What makes 45 years gheemaker of Gwalior in collaboration with 24 years of a call centre in Bangalore executive? Or as a matter of rexinemaker Indore and a Microsoft executive. Not much, this would probably be the answer.

But very soon, all studies, all for one year Post Graduate Certificate courses in business administration from Reliance WebWorld to education outlets in the country? First video conferencing-based management training.

From October 29 Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB), provides leaders and entrepreneurs a chance for a business management certificate by videoconference. The Institute is 250 students, each with a minimum experience of two years for the course.

Contrary to the normal classroom, students sit at WebWorld outlets in their cities, while their teachers in Bhubaneswar, she sees on a giant plasma screen.

The program, which is not really cheap in the 1.5 lakh R, see staff Wipro, Oracle, private and public banks and even jewelers connect If the first party receives a satisfactory response, the Institute east early in the second no later than February 2006.

Nijikaran Adhyapak Morcha, Punjab, Ludhiana, at a meeting held in the city yesterday criticised the lathi-charge and use of water cannons by the police on the unemployed B.Ed and PTI teachers who had gathered to stage a protest at Matka Chowk in Chandigarh demanding jobs for them.

The leaders of the Morcha, Mr Piara Singh Dhillon, Mr Baldev Krishan Moudgil, Mr Charan Singh Sarabha, Mr Rajinder Singh Garcha, Mr Charan Singh Halwara, Mr Sher Singh Dhandari, Mr Dhanna Singh Swadi, Mr Sarabjit Singh Bhog, Mr Jagdish Singh Jassal and Mr Mela Singh Dugri demanded that instead of suppressing the struggle of the unemployed teachers, the Punjab government should give employment and fill the vacancies that exist in schools.

The teachers’ representatives said that Punjab at one time was occupied 6th position in the field of education in India. But now it had slipped to 16th position. For this, they laid the blame squarely at the door of the Chief minister, Captain Amarinder Singh.

They also said that the government schools were being destroyed by not filling vacancies. The Chief Minister was encouraging privatization of education. This will make it very difficult for the poor people to educate their children.

The Chief Minister was trying to ruin Sarv Sikhye Abhiyan started by the Central government by after spending millions of rupees.

Pune: professional qualification, the required time. And with rising costs for higher education, which has become inevitable for students is the necessity of applying for education, ready to follow their dream.

The average cost of an MBA program in India is now over 4 lakh RS, with the exception of those offered by the Indian Institute of Management (IIMS), they are R 2.5 lakh, given that these courses are offered by the government.

At the annual fee for MBBS Maharashtra are underway in the region of RS 4 lakh, some MBA courses are-even after over RS 6 lakh, as Pai of the TA Management Institute in Manipal (Karnataka) or India School of Business in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh), who is a member of the London School of Business.

Even law courses leading institutions such as the National School of Law, Bangalore, National University of Jurisdical Sciences, Calcutta, or the Institute of Law of symbiosis, Pune, are expensive ¡ª candidates on the shells of a minimum 3 lakh to Rs integrated, of course, one of five years.

The realization of scenarios of developments in the field of higher education, a number of banks are now creating educational needs of loan amounts. Most banks offer a loan of up to Rs 15 lakh for students abroad to study and R-7 lakh for the pursuit of higher education in India. Says Neyda Huq, a second year student of Symbiosis Institute of Mass Communication, “I went to training in the form of a loan, I did not want to depend on my father for my education. I know I can and repay more late. ”

Neyda, it adopted a loan from the Bank of Hyderabad, Kolkata. His father was a promise the same height fixed money in a deposit, but it is accepted. You can pay back the loan in seven years, beginning six months after receiving a work after completing their courses. For Sourabh Kankhar, the process was even easier.

“I did not guarantee a full guarantees,” said the second year MBA student at the University of Pune. He took loans from Bank of Maharashtra’s Somwar Peth sector.

While his father pay the interest during the moratorium, Sourabh begins repayment of the loan six months after completing its course, the maximum rate of 60. Today, most banks offer loans for education in simple terms, without demanding guarantees, whether in the form of a fixed deposit or property or life insurance.

One of India’s leading business schools and corporate breeding grounds is run by men who have taken a vow of poverty and are strictly forbidden to open bank accounts.

Multinational companies and top Indian private sector firms flock regularly to Xavier’s Labour Relations Institute at Jamshedpur, 200 km from Calcutta, to sign up fresh MBAs and other graduates with degrees in personnel management, human resources development and industrial relations.

But what distinguishes the budding venture capitalists, investment bankers and fund managers from the institute is that they are trained how to rake in profits and run businesses successfully by Christian priests who have renounced worldliness and materialism.

Not surprisingly, even on the campus, there is a big difference between the lifestyles of teachers and students.

The teachers - Jesuit priests who have taken the legacy of educational excellence to the forefront of business education in India - live in spartan rooms with only the bare necessities of life.

But their students from affluent backgrounds have air-conditioners and cars while the hostel’s backyard is littered with empty scotch bottles and packs of expensive cigarette brands such as Benson & Hedges and Rothmans. “Ours is a religious culture and we are giving training in corporate culture. It is difficult to reconcile the two worlds but the common principles are hard work, duty and loyalty,” institute director Father Thomas said.

“The Christian idea of servant leadership is important - not to lord it over but to be at the service of others. We don’t teach it in religious terms but as something that we say is noble,” he said.

The training, undertaken by men who have taken vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, emphasises business ethics, social responsibility, spirituality and maintaining emotional balance in the cut-throat, high-stress corporate world.

Oddly enough, the institute is the oldest management college in India.

It began in 1948 when Sir Jehangir Gandhi, managing director of Tata Steel, India’s biggest steel plant in Jamshedpur, requested the Vatican to consider sending a group of Jesuits to start a school for the children of mill employees.

Of course, the first Jesuit priest to come to India was Francis Xavier soon after the Society of Jesus was founded in 1540. Gradually, Jesuits founded dozens of reputed schools and colleges in all parts of India, including St Xavier’s College in Calcutta. They were traditionally in the service of Christ and focused mainly on the needs of the poor.

Responding to Mr Gandhi’s request, the Vatican despatched American Jesuits who set up St Loyola school in Jamshedpur. Among them was Quinn Enright. Like many Jesuits in the United States, he had an interest in labour unions. And soon enough, Father Enright taught labour laws to Tata mill employees, making them aware of their rights and showing them how to negotiate with the management.

It was Tata Steel which provided a sprawling campus to Father Enright and his band of priests to start the institute. The first personnel management and industrial relations course commenced in 1953.

By 1964 it was recognised by the Indian government as an autonomous management institution.

Within two years, the institute launched its own MBA programme on the government’s request to fill the void in business education in India. Today, it has nearly 300 students and a dozen Jesuit professors in the 40-strong teaching faculty.

True, the students are mainly interested in pursuing courses which will land them highly paid jobs. Even if God were to teach MBA and personnel management and industrial relations students, His values will not sink in or be taken too seriously in the short run, said Father Ignatius, a theologian who teaches business ethics.

“But in the long run, they do understand the central values we try to inculcate in them,” he said.

Father Ignatius said the institute’s students invariably acquire the so-called soft skills - communication and working well in groups - the intangibles which become increasingly important in the business world.

Xavier institute is ranked fourth among India’s top 20 business schools, just behind the three government-run Indian Institute of Management at Calcutta, Bangalore and Ahmedabad.

What are your views on government policy on education in India?

It is a total confusion on government initiatives in education before. Nobody knows what has been done until today, and what we must do more. Indeed, nothing has been achieved, if one is to believe that only 34 percent of the population to read and write in the country. I feel NGOs can play an important role in educating India.

Can you shed light on the management courses that you propose?

IIPM is a university research institute and therefore proposes that two management courses for students in one level Undergraduate - Bachelor of Business Administration and the other at both postgraduate - Master in Business Administration (MBA ). At the heart of the CWB and MBA programs is about national economic planning. The most important thing is that students in the CWB IIPM, after two years working in industry, are automatically with the MBA-closing. This means students from the CCB at a stage where further MBA program.

IIPM programs are recognized?
