ORGANIZATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: KURIEN HAD THE BEST OF HIS KIND....

  ORGANIZATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: KURIEN HAD THE BEST OF HIS KIND.... Dr. V. Kurien did not have "RAW", "CBI", "ED" or "NIA" at his command, but he had his own means of gathering "Organizational Intelligence ". In fact, everyone, everywhere, does gather "Organizational Intelligence" in his/her way, but, Dr. Kurien had it exemplary in his own way, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to run the Large Organizations he could run for so many years spanning almost for 6-decades. I will cite a real life case here, subjecting to the disclaimer I am giving below. There are many people may be present in this group would know and guess about this case and also agree with me. In those days, around 1986-87, GCMMF ( GUJARAT CO-OPERATIVE MILK MARKETING FEDERATION LIMITED, famous dairy brand Amul of India ) had a structure, where the State Level Offices were called as "Depot" and the "Regional " or now "Zonal...

KURIEN WAS VERY FIRM IN ENSURING THE ELECTIONS OF THE SOCIETIES/ ORGANIZATIONS UNDER HIS COMMAND : A ROLE PLAYED PAR EXCELLENCE

  KURIEN WAS VERY FIRM IN ENSURING THE ELECTIONS OF THE SOCIETIES/ ORGANIZATIONS UNDER HIS COMMAND: A ROLE PLAYED PAR EXCELLENCE Dr. V. Kurien as a Professional Manager of the Farmers' Organizations/ Societies (whether Co-operative Societies or Societies/Organizations of any type that he handled ) that he always called himself, that were under his command, played a Role-Par Excellence, first and foremost, ensuring that the Elections of those Societies/Organizations were held on time and the Democratically elected Managing Bodies of those societies/organizations were always in place. Whoever came as the Elected Board/Managing Committee ( or elected body of Office Bearers ) of those Societies/organizations would be respected by him the utmost, and also it was a matter of significance that most of the times, those men/women would be the ones that were in alignment with him. As much he would respect the Elected Leaders of one society/organization, he would also have respect so much for...

A REAL LIFE CASE OF AGRICULTURAL FARMERS DOING ONLINE CLASSES

  A REAL LIFE CASE OF AGRICULTURAL  FARMERS DOING ONLINE CLASSES This is a real life case I am sharing. Just yesterday evening I phoned my own Sister in Odisha ( In India ) on her mobile phone. She is younger to me by 5-years. She lives with her Husband and Children in a village in Odisha, can't be said to be a too much remote village, but a village approximately 10kms from one of the District HQs. They can be said an Educated Family and Educated Farmers. First time I phoned, there was no answer. Second time I phoned there was no answer. I was worried, as I would make a phone call from Bombay and there would be no answer from her, it could be next to impossible. But I decided to wait for some time and call again. After about 30minutes, her call back came. First of all being very scared ( this is a respect in Indian culture, but not getting afraid ) she said " Sorry, your Brother-in-law ( her husband ) was doing on-line classes " on my mobile phone and therefore I could no...

INDIA’S POST-INDEPENDENCE PATH OF RECONSTRUCTION COULD BE A GUIDE FOR WAR-TORNE NATIONS OF THE WORLD IN RECENT TIMES

  INDIA’S POST-INDEPENDENCE PATH OF RECONSTRUCTION COULD BE A GUIDE FOR  WAR-TORNE NATIONS OF THE WORLD  IN RECENT TIMES  On 15 th August 1947, India got its independence from the colonial rule of the British. Britishers had entered India as traders, in sixteenth century, for doing business; however started ruling India forming the East India Company approximately around the year 1612 and continued the Company Rule until 1857 when the birth of Indian Freedom movement took place with the Revolution Against the British in the form of “Seepoy Mutiny" of 1857. In the year 1858 the British company rule of India was transferred to the Rule of the Crown of British Empire.  The purpose for which the Britishers occupied and used India as a colony of their empire, was Business and Revenue Generation. Their purpose was not the Nation Building for India. Thus, India had remained under the colonial British Rule for the years from 1612 to 1947, a very long stretch of p...

  TIPS TO CONSUME CUSTARD APPLE (SITA PHAL) HAPPILY   I am writing this note as certain facts struck to my mind while buying some Custard Apple ( Sita Phal, in Odia also called as “Badhial“ ) for home consumption in the morning. Custard Apple is a very nice fruit, very popular and consumed throughout India. This is the season, we get a lot in matured condition in the market, plentily available now in Mumbai (Bombay ). But, there is an issue invariably with this nice fruit. Most of the times you will find some spider-net and miniature whitish type of stuff stuck to the groves of the custard apple sold in the market. This stuff is usually the saliva ( spider net is also saliva of spider ) and spider net looking insects called as "mealy bugs" and eggs of some insects who eat and survive on Custard Apple plants and fruits. If you consume such fruits without properly cleaning it, invariably there may be a possibility of throat infection. During COVID-19 time, even a throat inf...

  RAKSHA BANDHAN ( RAKHI PURNIMA ) IS A TRADITION DRAWING ITS ROOTS FROM LORD KRISHNA PHILOSOPHY …   Lord Krishna Philosophy is such a rich philosophy, there is no other philosophy that can match its depth. Raksha Bandhan which got celebrated today largely among Indians around the Globe, draws its roots from Lord Krishna Philosophy by the following story lines :   1. Once Lord Krishna accidentally cut His finger by Sudarshan chakra and started bleeding profusely. It’s “ Draupadi “ who tore threads from her Saree and tied the finger of Lord Krishna to stop bleeding.   2. Durbasha Rishi who is known for his fire like great anger in mythology, once while taking bath in the Ganges lost his clothes which got washed away by water current of Ganges. “ Draupadi “ was bathing nearby in the Ganges with a group of her lady escorts. Rishi Durbasha went nearer to them while still naked inside water and requested the group of bathing ladies if anyone could donate a piece o...
