Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

A STUDENT PROJECT

 Dear VHI,

 

 

Some time back , you wrote that you have requested your Director – Operations , to examine the possibility of your MBA / Engg / Comp Science students to undertake a project to develop a Technology  Platform to find a holistic solution to the traffic , based on my blog :

 

Transport : an Integrated Logistic Plan ? 

 

There was a time when “ Case Studies “ of large companies , were part of teaching method of all management colleges

May be , this is still so

 

But have you ever heard of a “ Case Study “ of a Management Institution being part of curriculum of all other management institutions , world wide ?

 

Because , that “ Case Study “ illustrated how those students went about solving a “ Real Life Problem “ faced by the entire World ?

 

And , in the process of finding that “ Universally Applicable Solution “ , how these students successfully managed to get on board , the following stake-holders :

·         Vehicle Owners

·         Vehicle Manufacturers and their Professional / Trade Bodies ( eg : SIAM / SMEV etc )

·         Regional Transport Authorities

·         State Transport Ministries

·         Central Transport Ministry

·         Manufacturers of RFID and other sensors

·         Public Transport Operators

·         Fleet Operators

·         Taxi Operators ( Uber – Ola etc )

·         Air Traffic Control Authority

·         Drone Operation Authority

·         Maritime Operations Authority

·         Police Authorities

·         ISRO

·         NITI Aayog

·         Numerous Indian Start Ups working on “ Vehicle Tracking Systems “

·         Mobile phone manufacturers who will switch over to NaviC based GPS

 

I am sure , this is not an exhaustive list

 

Here is an opportunity for your Institute to set a precedent for academics contributing to solving real / urgent issues

 

Regards,
