Social
Responsibility Conclave
Saturday, October 20, 2007
1000 – 1730 hrs
Education has been a prime focus area and a constitutional directive
for development in post-independence India. Yet illiteracy remains
endemic at different levels and education and awareness levels are
low among people. Interplay of cultural and economic factors makes
the issue largely intractable and includes concerns about scale,
accessibility and quality of education. In India where a sizeable
part of the population lives below the poverty line, there is a need
for increased adoption and much wider alliance for broadening the
base of education.
The Social Responsibility Conclave, organised by the Net Impact
Club, is a congregation of thought leaders from various sections of
the society- including NGOs, business schools, industry, academia,
and politics.
-
Through the Conclave, the Club aims to target the following
objectives: -
Provide a platform for exchange of views/perspectives by
bringing various stakeholders of the educational sector on a
single platform
-
Influence business leaders of tomorrow – the students of
participating business schools – to the issues concerning spread
of education
-
Conceive feasible, self-sustaining models for action to promote
education at various levels in the country
