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.
