India's leadership model is not a form of arrogance: BR Shankaranand
DU students will play an important role in making India a developed nation by 2047: Prof Yogesh Singh
DU
launches two-year postgraduate program “MBA (Business Analytics)”
BR Shankaranand, Bhartiye Sangathan Mantri of
Bhartiye Shikshan Mandal, said that India's leadership model is not a form of arrogance
but of a world guru. Shankaranand was speaking as the chief guest at the launch
of a new program called MBA (Business Analytics) started by the Department of
Commerce, University of Delhi. Presiding over the function on this occasion,
Vice Chancellor of University of Delhi, Prof Yogesh Singh said that the
students of University of Delhi will play an important role in making India a
developed nation by 2047. On this occasion, an orientation program was also
organized for the newly admitted MBA students of International Business (IB),
Human Resource Development (HRD) and Business Analytics (BA) of the Department
of Commerce.
Regarding the launch of MBA (Business Analytics)
program, BR Shankaranand said that leadership has an important role in starting
this program. Appreciating the leadership of the Vice-Chancellor Prof. Yogesh
Singh regarding the beginning of new works in the University of Delhi, he said
that when there is such a leadership, only development takes place and the
chances of untoward incidents are very less.Shankaranand said that praise leads
to pretentiousness while appreciation increases humility. Discussing in the
Indian context, he said that today we have reached the stage of giving
leadership to the world. Students should be aware of this. Leadership is also
very important to bring the Indianness of India in front of the world.
Shankaranand said that in today's time India's leadership is going to shine in
the world.
Shankaranand said that India had put the
sustainable model in front of the world. India had 30% of the world's trade,
but after a long period of subordination, we became self-forgetful. Today is
the time for upliftment. It's time to lead the world. He said that every nation
has a soul and India's soul is spirituality. Without spirituality, India is
just a dead body. Spirituality is needed to become Shiva. Culture is the
embodiment of spirituality. Discussing about foreign mall culture in India, he
said that malls cannot be thrown out of the country. Work has to be done on how
to amalgamate the Indian culture with the mall culture. He said that there
should be culture in business. Business models without spirituality lead to
destruction. If the mutual relations in the organization are not like a family
then no business or country can move forward. Calling upon the students,
Sankaranand said that in the coming 25 years, India will be a developed nation
and all of you should also have the same resolution. We have to make this dream
come true by giving the best Indian leadership in the coming 25 years.
Vice Chancellor of University of Delhi Prof Yogesh
Singh said in his presidential address that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has
taken a pledge that India will be a developed nation by 2047. University of
Delhi and its students will play an important role in this. Addressing the
students, he said that by that time either you would be in leadership position
or would be holding very important positions. So this new program, MBA
(Business Analytics), is a very relevant program.
The Vice Chancellor said that to become a developed
nation, our per capita income should be six times more than at present. For
this we need 9% growth rate for the next 25 years. All this is possible only
with Business Inventor. The Vice Chancellor said that Indians have done a great
job in the computer revolution, but India as a nation has not been able to do
that much. Referring to Indians in foreign companies, he said that we have many
success stories of Indian people, but India's success stories are not that many.
Now the time has come that the success stories of India should also come
forward. We all can do this. Referring to India's UPI platform, he said that in
the last 2-3 years this is a good success story of India which has come in
front of the world. Now India is signing MoU with many more countries for its
UPI. Thousands of such success stories should emerge from India in future.
The Vice Chancellor said that many good things are
happening now. Startup is no longer a new word but it has become a reality. We
have 120 unicorns, over 1 million startups. Today is the era of technology. If
you are doing MBA from University of Delhi then give your 100% in it. Read new
and good books. You will have to face competition everywhere. We cannot ignore
it. Focus on the words creation and innovation. If we have to become a 30
trillion economy, then the basic things have to be brought out from India. Prof.
Yogesh Singh congratulated the Department of Commerce, University of Delhi for
coming up with this new program, MBA (Business Analytics), in just 2-3 months
and said that India needs such implementation. The Vice Chancellor called upon
the students that the aim of your business should be to do good for the people.
Managing Director and founder of India Foundation, Torch
Investment Management PTE Ltd., Shaurya Doval, who was a special guest during
the program, told the students that in the next 2 years,
when you walk out with your MBA degree, there will be many opportunities in
front of you. The country was not at the point where you are today. Speaking in
the keynote address, Dr Rishi Mohan Bhatnagar, President, Eris India, said that
the human brain is evolving very rapidly. Today is the era of IT revolution.
When revolutions happen, there is often job loss. New technologies are being
invented continuously. If we do not change ourselves with the changing times,
then the risk of job loss will be high. Hence there is a constant need for
reskilling.
At the beginning of the program, Dean of the
Faculty of Commerce and Head of the Department of Commerce, Prof. Ajay Kumar
Singh welcomed the guests. He gave detailed information about the department,
right from its foundation in 1967. At the end of the
program Prof. HK Dangi proposed the vote of thanks.
