A Novel Beginning

Getting back to college after a long break and having heard of 2 hour long classes at NITIE, I was skeptical, apprehensive as well as curious if I could sustain the long lectures throughout the day. But the professors here put an end to all my apprehensions especially Dr. T. Prasad, popularly known as Dr. Mandi.  He takes our Organization Management course and teaches every bit of it through practical demonstration.



As he entered the classroom on the first day, he asked us to sit on the floor with him. A little amused, I was not sure of what he actually expected from us. But as the class went on he made us comfortable by freely interacting with us and by making us ask whatever questions we had in our mind. The freedom and confidence with which he took our class was truly amazing.
 “Dhanda” as he called it, the art of selling the product by realizing the true value of it. He made us realize that learning by spending a day on the street is much more productive than any marketing text book.

Another unique feature of the class was he used simple toys to explain to us important management concepts.  He used toys like a rubber ball with the world map printed on it. This will help a kid not only play with the ball but also learn with the help of the world map. A Newton’s Cradle was used to teach us about consumer behavior. The class was truly fun-filled and enlightening.
