Moral leadership:

Moral leadership involves two aspects. First it requires the ability to have compelling and powerful dreams or visions of human betterment. Moral leadership requires a disposition to do the right thing and influence others also to do right things. In sum, inquiry, creativity, technology, entrepreneurial and moral leadership are the five capacities required to be built through the education process. I would suggest, all the educational institutions to consider carving out a six months programme from the overall time available for the graduate and post-graduate programme. In this period the students should be equipped with knowledge on subjects like leadership, finance, marketing, inter-personal relationship, negotiation, entrepreneurship and ethical values. The students should be provided a certificate or a diploma along with the professional degree. This type of education will equip the youth with employable skills needed by the industry and also give the confidence to the youth to take up entrepreneurship as an independent venture.



If we develop in all our students these five capacities, we will produce “Autonomous Learner” a self-directed, self controlled, lifelong learner who will have the capacity to both, respect authority and at the same time is capable of questioning authority, in an appropriate manner. These are the leaders who would work together as a “Self-organizing Network” and transform any nation into a prosperous nation. The most important part of the education is to imbibe the confidence among the student is the spirit of “we can do it”.

Song Of Youth
As a young citizen of India, armed with technology,
knowledge and love for my nation,
I realize, small aim is a crime.

I will work and sweat for a great vision,
the vision of transforming India into a developed nation,
powered by economic strength with value systemI am one of the citizens of the billion;
Only the vision will ignite the billion souls.

It has entered into me ; The ignited soul compared to any resource is the most
powerful resource on the earth, above the earth and under the earth.

I will keep the lamp of knowledge burning to achieve the vision - Developed India
If we work and sweat for the great vision with ignited minds,
the transformation leading to the birth of vibrant developed India will happen.

I pray the Almighty: "May the divine peace with beauty enter into our people;
Happiness and good health blossom in our bodies, minds and souls".
