IIM students to help MPs utilise grants effectively

The students have tied up with the likes of CPI-M8217;s Sitaram Yechury and Arun Shourie of BJP and are planning to rope in some Gujarat-based parliamentarians to draft a guideline for all MPs to spend their grants effectively in future.

8220;The idea was generated during an interaction of students with Sitaram Yechury in Ahmedabad. He suggested that we can do something to help manage the MPLADs,8221; IIM-A student Krishna Chapuri said.

Chapuri, along with his batchmate Vijayendra Haryal and first-year postgraduate programme student Shrijan Pal Singh, chalked out a plan on how to go about it.

8220;Later, I went to Delhi and gave a presentation on the our plan of work, to which Yechury agreed,8221; he said.

They later decided to rope in other MPs also and contacted Shourie.

8220;Shourie has agreed to cooperate in our project,8221; Shrijan said.
