The constantly changing education paradigms, in response to growing complexity of the industry environment today have necessitated the academia and industry to come closer. Exceptionally dynamic corporate world expects the students pursuing different professional programmes to be well versed in the industry environment. With globalization taking place, the job market has become even more competitive. Functioning of the great Institutions is made with the following three philosophical overtones.
Functioning of the great Institutions is made with the following three philosophical overtones.
- Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself (John Dewey)
- Thought without action does not have any value and an action without thought is a futile action (Vivekanand)
- What I read I forget, what I see I remember, what I do I understand – that is learning by doing.
MREI is distinct Gurukula working primarily around the above philosophical paradigm. It is confluence of galaxy of thought and action leaders from different walks of life. The Universities are engaging in architecting and shaping young minds and business leaders who:
- Look beyond, look around and look within,
- Develop undaunted curiosity to continuously learning and grow as holistic leaders,
- Can powerfully connect horizons with the ground reality,
- Can efficiently connect scattered dots and create powerful mosaic and rainbow of managerial skills.
- Seek higher results with the helicopter perspective,
- Develop capabilities to handle Complexity, Ambiguity, Uncertainty and Volatility,
- Are socially responsible and ethical prudent in their behavior and conduct,
- Can create tomorrow, today with entrepreneurial vision and out-of-box thinking.
