It is perhaps not necessary to criticise when a concept (IIM K) is indeed good. Nevertheless, you have chosen the other way but the only pain is that you have not tried to explore the details besides the article reflects too deliberate a stance to malign the image of the institute and the programmes it is running. Firstly, the Institute is not whole heartedly associated with the Dalit Upliftment projects (Known as Centre for Excellence in collaboration with Kerala State) but it is only the need to associate while infact two age old professors namely Prof. Wilson Mackkaden and Prof. Namboodri only have been involved in the teaching and soft skill training to such students (Unfortunately Prof. Wilson succumbed to an accident two weeks ago). Moreover some interested students (very few) too sometimes on weekends used to spare time out of their busy schedule till last year only to impart some training.Therefore do not consider a very small initiative at such magnitudes so as to colour the entire institute as a social service institute aka social research wing. Secondly, the non metro and non-industrial location of the Institute does not render the teachings and students capabilities redundant and certainly do not render the institute incapable of attracting and marketing talent. Thirdly whether you want the industry to come to you or the other way which is the most easier and perhaps would cause all IIMs in Gujarat, Maharashtra and where yourself say only. Meaning every best thing will be a part of the already best. I really feel that yourself may kindly indulge into the practice of evolving a nation and not states and please use such platforms to allow and lead the government resources to an equitable distribution as the present policies are and not confront them unnecessarily which would otherwise lead us to the conclusion that your motives are coloured.
