GOING PLACES

As news of work done in Millennium Mams, Kolkata spread to other cities requests for conducting these classes kept pouring in - especially from Delhi. So the Directors decided to conduct a short and intensive course over weekends in October 2005.

THE DELHI WING

THE COURSE

The course was compressed into 16 sessions over a period of two and a half months. The students were asked to start reading a financial newspaper to get acquainted with common terms. Then they moved onto understanding macro-economy, industries, investment trends, government policies, global trends and their impact, accountancy procedures, balance sheets, budget and the like. 

THE CLASS

The students are housewives who want to learn about finance, economy and other related topics.

CLASS PATTERN

The class is divided into groups and the students meet regularly to discuss what has been taught in class. This enables them to help each other understand the subject better and to clarify doubts. 

UNIQUE FEATURE: A student once and a student for life!

In addition, there is a follow up series of classes conducted after a gap of around 3 months. This follow up session builds on concepts taught during the two and a half month course. Again the fundamental precept of “once a student always a student ".

CLASS ACTIVITIES

Each capsule ends with presentations made by the students. Some of the topics included so far have been Dollar vs other currencies of the world, oil shock, team Manmohan Singh, 8 % GDP Growth, Warren Buffet.

STUDENT SPEAK:

“Though the leap from ‘Delhi Times’ to ‘Economic Times’ has been arduous, we have survived” – says one of the Mams at Delhi.
