chancellor of GTU

said that we are trying to teach too much

than require. There must be linkage in the

small businesses and small industries with

academia. We have to make eorts in that

direcon. There should be an acve and

connuous engagement on the way of

industry linkage. A learning management

system must be generated in every college.

We have to develop syllabus which takescare of all the issues concerning industries.

We must ask to students to write small

reports and sit with them to correct their

errors. An MBA is supposed to be a change

Agent.

Dr. Arvind Khode from IIMA Alumni

Associaon said that MBA is an applied

educaon. So strong social skills atude are

required besides sound academic

background. Simply knowledge-based MBA

person is not acceptable in industries.

Knowledge must shi from theorecal to

experienal. There should be update in

knowledge of recent developments in him.

MBA person must be modern, research

based and technically sound. He must be

job-ready with so skills in business, verbal

and wrien communicaons. He must be a

team builder, movator, inspiring having

skills of leadership and interpersonal

relaonship. He must have persuasive

presentaon skills, professionally acve on

Social sites. MBAs are looked upon as Extra

ordinary, Proacve, Out of box thinker, Idea

generator, Strategist, Analycal, Problem

solver, Decision maker, Innovave & Leader.

Prashant DuaGupta, and Doctor Jyot from

the same associaon also expressed their

opinions. Now MBA is not like in Gujara

sentence Mane Badhu Avde chhe [I know

everything]. Industry also expects skills of

modern tools in him.

Kamal Tavri of Addional Acon & Peoples

planning, Policies Commission also

presented his recommendaons to improve

MBA Program. Dr. Mitesh Dadania, Deputy

Director GTU presented Vote of Thanks. He

said that in the year 200809 AICTE

sanconed intake of all technical courses

was 17 lakh, while registered industry intake

was 261 lakh. In the year 2012-13 the

sanconed intake reached 34.5 lakh, while

registered intake was 483 lakh. So there isno issue of placement. We have to change

mindset of our students and make them

industry-ready.

parcipatory approach towards the creaon

of community based assets of the village

stakeholders with the involvement of the

students of the designated colleges, thereby

promong and providing environmental

sustainability in coherence with the

Millennium Development Goals. Keeping in

mind the above factors the present study

tries to draw the aenon towards

sustainable soluons for village

development.

Vishwakarma Yojana would provide Design

to Delivery soluon for development of

villages in Rurban areas. Thedevelopmental work in villages that could

under taken as per the need of the village in

parcular includes Physical infrastructure

facilies (Water, Drainage, Road, Electricity,

Solid waste Management, Storm Water

Network, Telecommunicaon & Other),

Social infrastructure facilies (Educaon,

Health, Community Hall, Library, Recreaon

Facilies & other) and renewable energy

(Rain water harvesng, Biogas plant, Solar

Street lights & Other) for Sustainable

development. It is proposed to frame

Vishwakarma Yojana to provide the

benet of real world experience to

engineering students and simultaneously

apply their technical knowledge in the

development of infrastructure in Villages.

The Project successfully completed Phase-I

with 68 villages and Phase II with 187

villages during 2012-13 & 2013

-14

respecvely Success of phase I& II has led

GTU to include 232 Villages in Phase III

during 2015-16. Vishwakarma Yojana is

planning for future of Gujarat and

simultaneously the young engineers are

geng chance to take real world experience

and nding soluon for Rural development

which can reduce the migraon rate &

Urban pressure.

The main focus was the quality

improvement with village development

which is major problem facing because of

unskilled labor and providing alternave

design soluon by using advance technology

and to solve the sanitaon problems by

enhancing the waste management

techniques for 242 villages Gujarat State.

(2) 500 Colleges, 500 Villages:

Under central governments Sansad Adarsh

Gram Yojana (Parliamentarians Model

Village Scheme), the target is for each MP

(Member of Parliament) to adopt at least

one village and develop it into a model


12/24

village by 2016. The proposed Sansad

Adarsh Gram Yojana of the Central

Government aims to involve MPs more

directly in the development of model

villages. In the same line, Gujarat

Technological University has also iniated a

pilot study of model villages located in

Gujarat. The main aim of this study is to nd

out the parameters of a model village; to

develop a case study on model villages of

Gujarat showcasing their achievements and

to set examples for the other developingvillages which are sll developing to become

a model village.

(3) NSS: Naonal Service Scheme is

popularly known as NSS. NSS Moo of NSS

is Not Me but you. The moo conveys self

-less service & gives message that an

individual must be society centered. NSS

aims at Student Community linkage to

enhance the standard of living via socialservice NSS Program started in year 2012-13

in GTU with only 2000 volunteers and in

year 2014-15 Government of Gujarat has

sanconed 11000 NSS volunteers vacancies

to Gujarat Technological University, in year

2015-16 total 9500 volunteers have been

joined NSS GTU from various instuons of

Gujarat state.

(4) The Bridge Course:

The Bridge Course is

aimed to act as a welcome for the incoming

students of the rst year degree

engineering, with an objecve to provide

adequate me for the transion to hard-

core engineering courses. This course is

design for four weeks under specic

structure. During this interacon of four

weeks with the faculty and their classmates,

the students have been equipped with the

knowledge and the condence needed to

take on bigger challenges as future

engineers of this country.

In the Academic Year 2015-16, the structure

of the Bridge Course has been covered

under four major heads. Those are Village

Visit (5 days), Learning

Engineering (7 days), History of Science and

Technology (5 days), and Life

Skills 5 days). Under these heads, the

Engineering Students are explored to the

learning through varied acvies like

Making his home at Village, Learning

Engineering-Blooms taxonomy, Technical

Disaster and Innovaon, Importance of yoga

in life, etc.

disposing 15 kg per hour suitable for 300

bed hospital. We have installed similar

system at Gujarat Cancer Research

Hospital.

World is facing two challenges: energy and

environmental. Both are co-related. At

present 75 % energy is being produced from

fossil fuel, rest energy is being produced

through non-convenonal sources. Fossil

fuel will not last longer. As development is

increasing, demand of energy is increasing

and cleaner technology is need of the hour.

For the rst me in India IPR is making

research on Fusion Technology. It is Green

source of energy and it is future

technology, he added.

Dr. S. Mukherjee, head of FCIPT said that,

Surface engineering is a part of our daily

life. Using it we have developed Angorawool. We have used the technology at Kullu,

Gi city to become zero waste

by using Plasma Technology


14/24

which is worlds rst Plasma treated plant.

IPR is using Plasma Nitriding in enhancing

component life. Plasma technology is also

used in seed and Nano paern based

sensor, pescides and forensic science. It is

also used to clean breathing air and in

water puricaon. He gave example of

how a pen sized instrument with plasma

technology can be helpful to stop bleeding

in wounded person. How the technology is

helpful as a stain remover.

Dr. S K Nema, IPR talked about waste

disposal Plasma pyrolysis and gasicaon.

He said that, in waste disposal methodburning is dangerous to human being. In

Plasma Technology hazardous and toxic

compounds are broken down to element

constuents due to high temperature. Dr.

K. N. Sheth, Director (Operaons) Adani

Instute of Infrastructure Engineering and

Dean (Advancement, Alumni aairs and

Interdisciplinary Research), GTU expressed

his opinion. Prof. Rajnikant Patel, Hony.

Director, Graduate School of Smart Cies

Development and ADVISOR (Research and

consultancy Service cell), GTU presented

vote of thanks.

Second session was chaired by Prof. Shri

Rajnikant Patel, Advisor, GTU. Ms. Nisha

Chandwani talked about Plasma texle

applicaons, while Dr. M Ranjan, IPR thrown

light upon Nanopaerning, nanoparcle

and its applicaons. Ms. A Joseph, IPR

talked about Surface hardening by plasma

nitriding, while Dr N Jamnapara, IPR

discussed about Collaborave R&D on

plasma technologies and funding
