Indeed proud to be an IIFTian.

The fact that we are ranked No. 7 reassures the perception that IIFT is the one of the best B-schools for MBA in the country and "the best" for International Business specialization.

Go IIFT Go !!!

The way you articulated your experience is truly amazing.

2011-08-01T16:21:15.862+05:30

The fallacy of your arguments
1) "The point which I would like to make through this article is the sheer irrelevance of holding the country’s sanctity to ransom and disrupting the functioning of the parliamentary body, when our parliament is the highest authority which frames laws."

ARE THEY? They are holding their PEACEFUL protest... somewhere else... no Disruption, as i see it.

2) "Civil society bonded together by their collective frustration against corruption (cases for which are popping up every week like the spread of mosquitoes during the rainy season at NCR) has taken the mantle upon themselves to have a complete overhaul of the system."

They are asking for a powerful ombudsmen. No overhaul. Just one institution with enough power to see the justice done.

3) "In the past when we did not do anything to counter corruption, we the general people blamed each other for the lack of pride in cleaning our own houses. Now that we are doing it, we are doing it under a shaky leadership and the connotations have been there for all of us to see."

See! you are saying what i am saying.... precisely the need for a strong/powerful ombudsman! to fight the impotency of our political system, an ombudsman elected in a most transparent manner, a person of proven track record.

4)"People like me and you will not get a penny in our hands even if the black money, on the pretext of which the entire campaign has been staged, returns back. Since the issue has been raised, the government is trying its level best to bring all the tax havens onto the negotiation table"

ITS ABOUT COMMON MAN DAMMIT! Handling the rotten beurocracy is the basis of making an ombudsman! (its making me wonder if you understand what you are saying)

5)" We aspire to be the new power bloc in the world. India has a cultural heritage of tolerance and that is what has helped us sustain as a collective unit. We are not hardwired to deal with issues in the some of our Middle east cousins or for that matter our arch rivals in the north treat us."

??? Are you sure you are talking Jan-lokpal?

6) "We have lots of people dying everyday in road accidents, out of diseases, out of sheer poverty and that is what needs to be brought to the fore. The rest will take care of themselves."

True. But who fights corruption in saving these ppl. There are already thousands of schemes rotting with corruption...

7) We already have the Vigilance Commission We have the RTI. Both of these have been the brainchild of this very government and they are working so well.

True. But the above bodies dont have power to bring the corrupt to book. Who will see through the the Justice is done till the last court hearing? (Hint: Ombudsman!)

8)"Put up the draft for everybody to see. Let the enlightened community feel wanted. Let them be involved. "

Are you complaining that in the current scenario, ANYTHING has been done differently? :-O

I doubt your understanding of the Janlokpal bill & wonder if you appreciate the gravity, depth & pervasiveness of corruption which you- yourself encounter everyday in every dealing with a servant of government!

With the revelations coming out of so many SCAMS for the past many months, it is all the more necessary to bring even the P.M , Judiciary and the actions of MPs on the floor of the house under the perview of LOK PAL bill without any exception. It is hoped that better counsel will prevail on our
leaders at the time of discussion and pass the bill as proposed by the Citizens forum. Then only ours can be called a Democratic Country.

Dear Sri editors,

Here i am expressing my solution to the problems like Eradication of corruption, Control of Fake currency, Hawala transactions, Inflation, Financial Crimes, Thefts, Goondaism, Bringing back our Indian depositors currency from Swiss Bank
(govt estimated currency declared in press RS 1,45,000 CRORES in Swiss Bank),and improvement in circulation of currency in the country.
SOLUTION;-( DEMONETIZE) CANCELLATION OF THE PRESENT SERIES OF CURRENCY AND LEGALISE THE BLOCK MONEY BY LEGISLATURE AND PARLIAMENT.
AND ALOW ALL INDIANS ,NRI S ,TO GET BACK BLOCK MONEY OR ANY TYPE LIKE HAWALA ACCOUNTS ETC, WITHOUT PUNISHING ANYBODY OR PUBLICISING OR PENALISING OR DISCLOSING NAMES OF SWISS BANK HOLDERS, OR ANY OTHERS , LEGALISE AS ONE TIME SETTLEMENT.
AND FURTHER RS 10,000/-PER MONTH PER INDIVIDUAL ONLY ALLOWED TO TRANSACT BY
CASH. AND BELOW RS1000/- VALUED ITEMS ONLY BY CASH ALL OTHER TRANSACTIONS THROUGH BANK CHEQUES OR CREDIT,DEBIT, CARDS ONLY.
Our country s population as per 2011 cences 1250 crores. if the government deposit on individual account of every citizen as social security deposit,the amount of RS 2 crores each, total deposit equals to RS2500 crores.
On this individual deposit gets RS 2 lacks per month as interest. that amount can be spent as individuals Free education, life health, insurance coverage,old age pension ,unemployment Aid,corps insurance, etc.
Please think and ask our MPs,econamissts and all intellectuals to raise the issue to debate.

I, a Prof. of IIFT, landed up at this article from a tweet from http://twitter.com/#!/IIFT_MBA

Good to see such developments being streamlined systematically. However, I am not sure who is the author of this piece. The link of the tweet took me to TOIN e-paper registration page, and not to the article. Here I see the article posted by Bhushan Bapat. Does it also mean Bhushan Bapat is the author of the article, and even the owner (or copyright holder)?

My only suggestion is, in case the article has been taken from TOIN e-paper, that acknowledgement/link must be provided somewhere (bottom) of article.

Otherwise there may be problem. I would love to believe students/whoever managing the site are smart enough and do follow such practices inherently, however, just to be cautious - I felt I should share this apprehansion to this platform.

Best wishes, and good luck,

Ranjit

I second Bhushan word by word.
It was a pleasure to interact with our alums, the forthrightness with which they interacted with us and clarified our umpteen number of doubts with patience was exemplary.

It was a night to remember for sure and as a batch we are eagerly looking forward towards further interactions with our beloved alums.

Long live IIFT!!!!

Hey Guys,

Good work... just a pointer to drive your efforts in a quantifiable direction:
Try and develop a framework which a foreign company should have to start an organization ( this will go a long way in ur understanding of how business is done in Africa - and yes the framework is very different from rest of the world)
Try and find the reasons why businesses are flowing from all over the world to Africa. And no, the answer is not resources and labour alone.

All the best in your endeavours.

GO IIFT GO!!!

Yesterday I had in my MS Outlook nearly one hundred emails. This morning I have had nearly zero emails. I didn't know what to do next. But for luck my friend called me and recommended me - how do i open a pst file. He was really right, the utility solved my issue for seconds. I presented him a new disc with an online game))
