My first class of Prof. Dr. Mandi was a very unusual experience. I was expecting the professor to run through some PPT and deliver the lecture on 'Principles of Management'. But Prof. Mandi had totally different plans. He started with circulation of Fun toys, stress ball with whole world map on it, plastic bird etc. Well, too many unexpected things were happening around. Soon, I understood that I am really going to "learn" something.
Prof. Mandi gave us a short intro about him and then began to teach us in the most fascinating way one could ever imagine. While we were looking at the butterfly, professor taught us how a concept of balance, centre of gravity etc. can be learnt from a simple plastic bird that balances itself on its beak.
He made us realize what “beggars” we were, asking our parents to feed us. He wanted us to become a self dependent person. I very much liked his way of inculcating this value. He made us calculate our Per Day Cost which roughly estimated to 2500/- INR. If we are able to earn merely 10% of this amount then most of the problems of 'begger' generation (which depends upon their guardian's money) would vanish. He explained us the concept of “Hamara Dhandha”. Learning and Earning are the two things which should go in parallel. A person should apply whatever he learns and should earn something out of it. Entire class joined Dr. Mandi for the slogans:
Soacho.. Becho ! Becho.. Seekho ! ! Seekho .. Soacho ! ! !
Aaj Ki roti...Aaj hee, kamyaenghae !
Dr. Mandi explained us the significance of blogging. If every individual writes a blog about his learning of a particular subject, it will create a repository. This repository will be helpful to someone else, not a part of NITIE curriculum, to understand the concepts of POM (Principles of Organization Management). This would eventually help propagate the culture of knowledge sharing and spread education to millions.
Then we all sung a famous Pink Floyd song "Another brick in the wall"!! And thus the session came to an end. Oh yes, no pens, no notebooks required. Just keep your mind open to learn the concepts.
Stay tuned to get more updates!!
Cheers,
Akshay
