"It's a great thing. All the students who are doing the four year course after 12th standard are doing a brilliant thing. Indian colleges, fortunately or unfortunately, don't really offer any scope for some good education. It's a different, innovative course. I am very bullish on this course. "

“The pioneering and rich variety of liberal courses at FLAME aim to develop the ability to ‘join the dots’, the essential quality of leaders. In any case, even to survive one needs this ability in loads in today’s hyper ‘cyber’ world.”

“I was truly impressed with the approach FLAME is following for a holistic education in the field of management. I truly believe that a narrow ‘business’ oriented curriculum with emphasis on tools and techniques of improving performance is not adequate for building a competent manager and a durable business; and certainly not for improving the well being of the communities and the nation at large. Education which encourages independent thought, creativity, as well as offers experiences in a variety of vocations, skills and activities, contributes substantively to the making of a proficient manager and at times an entrepreneur. Besides this multi-faceted approach, the issue of corporate governance and ethics is also an extremely important aspect that needs to be incorporated while training candidates for successful careers in management.
I was encouraged to see that FLAME tries to incorporate all these aspects, including experiences in movie-making, fine arts, developmental work and adventure sports in their training programmes for holistic education; besides of course the fact that they have accomplished faculty from various professions, and of course a very pleasant campus ambience.”
Kishor Chaukar, Managing Director, TATA Industries |
