Forget the “dabbawallas” of Mumbai; the real heroes are the newspaper delivery boys in Bangalore.
Forget the “dabbawallas” of Mumbai; the real heroes are the newspaper delivery boys in Bangalore.
The graduating class of Gupta College of Management and Technology’s international dual-degree programme conducted a study on the newspaper delivery boys to understand the concept behind the supply-chain management model.
The study underlines the imperative role the delivery boys play as the bridge between the newspaper agents and the readers. Marking the occasion, the institute also honoured the delivery boys.
“Hard work is the principle we follow. We earn close to Rs2,000 a month, which really helps us to meet some extra demands,” said Abhilash V, a newspaper delivery boy who attended the function but also works for an MNC.
Graduation
The first batch of Gupta College of Management and Technology’s international dual-degree programme graduated on Sunday.
The dual-MBA degrees, conferred by Gupta College and International American University (IAU), feature curriculum designed by both institutions, said BS Gupta, the founder of the institute.
“We are affiliated to both the Bangalore University and the IAU. We, however, have Indian faculty teaching both courses but the evaluation is completely different. The IAU course is based on continuous evaluation, which is very different with what Indian universities have to offer,” said Gupta.
Ryan Doan, executive director of International American University, echoed Gupta’s sentiments and added that IAU offers another dual-degree programme with Excel College of Higher Education, Mumbai.
“With our international programmes, we organise the curriculum and the structure. The assessment system is different. We plan the quizzes, the mid-terms and outline the areas that need to be covered. So, it does not make a difference if the students study it in America or India,” said Doan.
However, it will be some time before IAU announces similar partnerships with other colleges in the city.
