Dear Friends,
On
25 May 2012 a meeting was held at XIMB in the chamber of Prof D V Ramana, which
could pave the way for creating quality faculty/ knowledge transfer agaents for
our city/ country. Besides Prof Ramana two other members of the learning
community- Prof Manaswee Samal and CA Swati Kejeriwal- also participated in the
deliberations:
They
hammered out a working model for the proposed “ACCOUNTING CLASSES FOR STUDENTS
FROM POOR ECONOMIC BACKGROUND”.
The following decisions
were taken:
1)
This venture would be purely charitable: No hidden cost to the participants,
no financial gains for the faculties, who would contribute their time.
2)
This is a pioneering venture, where teaching ‘commerce students
with poor economic background’ has been thought of with a career map and hence
is without a parallel in the city.
3)
This venture would be popularly known as: G-20 (Name coined by
Prof Samal)
4)
The batch: Will be of 20 students.
5)
The long-term aim: To produce quality teachers in commerce with
conceptual clarity and commitment towards the society.
6)
Target participants: B.Com students, who are economically poor.
7)
Criteria for judging suitability of participation: In the words
of Prof Ramana: "We shall TRUST our students". So a self-declaration
will suffice.
8)
So, each intending participant will give a one-page write up as
to why s/he is eligible to be enrolled in this course.
9)
It is desirable that the interested candidates should have ambitions
to teach and should evince interest to pursue one of the following professional
courses:
a) Chartered Accountancy
b) Cost Accountancy
c) Management in Business
Administration
10)
What would be taught: -
a) Financial Accounting
b) Cost Accounting
c) Management Accounting
d) Business and Corporate
Laws
e) Direct Taxes and f) Indirect
Taxes.
11)
The Classes will be held in XIMB premises at Bhubaneswar.
12)
Initially there will be 2 classes per week.
13)
10 June 2012 is the last date for submission of applications.
14)
Probable date of starting the classes: 1 July 2012
Here is a request to you:
Please
inform all the institutions and students, who might be interested, to send a
one-page write up, for each participant, to enroll for this course. The
declaration should be as detailed in serial no 8 above and should also include
a brief detail about their background.
Please
do the needful. Will you?

Here is a very touching application that we've received:
The name of the applicant has been hidden, as we are yet to secure his permission to reveal his Identity.
________________________________________________________
Sir,
This is to inform you that I xxxxxxxxxxxxx, am interested in the “ACCOUNTING CLASSES FOR STUDENTS FROM POOR ECONOMIC BACKGROUND”.
My background:
I am a student in my final year B.com in Khallikote Autonomous College, Berhampur and an MBA aspirant. My mother is a single parent, working with the state government under the rehabilitation program.
Her position, does support us morally,but fails to do so financially. She's a pension holder. We used to run the show well until my school days but since I am preparing for various management entrance examinations now, I had to come down to Bhubaneswar. I am here at Bhubaneswar now, staying at a relative's place and studying for my MBA exams which I intend to write in 2012. Bhubaneswar being an expensive city, and with the mounting expenses it was very difficult for my mother to bear my costs.Hence, I am doing an internship to support my preparation fees and other costs. My final year studies also have to be managed and hence I visit my home town once in fifteen days or so to collect notes and consult teachers.
This program has many benefits apart from the fact that I will be taught by some of the best brains in the country:
1. I will get to learn so much for free. I could not have afforded it otherwise. This is the reason why I haven't joined any coaching class for my graduation. They charge a hefty amount and the value derived is comparatively lower.
2. If I get these classes my visits hometown would be less frequented and my MBA preparation will be dedicated more time.
3. The basics of Accounting need to be strong. This is the most important factor which interests me in this program. I have always wanted to learn from the core. I am a firm believer of the fact that, without basics one can do nothing. When such highly reputable teachers teach me, I will be extremely strong in the basics and hence whenever I teach anybody I can teach him/her the actual subject rather than imparting him/her with mere bookish knowledge.
4. With an MBA in mind, these subjects are extremely essential for strengthening my foundation and widening my knowledge horizon.
5.Last but not the least, I get to visit XIMB, which is one of my dream colleges,and not to mention one of the best colleges in India.
My educational background:
10th- 79.2 % in ICSE
12th- 84.3% in CHSE, Commerce.I was among the top 25 ranks in the state.
My short-term goals:
Get an MBA degree from one of the top management institutes and to teach in one of India's premier b-schools.
My long term goals:
To create an institution which will provide a platform for meritorious but financially poor students.
I would be really grateful to you if I am selected as one among the G-20.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
