The Plan Man

Set to launch his book Discover the Diamond in You this month,this is one of the three books he has been writing simultaneously. While the other two focus on research and marketing strategies,informing on this one,he says,“I have concentrated on our institute’s core philosophy where diamond is a metaphor for success and you need to chisel it through good education,describing nine Ps like principles,personality,patriotism and so on. Also privatising education will deliver results and students will encompass quality learning. It is definitely necessary that more and more institutes come up,the best will retain since eventually,market neutralises everything.”

Having launched a consultancy firm and a motion picture company as well as working for supplementary education at primary level in West Bengal and Orrisa,he feels a lot needs to be done in this sector. “Students in our country are educated in a manner that is unemployable. The question is who will regulate our regulators? For case in point AICTE,UGC have fooled students and have done immense corruption. Reservations are there since decades,because no one is willing to revamp the primary level for equivalent education. Whatever Kapil Sibal has done,is exciting and interesting and is most welcome but he must also strive at the basic level.

Having produced films,Chaudhuri is now scripting a film that is in its initial stages adding,“It is based on a historical event and shows the spirit of survival although it is too early to reveal more. Recession gave us ample time to divert towards other things and that’s when I have been writing the books and the script. Besides this the slowdown also taught all of us a lesson,that good times do not last forever and the basic management principle of utilising resources cautiously.”
