KOLKATA, India Tribal members who used to poach wild animals for meat and trade are now becoming part of India’s growing ecotourism business.
A group of Pardhi youths in Madhya Pradesh state who have been working as tourist guides at the state’s Panna Tiger Reserve for the past couple of years are soon set to begin advanced training in ecotourism activities.
Speaking on the launch Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chancellor, BITS Pilani, said, “Building on the legacy of BITS Pilani, we have envisioned that BITSoM will mould visionary game-changers through a new age MBA degree program, that goes beyond management studies alone.”
BITSoM will provide students a platform to learn from the brightest minds across industry and academia globally. This will include globally renowned professors from top B-Schools such as NYU Stern School of Business, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Singapore Management University and Kellogg School of Management, in addition to leading industry practitioners.
The students will also gain access to relevant industry networks and insights through pioneering leaders who will be a part of the distinguished Governing Council, an elite body led by Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, responsible for providing strategic direction to BITSoM.
