IIM-If they would have given a thought for country

Ravi Matthai was director of IIM Ahmedabad. Being impressed by the thought and vision of Verghese Kurien, he invited him to join the Board of Management of IIM Ahmedabad. He gave lecture in the meeting for motivating students to feel that it is a matter of glory to work for at least three years before they go in search of their own progress abroad. The other members of the board sitting around the table were some of Ahmedabad's top industrialists. One of them took his cigar out of his mouth, looked at him and said superciliously, 'So Dr. Kurien, you want our graduates to go and milk cows.' He stood up, returned his look and said, 'No, you continue to teach them how to suck on cigars.' And then, Adding that he resigned from the board and walked off.

Verghese Kurien

"I too had a Dream"

Every Indian as well as people who believe in service must go through this book. This should be counted as religious book which depicts the life and effort of a Godly man who dedicated his life for the welfare of people in spite of allurement, threat and hopeless condition.

I thought to give the name of this book as title of the blog, but his name is itself became so revered to me that I can not start this thread other than his holy name. Every Indian should once go to visit Anand to know the importance of service and develop a faith that if people start living with honesty and integrity then collective happiness can be achieved.

Kurien is great example and source of thousands who believe in service and think that life is not only meant for personal happiness but it is meant for serving people for collective happiness.

There are many good people in the country at higher position, thanks to our enriched culture which inculcates values among everyone, Kurien was able to achieve what he fighted for. There is time that more and more people should come ahead for betterment of society where people should live with harmony.

Kurien is truly a patriotic Indian. Our country is truly blessed by having people from all communities who dedicated their life for nation and became symbol of unity in divesity, the soul of the country.

The ancient Indian concept, Sabbe bhoomi gopal ki gave insight of the power given to the common man. Kurien by his action has proved that if common men were given power then whole country will prosper. But it is really very difficult to achieve that. India needs more Kurien.
