Message for Management Graduates from an Young Entrepreneur

At the onset, I would like to congratulate the team of LAMPS for their
enterprising effort in launching a newsletter of the Management
School. As a young entrepreneur myself, I can tell you this is all you
need to initiate a new venture: a new project or a great idea.
I believe there are three steps to the success of any project in life.
First you dream, think and imagine an opportunity. Second, you define
realistic terms for the project with research, and third you put in

tremendous growth and there is no better opportunity than India today.
When I started my career, I was sure I wanted to be back to my family
enterprise. At the time of placements at our campus,the director of
the management institute called me and suggested an investment

Educational Tour 2011
When lumber of exertion stifles our liberty of gratification, cuts off our
wings to fly high, we long for an flee to breathe in cool breeze, to douse
in golden rays of the setting sun and make merry with friends in the lap
of nature. Student life is formative years to build up career and their
lives are so jam-packed with study and co-curricular activities, that
they find little time for laughter. Educational tour is a great idea for
students to have a relief from the boredom of their everyday study
schedules and rigorous discipline along with acquiring some
information in the excursion. From this point of view, educational tour
is twice as beneficial for students.
Many educational reformists argue that such excursions enrich the
knowledge base of students. The prime goal of any educational
system is not to stuff the students with bookish knowledge but expose
them to real world challenges, to make them befriend nature,
sympathize with animals. In a word, education aims at shaping a
human character in perfect mould. It is a real fun for students to go on
an education trip. They get a chance to relish the natural beauty to their
hearts' content. They get to see the intricate architectural designs of
palaces, monuments or other historical places and it is just like raking
in the past events that had disappeared into time. Such trips help
students to find application of the theoretical knowledge. They feel
empowered with it and it adds to the depth of their knowledge.
Make your educational tour truly memorable.
