CHENNAI: Industry and academia should raise their talents and ability to keep pace with the changing scenario to maintain India’s ‘first mover’ advantage in management education, Governor Surjit Singh Barnala said on Thursday. Presiding over the first graduation day of the Chennai Business School (CBS), he said that liberalisation and technology had brought about a change in the scenario of brain drain. Though China lagged behind India in management education, it was making huge strides. “So it is our responsibility to leverage the ‘first mover’ advantage and surge ahead.” Higher education should suit the changing trends. The teaching materials and teaching methodology should be in line with it. The emphasis should shift from studying to learning. Besides, schools should produce graduates whose skills matched the needs of the modern day workplace, he said. Mr. Barnala presented graduation certificates to 55 graduates, who completed Post Graduate Management Program (PGPM) in Human Resource, Marketing & Communications and Retail. Aruna Ganesh Ram bagged the ‘Outstanding Student of the Year Award’ for 2006. CBS ranks in top 100 CBS Governing Council Member and Confederation of Indian Industry Southern Region Chairman P.K. Mohapatra said the CBS was ranked among top 100 business schools in the Asia Pacific region. CBS centres in Bangalore and Mumbai would become operational shortly. The Bhubaneswar centre was opened in June. With this, the in-take of students for the current year would go up to 350 from the present 62. During the current year, the Chennai Business School would offer postgraduate programme in management and insurance for which it had tied up with ICICI Prudential. Vast potential
R. J. Shahaney, Chairman, CBS Advisory Board, said: “India needs a good crop of managers to achieve double-digit growth. Today, nearly 70 per cent of our population is below the age of 40. The CBS has vast potential to churn out not only managers but also industry leaders.”
