I I M Idealism

The story of Mr Neela Nageshwar from IIM-A ( HT March 13) is encouraging and inspiring. MBAs from IIM-A have been getting fabulous offers from business houses during the last few years. Having done hard work, they certainly deserve all the recognition and due compensation. In the contemporary world of ours, everyone is crazy about money and there is nothing wrong if qualified persons go in for such pay packets. However Neela Nageshwar's story is different, it sets an example. He comes from a middle class background with all attendant hardships in life and it would have been an uphill task for him to plough through such a demanding study. His refusal to accept good offers from India and abroad and seek his fortune through setting up a processing plant for herbal plants. is laudable. What can be more challenging than this youngster's masterly example? The government should recognise his patriotism and challenge and give him all the help needed for realising his dream. Nageshwar's story is stimulating as it is refreshing.
