IIM's Expansion Plans

IIM's and IIT's are the only renowed education insitution from India in the world Arena. The IIM plans to go abroad, is not at all fair. IIM may be an autonomous body, has rights to take their decision, but it's not like an organisation to expand it's feathers.

IIM's are started in India to make the studens to excel in their managerial roles and to show the world that Indians are better in Management.

Instead of opening an branch in Singapore or any other country, why cann't they open an another IIM in India Itself .

Even in chennai or Hyderabad, or in N.E cities or in North Indian cities.

Even there is problem with the States also. IIM A has plan to open an IIM in Maharastra but Maharastra Government is asking for the resversation of seats in IIM.

Government should come down in this issue, as far i know reservation in the education should be abolished at all levels.

If u have the talent of getting in to an IIM, let u go, government should adopt this kind of mentality.

Expansionin of IIM in other country will earn money for them, but aim in opening the IIM is totally failed.

Instead of opening an IIM in other country for foriegn studnets, increase the number of seats in the IIM , make the foreign students to apply ,to get an seat in the IIM.

This will have an added advantege,

1. Education Based toursim will be developed.

2. Good Image over India, providing education to foriegn students.

let think of your self , any Foriegn Universities have openend an Branch in India for Indian studnets?

whether Harvard, santford have opened an branch in India, but indians are studying in those universitites, like wise make students from other countries to come here to study in India.

So states and IIM should come down in this issue, states should all the arrangements that are needed by the IIM to open in their state.

Will IIM and Indian States will consider this?

2007: MRTS to Velachery

MRTS : Mass Rapid Transport System

MRTS Project has Started in year 1999( Appx.) ,it's an Greater Gift to the people of South Chennai and to the People in the chennai suburbs( Velachery ,Madipakkam, Palikaranai, Medavakkam, and so on). The Proposed Train service is from Chennai Beach to Velachery , but they constructed till Thrivanmiyur and open it to the public before 2 years , and then they stopped the project stating the soil in the Taramani to Velachery sector is very loose and it won't withstand the load . They made many Soil Test and try to introduce some German Technology to strengthen the Soil there, from Anna University to IIT made many test and finally they come to an conclusion now to build the pillars instead of proposed ground level passage.

previously they said that the soil is loose, so train will be plying only the ground level not in the evaluated path as such till taramani.But now they are saying it , they will construct pillars , so train will be plying in an elevated path and in the velachery Station will get over by December 2006 and service will be open to public by January 2007 to public. And also they himself accepting there is some technical flaw in the design of the Railway station in Velachery. The commuters who want to go the Second platform has to go through the elevators in the basement to reach the other side of platform.

It will better ,if they find an solution to this before opening it to the public

Will the Railway Board will look in to this matter early?

It will be better , some Good thing done to people of the chennai suburbs. Will the Future Project it's connecting the train link from velachery to Mount Station will be made without any Structural fault in the Design?
