The Higher Education Review

RCM Bangalore’s MBA and PGDM programs focuses on building core skills needed at the managerial level. Because of the problemsolving skills students acquired in their practical sessions, learning and solving difficult theoretical problems became easier for them. They study theories and secure good grades on their own. With problem solving attitude,the students are able to overcome any life crisis and even solve others’ problems. “Providing the country with at least one good manager from every village is always our aim. We have helped the potential students en route to higher education. Today, they are well placed in corporate, earning good. Students are constantly encouraged to take care of the fellow village neighbors and motivate othersto join the educational program. Education is a way of diminishing any financial instability. Higher education makes a student eligible to contribute to its family’s wellbeing as well as country’s growth on possible sections,” says Prof. Satya Ranjan Mandal, Founder & President of Regional College of Management Bangalore.

The college’s approach of ‘Happiness Classes’ has been organized to remind students about having a good, quality life. It plays a master role in the construction process of top-notch managers. A lot of activities like yoga, dance and music are parts of it. Motivational playtimes are responsible for completing the happiness class hours. The educational process teaches students how to balance quality of life and work. In addition, there are preplacement activities like certified training bootcamps and an international business bootcamp where renowned dignitaries from Switzerland, France and Germany come to the campus to groom the students on different business skills altogether. Also, the college is administered by many top-notch managers from different MNCs who enrich corporate

experiences by bringing in the extensive management knowledge to the students.

The innovation and entrepreneurial cells present at the college campus are igniters of different startup ideas amongst students.

Each month an extracurricular athletic event or a cultural event is conducted at RCM Bangalore. Participants of these events grow into leaders and research writing is included in the holistic curriculum for improving the students’ presentation skills and inner wisdom. Foremost, the students become completely skilled for starting a firm after completing degree with RCM Bangalore’s initiatives.

Education for the less privileged section of the country is extremely important both for the progress of the society and growth of the country’s economy. However, calamity exists in the field of higher education with education being non-conveyable to the denser parts of the country. According to Prof. Satya Ranjan Mandal, a graduate from IIT Roorkee and IIT Dhanbad, there are uncut diamonds living in villages capable of carpentering the country’s fate into polished future roadmaps. Prof. Mandal visited many Indian villages and discovered that talent lacked the right guidance

and knowledge. However, if the aspiring learners from villages were provided with necessary knowledge through degree courses, they could have done something big for the country. Encapsulating the situation, Prof. Mandal decided to bring equivalent talents from the villages and provide them with world class education in the field of Management.
