Mandi Philosophy:
Higher Education students should earn their every day bread
by application of their every day learning ! !
Earning by the students due to application of what they learned leads to learning excellence ! !
It is believed that all kinds / levels of education and learning processes of inherent capacity to help its students to be "Economically Surplus ". Higher education will meet this challenge through innovative design of learning process. It is a matter of conscious design of educational design by the academics.
Mandi Program design:
1. Mandi program involves one day / two days / more than 2 days field work to the students .
2. Students are made to engage in SELECT ECONOMIC ACTIVITY so as to give them an opportunity to practice what they are learning as part of academic curriculum.
3. Usually economic activity that students engage in Mandi field day is CAMPAIGNING of educational toys, books etc. For example, if Mandi is planned for Swami Vivekananda Commemoration Year - then Vivekananda Biogrpahy can be picked up for Mandi field work campaign.
Similarly, if Mandi is planned for Children's Day celebrations, students may be made to campaign Children toys in the market. Further, for Gandhi Jayathi Day - campaigning of Gandhi autobiographies can be taken up.
4. There is NO limit for how many student can be involved in Mandi . As many students as avaialbe can be involved in Mandi.
However, a piece of advice is that make a beginning of Mandi with small number of students may be 200 students slowly and slowly take it involving large number of students
