According to a latest study by the Nielsen Company, more than half of fresh MBAs graduating in 2011 from the leading management schools of India would like to work in the FMCG sector.

The Nielsen Campus Track B School Survey also suggested that Google become the employer with the strongest image among the students ahead of Tata Administrative Services, Hindustan Unilever, P&G, and McKinsey.

The fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector is the choice for 54 per cent of 860 students graduating in 2011 from 30 of India’s leading management institutes, including the various IIMs, the report said.

According to the survey the other areas that the students preferred after FMCG are management consulting, investment banks, oil and energy and foreign banks.

Oil and energy, diversified conglomerates and the automobile sector have entered the top ten, edging out financial institutions, entertainment and media and Indian banks which were previously on the top 10 list, it said.

The survey gauges students’ perceptions of companies and their considerations as they evaluate prospective employers.

“A diversification of sectoral preference, coupled with a resurgence of sectors like management consulting and investment banking companies is symptomatic of greater optimism within the prospective talent pool,” The Nielsen Company, Executive Director, Surekha Poddar said.

The B school students are also expecting better salaries up to an average of Rs 16 lakh annually, which is higher by Rs one lakh from last year, as per the survey.

Individuals from Asia, Europe, and Latin America have joined hands through Twitter and Facebook to introduce ”Jana Sanskriti”, a forum of people’s theatre, to give voice to the economically oppressed.

Last week 138 of them converged to attend a theatre festival of the ”Jana Sanskriti” where performances staged centered on themes ranging from sexual harassment to domestic violence to communal harmony and environmental perils.

Two participants, Heman and Shela from Germany, told PTI that they had participated in a five-day workshop at Badu village for the ”Good vs evil” puppet show at the festival, drawn from Indian mythology.

“Despite not understanding the lyrics, the beat and rhythm of the show are so beautiful that we had no difficulty in matching steps with our rural artiste friends,” the two said.

They said that the colourful puppet show, which symbolised the vanquishing of demon ”Mahisasura”, had been derived from puppet motiffs from an anti-Nazi rally organised in Frankfurt recently.

They said the large puppets were brought from Germany and their costumes hand-crafted here. “It proves people’s art has no barriers.”

A patron of the movement, celebrated percussionist Tanmoy Bose said he believed there should be positive vibes between the artistes and the audience in performing arts in the people’s domain.

To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature.  Most persons do not see the sun.  At least they have a very superficial seeing.  The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and heart of the child.  The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood.  – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Indian Army has launched a vocational training program in association with global software maker Microsoft Corporation in one of the largest exercises to reskill employees in the country.

This step by the Indian Army will equip over a million jawans with viable skills for a second career when they retire from service.

From Economictimes.indiatimes.com:

The initiatives are clubbed under the umbrella Project ‘Samarth’, meaning capable, which has a number of subsidiary projects under it. One such initiative is Project Kshamta designed by Microsoft which offers basic IT training skills through an initial network of 1000 master trainers.

“The training module created by Microsoft is backed by certification from reputed institutions such as Educomp and arrangements are also being made to help individuals secure a job post retirement”, said Chandan Lal, Director Projects, Army Headquarters.
