The London School Of Economics - LSE and the Mumbai School Of
business -MSB have established Discover India Program
, a pilot program from 28 March 2011 to 11 April 2011
, where LSE graduates were in India for two weeks, that
exposed LSE students to Indian culture and its context
.
Purpose of the Exchange: The program for March 2011 gave
students from LSE an opportunity to visit India, visit
some of its historical sites, meet a few leaders from
Indian industry and politics and academia and interact
with some faculty and students at MSB . The program was
intended to enhance and broaden students' graduate experiences,
provide opportunity to live in another culture, and give
them a glimpse of a different cultural context. We arranged
the following to get them a glimpse of the Positives of
Indian Culture and Tradition in diversity.
• A short talk from a local government official or
MP about local politics and what issues are important
at the moment for Indian voters etc.
