FMS Delhi to
host Pakistan B School Students
Faculty
of Management Studies, Delhi, the pioneer in management
education in India, has taken its quest for excellence
and innovation across national boundaries by forging
a relationship with the Lahore University of Management
Sciences (LUMS), Pakistan.
The FMS Delegation to LUMS returned back to India with
a wealth of insights and experiences in December. The
aim of the visit was to give the students a holistic
experience, rather than a purely academic one; the students
therefore returned with a better understanding of the
life of a management student in Pakistan, as well as
of the rich culture of Lahore.
The New Year brings with it an opportunity
to make the bond established between the students of
the two premier B-Schools even stronger! FMS is playing
host to the LUMS Delegation which has reached Delhi.
This is the first ever visit by Pakistani B-School students
to India, and signifies how Higher Education is becoming
the new face of diplomacy.
Dr. Syed Zahoor Hassan, Dean, LUMS
had visited FMS last year. One point of difference that
he had noted between management education in India and
Pakistan was that while the Indian system was more geared
towards corporate placements, in Pakistan, there was
a strong emphasis on Family Business Management. The
LUMS Delegation will now provide a student perspective
on the similarities as well as differences in education
as well as other aspects of life in India and Pakistan.
As part of their stay in India, the
students will attend lectures on Strategy, Marketing
et al in FMS to learn more about the life of a B-School
student in India. Interactions with the Dean as well
as other Faculty Members are also on the cards. The
Delegation will visit Red Fort, Jama Masjid, India Gate,
Qutub Minar as well as other places of historic importance
in Delhi, apart from visiting Agra. To get a better
understanding of Contemporary India as well as its Youth,
the Delegation will also visit multiplexes, malls and
so on.
Students at FMS have welcomed this
opportunity wherein they get a chance to return the
hospitality and warmth that they received during their
stay in Lahore.
We would like to invite you to the
FMS campus to interact with the Delegation. Interviews,
Q&A sessions, television coverage, participation
in television talk shows etc can be tentatively scheduled
for 10th and 11th January.
