Fostering Excellence in Non-Profit Leadership
A new Postgraduate Diploma in NGO Management was launched by Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence (SSSUHE) under the auspices of NGO Miles. This pioneering programme offers a unique blend of management, innovation, leadership, entrepreneurship, and sustainability.
A New Era in Management Education
The formal launch event was presided over by Sri Vinod Poddar, renowned industrialist and philanthropist, and featured an esteemed panel of guests, including Professor Mallikarjun V Alagawadi, retired head and dean of the School of Business Studies, and Sri Utanka Sarma, head of alumni relations at IIM Bangalore. The event was marked by the auspicious lamp lighting ceremony, followed by an address by Sri B N Narasimha Murthy, Chancellor of SSSUHE, who congratulated the first batch of 12 students, comprising six boys and six girls on their selection.
From Theory to Practice
In his benedictory address, Sri Madhusudan Sai emphasised the importance of practical learning and applying management principles in daily life and work. He also highlighted the spiritual foundation on which all knowledge, skills, and abilities should be built and given purpose. Sri Madhusudan Sai fondly recalled his own journey as a management student, crediting his knowledge in management for his success in leading the Sri Madhusudan Sai Global Humanitarian Mission. He urged the students to study with practical understanding and blessed them that he would periodically interact with them by teaching them each chapter of his book, ‘God Management’.
This launch marks a significant step forward in the mission’s commitment to empowering individuals to shape a better tomorrow. With its emphasis on practical learning and spiritual foundation, NGO Miles is poised to inspire a new generation of leaders and changemakers.
