“There’s a village some distance clear of the place I these days paintings referred to as “Chaurasi”. The title at all times intrigued me and I later came upon that it was once since the position was once as soon as decorated with 84 temples. The temples now stand dilapidated, with scattered stones showcasing effective craftsmanship and a few engraved with intricate statues. Coming right here [SPJIMR], I noticed every player because the stone of that temple, and this programme as shaping an edifice out of them.” In his farewell speech, Maulik Sisodia, the Govt Director of Tarun Bharat Sangh and son of Mr Rajendra Singh, the Waterman of India, shared those poignant phrases.
After dedicating 14 years to a company based through his father just about 5 a long time in the past, enthusiastic about water conservation, Maulik Sisodia recognised that he and his workforce had to construct the capability to take the group to the following stage and determined to sign up for the Submit Graduate Programme in Building Control (PGPDM) at SPJIMR, Mumbai.
SPJIMR stands proud for the socially accountable control training and their PGPDM offered in 2011 is not any other. The overarching purpose of the programme is to broaden value-based leaders who can innovate and become social sector organizations to make a bigger affect on society. Via a singular type that permits running execs to wait categories while proceeding their jobs, the programme is a testomony to ‘finding out through doing’. The programme is preferably fitted to execs running in or aspiring to paintings for the social sector. The original design and pedagogy of the programme are a results of an figuring out that whilst the advance sector wishes to attract upon the control rules to get affect at scale, the normal company control rules are insufficient for the advanced social sector. The programme uniquely blends the nation-states of building and control, harmonizing principle and observe seamlessly.
It was once this distinctive type of the programme that drew Satendra Singh Lilhare, Co-founder and CEO of a social undertaking, in opposition to it. Within the faraway corners of Chhattisgarh, stands tall Satendra’s group heartingly referred to as Bastar Se Bazaar Tak. It was once born out of a deep figuring out of the demanding situations confronted through tribal farmers to get right of entry to the marketplace for their produce and is now on a venture to uplift their lives. The adventure from Bastar to the Bazaar is certainly a hard one and Satendra explains how the PGPDM at SPJIMR makes strolling the trail a little bit more uncomplicated.
In one observation summarizing his revel in, he proudly expresses, “The programme made me a believer.” First of all, he had an figuring out that the core values, imaginative and prescient, missions and targets of a company are defined within the site only for the sake of it; the core thought drifts too continuously to be etched as forged statements and which is why many organizations outsource the duty of creating those concepts to exterior businesses. Ultimately, his learnings from the PGPDM gave him such a lot self belief and perception that he has now not best evolved an unshakeable trust within the core values that his group will lift but additionally charted them out into full-blown implementation methods. No marvel, all over this system, Bastar se Bazaar Tak received the Tata Social Undertaking Problem (2020-21).
Any other alumnus Bhushan Kamble who graduated in 2023, discovered his management possible all over the programme and went directly to construct his personal artisanal logo ‘Vhaan’ which retails the best hand made leather-based merchandise through conventional leather-based craftsmen unfold throughout more than one villages of Western Maharashtra. Rising up within the chawls of Mumbai, Bhushan believes that those artisans from the nation-state attach us to the historical past of the world they arrive from throughout the tales they weave into every sew and design. The objective of Vhaan is to revive this artwork shape’s authenticity whilst ensuring that the true storytellers take again the highlight and are handled with dignity.
“The route taught me the whole thing I had to find out about changing into a social entrepreneur. I realized suppose obviously, deal with accounting & finance, adopt surveys, construct a workforce, design a challenge, gauge the place we’re headed as a workforce, and most significantly, incorporate earlier learnings into new assignments,” he provides.
The assignments all over PGPDM which necessitate drawing from more than a few classes during the programme starting from Concept of Exchange to Program Design, Fundraising to program Analysis and Affect Overview, from Public Coverage to Advocacy & Networking and the collection of control classes ready Bhushan and different scholars to conform to an ever-changing social sector and follow the learnings in actual time situations.
In a similar fashion, Maulik does now not have one giant however many small takeaways from the route. He stocks how the route equipped precious insights into aligning his grassroots paintings with SDGs and staying related within the evolving building sector. Having at all times labored at the floor, he idea classes like Advertising and marketing & Branding Control had been just for corporates. Lately, he has created the logo pointers for Tarun Bharat Sangh. New ideas just like the Concept of Exchange and Design Considering had been carried out in his paintings leading to enhancements, together with a cultured site with a transparent imaginative and prescient and venture.
Maulik concluded his farewell speech accepting the shift within the social views: “My space within the village has a window with iron bars. Our Bibi’s Suti Saree was once used to hide the window, identical to within the olden days. When it was once sunny, the room would illuminate and when it showered, slight rain would input the room. However no matter was once going down was once going down outdoor. The curtain was once so top that lets best see other people’s shadows past it. However all over this programme remaining 12 months, one thing modified, or perhaps you all made it occur. The string of the curtain loosened up, and it got here down a little bit. Now, I will glance eye to eye into the society past. Now, as I am going again, I’ve to look the ones faces with a new viewpoint and follow what I’ve realized right here.”
Virtually each scholar and graduate of PGPDM has a equivalent tale to inform; a tale of private transformation for the transformation of the society.
