Dear Dr. Pithadia,
We are pleased to announce GHRDC - CSR B-School Survey 2015, which will be conducted by GHRDC and results will be published in one of the largest circulated magazines in India “Competition Success Review”.
It has been 10 enriching years since GHRDC - CSR B-School Survey started in 2006. We are very grateful to all our stakeholders for their overwhelming response and continuous support over the years, which has been our source of inspiration and we are encouraged to continue with the Survey of B–Schools in India once again this year.
The management educations scenario in India is going through a complex time, while a few B-Schools have been able to make their mark in the global scenario, some are fighting for their survival. We encourage the B-Schools in India to participate in our Survey to be visible and transparent and also benchmark themselves against the best B – Schools in the country.
The unique feature of GHRDC’s Survey methodology takes into consideration the holistic performance of an Institute considering both qualitative and quantitative factors together with relative and absolute value of each factor which provide insights & information of an Institute in all respect. As always we will maintain our key strength and hallmark of transparency, reliability, consistency and validation of data given by the Institutes.
No subjective bias will be allowed to creep in.
The Questionnaire / Datasheet attached covers four broad parameters i.e. (a) Physical and Academic Infrastructure, (b) Faculty and related intellectual capital, (c) Academic programs, curriculum, delivery system and admission and (d) Placement and Industry Interface and due weightage have been given to each factor.
Enclosed please find a copy of Questionnaire / Datasheet for GHRDC–CSR B–School Survey 2015 which may be completed and sent back to us on the address given above along with the enclosures in support of your data provided, before 20th May, 2015.
Please acknowledge this mail and confirm your Institute’s participation in the survey so that we include your institute in our final participants list.
We hope to receive your continued support and patronage in carrying out this important task.
In case you need any further clarification, please feel free to contact us. Please visit our website http://ghrdc.org/

- McCollum bill seeks to protect BWCA from mining
- Iron Range mines must modernize to survive
- Tempest winds lean hard on a century
Posted: 15 Apr 2015 12:19 PM PDT  Yesterday, U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN), representing the St. Paul metro district, introduced legislation that would prevent mining in the same watershed as federal wildernesses like the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA). While that would not affect the proposed PolyMet development in Hoyt Lakes, part of the St. Louis River watershed, it would essentially block the less developed Twin Metals proposal in Ely. Before anyone gets too excited, the bill has no chance of passing either the House or Senate. McCollum did say she hopes to influence the Obama administration to address the matter through the executive branch, though it’s hard to imagine much happening there one way or another. Also this week, the Minnesota Environmental Partnership announced the results of a poll it commissioned about mining. While 72 percent of Minnesotans support traditional iron mining,only 18 percent generally support nonferrous mining near the BWCA. The practice of “sulfide mining,” a term that refers to mining rocks high in sulfur which can create chemical reactions in area waters, has only 26 percent support, with 28 percent opposed and — the statistic of the hour — 46 percent claiming no opinion. These stories are continued salvos in the debate over nonferrous mining (or “sulfide mining,” or “innovate new mining” or whatever you want to call it). With the intense global pressure being placed on iron mining and other commodities, it seems to me that the most likely thing to stop new mining is economic reality. Nevertheless, the battle over the regulatory environment is real. As the poll shows, the debate remains largely confined to mining companies and their political hands, environmentalists and their political hands, a contingent of opinionated campers and naturalists along with the ever-decreasing population of nearby cities. To borrow from the board game “Clue,” in the end the culprit could be Apathy in the Conservatory with the Copper-Nickel Pipe.

Posted: 15 Apr 2015 05:31 AM PDT  Direct-reduced iron pelletsWDIO reported on the Tuesday keynote by Don Fosnacht, director of the Center for Applied Research and Technology Development at UMD’s NRRI. Fosnacht echoed what I wrote last week and that, frankly, has been pretty common knowledge for years: fewer steel mills are using blast furnaces that use taconite pellets, more use electric arc furnaces that require higher grade direct-reduced iron pellets. In other words, when Range mining giants Cliffs and U.S. Steel talk about exploring DRI, they are describing a survival strategy, not light remodeling. This will require major private investment in our mines at a time when iron ore is selling at historically low prices. That’s a tough needle to thread.  The 2015 SME president, Steven Gardner, said that one of the group’s goals for the year is to improve the public’s perception of mining. “You need to be an activist for mining. Use social media. Talk to your friends. Get involved politically.”Because … that hasn’t been happening already (yard signs, TV commercials)? Because … that will raise the price of iron ore? I take a dim view of those who try to assuage fears by demanding loyalty. Keewatin Taconite and MinnTac aren’t idling this summer because we didn’t snap our fingers loudly enough to keep Tinkerbell alive. The industry must modernize to survive, and so must our Iron Range communities. Both face de facto extinction without action.

Posted: 14 Apr 2015 07:26 PM PDT  One of my sons, Douglas, who is 7, has immersed himself into a rather intense period of research and artistic recreation of two subjects this year: the sinking of the Titanic and the Civil War. These topics was his choice and, indeed, the young man has long eclipsed what a maniacal parent could “force” on a child anyway. The other night Doug and I were talking about his Titanic drawings, which have papered the dining room table, kitchen countertops and coffee table for weeks now. Each day he scratches out another five or six, some abandoned for their errant angles, but always one or two good ones. He told me he intends to sell them. Now, most of us remember being kids and hoping that adults would hand over money for something we could create with relatively little personal sacrifice. Actually, that hope never goes away. There are whole professional fields dedicated to that delusion. When I was a kid I remember planning a circus that would involve my sisters and I, a tent and a borrowed dog we presumed could be taught tricks. A couple shows and bam, I’d have a case of baseball cards. Unfortunately, we couldn’t loop in early investors and the dog backed out; as producer, I had to shut it down. With this in mind, I asked Doug who his target audience was. Who are the people buying pencil drawings of this 100-year-old national tragedy for display in their home? His blunt reply came instantly, “Everyone. This touches us all.” He asked me to check around, so I posted the picture on social media and many friends and relatives lined up to get on the buyers list. As one person said, “There’s something about that ship!” Indeed, the Titanic not just a ship that sank, it’s human progress and failure, potential and hubris, all in one. It’s the class system that dominated the movement of Europeans to America. And so was the Civil War. And so was the Dust Bowl. Ruination indeed, and yet we persevere into another generation. (Watch out when Doug’s Titanic art hits the open market). Below, “The Titanic” by the Carter Family: Bob Dylan fans might recognize the Carters tune as the main inspiration for the much longer and more philosophical “Tempest,” the title track for the Hibbing son’s fantastic 2012 album andoccasional inspiration to yours truly.
