3 Nov, 2007
Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH) Greater Noida organized an event with a theme –"Chak De i.e. Team Building & Leadership". Students of BIMTECH are convinced that it is a very successful management case study, which has created ripples in the corporate world, as the theme is something which people can relate to. The multi- cultural diversity and its attendant problems, the work place politics and finally the triumph of ethics and commitment of the team over all odds, make it look like a fairy tale come true.
Learning made effective
Dr. H Chaturvedi, Director, BIMTECH speaking at the event said, "To make learning more effective, we should always evolve innovative ways in teaching. Chak De is a very stimulating film, and BIMTECH has used it efficiently to convey the principles of management studies. BIMTECH has taken special permission from the producer - Yash Raj Films to use the clippings of the film at the event."
Dr. Chaturvedi further added, "To delve into the psychology of a man of ordinary prudence like the coach, Kabir Khan, in Chak De India, who rises to the pedestal of a leader and leads a team of unruly, wrangling girls to become world champions. BIMTECH takes the initiative of bringing together luminaries from different backgrounds to share their views and experiences. This is basically an effort to dwell on issues related to the role of a leader in building a team: inculcating team spirit and motivating all members to commit them towards achieving excellence."
Dr. Kiran Bedi, PS & DG BPRD - "Chak De! India is a very motivational movie…. The film, is based on a real-life story and that always makes a deeper impact on the students and on the general public too. They can relate to it and apply it in their daily life.
