Students from Myanmar to hone skills at IIM-Bangalore

BANGALORE: Twenty students from the University of Mandalay in Myanmar will be hosted by the Centre for Public Policy at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, from November 18 to November 29, 2013.

They have come to take back some new ideas on doing business. Their training includes pedagogy relating to various aspects of entrepreneurship, management of small and medium enterprises, sustaining and expanding the financial and human resources of an enterprise, both in the national and in the global context.

The visit, which for many will be their first to the country, will be packed with lectures and field tours to Narayana Hrudayalaya, Safal, Akshaya Patra Foundation etc.

While some of the students are working in firms of different sizes, some among them also own businesses. Through the program, the Centre for Public Policy hopes to expose the students to various aspects of doing business domestically in a given economy and more relevantly, in the international context.

"Now that Myanmar government has injected a new vigour into the process of opening up its internal economy, the opportunities are immense. The students wish to get an idea of our business environment which has a significant international content. A comprehensive programme of pedagogy, visits to enterprises and meetings with has been finalized," said N Ravi, former diplomat and Senior Fellow, Centre for Public Policy at IIMB.
