‘Learn management techniques from practical experience’

Dighavkar,who was invited a few months back by the United Nations Organisation to deliver a lecture on resolving village disputes,said,“If the students take efforts to learn as to how we resolved the thousands of disputes in villages little time,they will realise that there is no need to read books for man and management.”

Dighavkar said they had been able to resolve 37,000 village disputes in a few months’ time. “It speaks volumes about the achieving execellence by resorting to practical ways of life.” Quoting Napolean,Dighavkar said over 200 years ago,what Napolean said holds true even today.

“Only a few people work for money,millions works for appreciation and recognition of their effort. Appreciate and recognise the efforts for the committed people. Show them respect and dignity and you will see the result. This is what we did and were successful in untangling thousands of cases which had been pending in our courts for ages,” he said. Pointing out the Shikrapur land case which was pending for 12 years in a court,he said his team was able to resolve the case in a mere four hours.

“This means,if you have the determination,the approach,proper attitude and application of mind,it is not difficult to resolve even the untractable of cases,” he said. Dighavkar said if students become practical and adopt a right attitude,they won’t need to read books on leadership qualities.

“They will be leaders in their own right,” he said. He pointed out that his village resolving dispute mechanism has been able to help save the government Rs 50 crore and litigants nearly Rs 20 crore. “On top of this,we have got an award worth Rs 19 crore,” he said.
