AFTER Laloo promised to do his bit for management by lecturing at IIM-A, guess who’s next on the guest list? Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
After inviting Union Railway Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav to deliver a lecture about the turnaround saga of the loss-making Indian Railways, IIM-Ahmedabad, one of Asia’s best B-schools, has now sent an invitation to Kumar to address participants of a three-day programme — Participants of Confluence 2006 — to be held in November.
Not just IIM-A students, over 1,000 international students of 20 top business schools from Europe, the US and Far East will listen to the lectures.
The IIM-A has formed a panel of industrialists to advise and design the confluence, an annual event organised by the institute.
IIM-A director Bakul Dholakia said, ‘‘Yes, we have invited Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the confluence. He will be delivering a lecture during the confluence.’’
Laloo recently confirmed that he will be delivering a lecture on September 18. Now, it’s time for Kumar to lecture wannabe managers. Dholakia had written to the CM and requested him to deliver a lecture on November 26.

September 15, 2006, 10:18 am
THE Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) has launched a round-the-clock cleanliness drive in the flood-ravaged areas giving special attention to public places like gardens, parks and railway station, main thoroughfares and all the entry points.
About 8,000 safai workers, including workers hired on daily wages, had been given the task of Surat’s turnaround from Wednesday. The aim is to clean the city, and transform it into “KhoobSurat”, as it was before the floods, on a macro-level.
Municipal Commissioner Pankaj Joshi said, ‘‘Special attention is being given to the entry points, public places, areas within a kilometre of the railway station and main thoroughfares. Our aim is to present a clean image of the flood-ravaged city to the visitors from other states and cities.’’
Joshi said the safai workers have been given the task of performing their duties from 7 am to 2 am. They (safai workers) have been asked to brush up the main thoroughfares where the slush has dried up. Joshi said, ‘‘We have been receiving complaints of dust from the dried-up slush blowing in the winds. For this we have asked the fire department to clean up the roads by spraying water.’’
