Discussion ForumDISCUSSION FORUM : Decision Making8/13/2021The Discussion Forum at Narmada College of Management met on 13th August, 2021. The session was about Decision Making. Decision making is often a difficult task for many of us. We all make decisions all the time, ranging from routine issues like what to wear, what to eat for lunch, up to the most critical decisions of life like where and what to study, where to work and whom to marry. In simple words, decision making means to choose between two or more courses of action. In the context of problem solving it involves a choice between possible solutions to a problem. Some people avoid making decisions by endlessly searching for more information or getting other people to offer their recommendations. Others resort to decision-making by taking a vote or tossing a coin. However decision making is a thoughtful process and decisions can be made through either an intuitive or reasoned process, or a combination of the two. Dr. Shah had three questions for all the participants to think upon. 1. What are the problems and issues in decision making? 2. In your life which is the best decision you have taken so far? Which decision you regret the most? 3. What are the important decisions managers are required to make in their respective domains? Each participant gave their respective response on the above questions.0

Venue: NCM Conference Hall
Time: 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM

The HR Skill Council organized an insightful expert lecture series at the NCM Conference Hall. The session was conducted by Dr. Mahesh Vashi, HR & Site Head at Colourtex Industries Pvt. Ltd., a prominent figure with extensive experience in Human Resource Management.
The session aimed to provide students with practical knowledge about key management functions, effective communication, and the importance of organizational vision and strategy. The lecture also included valuable insights on aligning resources, building relationships, and achieving desired outcomes in the workplace.
The session began with an introductory speech by Harshita Srivastava (Student), who welcomed the guest speaker and highlighted his vast experience in HR and Industrial Relations (IR). She emphasized the importance of learning from experienced professionals like Dr. Mahesh Vashi to gain insights into real-world HR practices.
 Dr. Mahesh Vashi began his lecture by explaining some fundamental concepts related to communication, management, and organizations.
• Communication: Defined as the intersection between ideas, messages, and information.
He stressed the importance of effective communication in building strong relationships within organizations.
• Management: Described as a systematic way of carrying out activities in the field of human effort.
He highlighted that effective management requires discipline, proper planning, and strategic decision-making.
• Company: Defined as a group of people working together to achieve a common goal.
 Dr. Vashi emphasized that success comes from doing what you love and encouraged students to find a career they are passionate about.
He quoted:

" No one can succeed in work which he or she does not like so my advice to you is, find what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for doing it."

Dr. Vashi highlighted key management functions :
1. Utilization of available resources
2. Forming a Vision
3. Planning the strategy to realise the vision
4. Leadership & Team Building
5. Developing Human Resource
6. Delegation
7. Motivation

Dr. Vashi highlighted three key management functions essential for organizational success:
1. Utilization of Available Resources:
He introduced a simple yet effective formula:
R1 (Resources) + R2 (Relationships) = R3 (Results)
He shared the example of the Mahabharata, where Arjuna and Duryodhana approached Lord Krishna for support during the war. Arjuna chose Krishna's guidance (leadership), while Duryodhana chose Krishna's army (resources).

Networking and collaboration were also crucial aspects of HR, as we understood the importance of building meaningful professional relationships. He advised us to keep a close watch on the company’s portfolio and ensure its alignment with organizational goals and objectives. The focus should be on three things: storytelling to team members, recognition and bring one to one. Both the experts shared live experiences of situations faced by them and how they solved. There was a Q&A session at the end of the session where students cleared their doubts and gained more knowledge. Overall, the session reinforced the importance of being proactive, adaptable, and people-oriented in HR.

The objective of a guest session on "The Joy of Pursuing Impossible Dreams" was to inspire and empower students to embrace ambitious goals, overcome obstacles, and cultivate a resilient mindset.
Details of Event: –
Sir Hemant Kher started session with a thought “If a man learns to learn, he can learn everything”. He is a Multi tasker and never said no to do any work. He added that anything if one does repeatedly again and again, he/she become perfect in that. He encouraged to do something which is impossible and emphasized on psychological practice rather than physical practice.
He gave three tools: 1) Listening, 2) Observation and 3) Practice.
He said that one may face many resistances in the way of finding uniqueness in inner state. These resistances arise from both internal and external forces that make it difficult to embrace individuality. To overcome these resistances, one must develop self-awareness, practice courage and cultivate the mind set of self-acceptance.
According to him, best version of creativity is to surrender oneself because creativity flows effortlessly when we let go off control, expectation and fear.
He suggested that “learn to listen rather than learn to speak”. This principle highlights that power of deep understanding over mere expression.
He believed that “There is nothing in this world that we can’t do”. It indicates that boundless potential of human being.

He shared two options and may work on it – I) Do whatever you enjoy & II) Enjoy whatever you do. This statement focuses on two fundamental approaches to happiness and success.

Understanding Critical Thinking:
Speaker began by defining critical thinking and its significance in academic and professional settings. Participants were encouraged to question assumptions, evaluate evidence, and consider alternative viewpoints. Practical exercises were conducted to demonstrate critical thinking methodologies.
Examples of successful innovative initiatives in various industries were shared, emphasizing the link between critical thinking and creative solutions. The speaker highlighted the need for a mindset that embraces change and promotes curiosity.
Session also included interactive activities where students collaborated in small groups to brainstorm innovative solutions to real-world problems.

He started with making audience understand the difference between man and animal to which his opinion was there is no difference if human does not use his brain in a creative way. He said that man is here to make world better. He made students introspect by asking few questions like – why are we here? What is the objective of being here? (ex: why we are doing MBA?)



Then he interrogated on what is thinking out of the box? and why can’t humans think outside the box?
To which reply was that Thinking Out of Box means to Think Differently & Creatively and reasons explored during session were –
Hurry to give agreement with the things how they are and not thinking in-depth about them
Lack of curiosity
Less focus towards objective
Mind set (limitation is just in our mind).
To make audience convinced, he gave following phrase – “The challenge is not to create new idea, The challenge is to escape the old idea”.
He encouraged and suggested students to practice following ways to think outside the box.
1. See and appreciate creativity:
He asked student to collect their wow movements of life. If one collects and capture their best movements, they will always be motivated towards doing things again. Collect 50 such wows.

2. Same things – different way:
We don’t need to do big things for boosting creativity in us, but need to think and do same things in a different way.
3. Observe obvious- do unobvious:
Pay attention to things and incidents in front of us. Notice such things that most people overlook and take actions that are unexpected, innovative.
4. Solve puzzles:
He pointed that we can solve or play puzzles for better mind power and creative thinking. The puzzles make our minds think in a broad way.
5. Reverse thinking:
He suggested that one should develop skills of Reverse thinking, which is a creative problem-solving technique where you examine the opposite of your goal or the problem to generate novel solutions or avoid potential pitfalls.
6. Generate alternative:
Our brain is train to take shortcut, so we need to avoid shortcuts and generate alternatives for better decision making
7. Know your strengths:
One should work on his /her strengths better, where one should identify area in which one is good at, know & observe oneself, experience different things and then select the best.
8. Improvise:
Always find the scope of improvements in things whatever we do. One should try to do little bit better or more then what one is doing right now.
Finally, session ended by sharing that “if you keep on Trying what you are interested, it never makes you feel tired”.
Conclusion
The guest session on critical thinking and innovation was a significant step toward equipping students with essential skills for their professional journeys.

Report on Guest Session – Basics of GST
20th September 2025
On September 20, 2025, Narmada College of Management organized a guest lecture on GST,
providing second-year MBA students with crucial insights into one of India's most significant
tax reforms. The speaker for the session was Dr. (CA) Shailendra Saxena.
The primary goal of the guest lecture was to provide MBA students with a comprehensive and
practical understanding of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India. The session aimed to
offer conceptual clarity on GST's structure, its impact on businesses and consumers, and the
latest changes in its tax slabs. This knowledge is particularly crucial for students specializing
in marketing and finance, as it directly relates to pricing strategies, taxation, and financial
compliance.
About the Speaker
Dr. (CA) Shailendra Saxena is a distinguished expert in accounting and taxation. A Commerce
Graduate with a Ph.D. in Financial Management, he is a fellow member of three major
professional bodies: the ICAI, ICMAI, and ICSI. His vast experience includes serving as a past
chairman for regional chapters of both ICAI and ICMAI and currently holding positions on
important committees related to direct and indirect taxes. As a published author and a guest
faculty at the National Academy of Customs, Indirect Taxes & Narcotics (NACIN), Dr. Saxena
brought a wealth of practical and academic knowledge to the session.
The lecture was structured to be both informative and easy to follow. Dr. Saxena covered
several key areas:
 Introduction to GST: Explained the fundamental concept, objectives, and the
historical context of its introduction as a unified tax system.
 Types of GST: Provided a clear distinction between CGST, SGST, IGST, and UTGST
with practical examples to illustrate their application in different scenarios.
 Key Features: Discussed core principles like "One Nation, One Tax" and the
elimination of the cascading effect of taxes.
 GST Registration and ITC: Detailed the process of GST registration, including
threshold limits, and demystified the concept of Input Tax Credit (ITC) and its
benefits for businesses.
 New GST Slabs: A significant highlight was the discussion on the restructured GST
rates. Dr. Saxena announced the abolition of the 12% and 28% slabs, simplifying the
system to two standard rates: 5% and 18%. He also mentioned a special 40% slab for
sin and luxury items and a 0% exemption for essential goods. This provided students
with up-to-date and highly relevant information.
 Challenges and Future Scope: Addressed the practical difficulties of GST compliance
and filing, and discussed its potential for further evolution.
NARMADA COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT
Beyond the technical content, Dr. Saxena shared an inspiring life lesson. He advised students
that success is not just about academic degrees but about developing multiple skills and
practical knowledge. He encouraged them to be continuous learners to build a successful and
meaningful career.
The session provided students with crucial insights, including:
 A deeper understanding of GST's structure and its operational mechanics.
 Awareness of the latest tax policies and their impact on pricing.
 Real-world knowledge of how businesses manage GST compliance and its effects on
supply chains.
 The realization of the importance of taxation for management professionals.
The guest lecture by Dr. (CA) Shailendra Saxena was a highly valuable and enriching
experience. It successfully transitioned the students' understanding of GST from theoretical
concepts to practical, real-world applications. The discussion on the newly introduced GST
slabs was particularly timely and provided the students with current industry knowledge. The
interactive nature of the session and the speaker's engaging delivery made a complex topic both
accessible and interesting. The college extends its sincere gratitude to Dr. Saxena for his
expertise and to the management for organizing this beneficial event.

________________________________________
Narmada College of Management along with Bharuch District Management Association (BDMA) organized an insightful guest lecture featuring Mr. Apurva Pandya, a renowned corporate trainer and emotional intelligence expert. The session, titled "Success Redefined," aimed to shift the audience's perspective from traditional, metric-heavy definitions of success toward a more holistic, sustainable, and mentally healthy approach to professional and personal achievement. Major points highlighted by the speaker in his session are :

________________________________________
1. Beyond the Numbers: Holistic Success
Mr. Pandya argued that success has been narrowly defined by wealth, status, and titles for too long. He proposed a "Balanced Scorecard" for life, which includes:
• Mental Well-being: The ability to remain calm under pressure.
• Quality of Relationships: Success is hollow if there is no one to share it with.
• Physical Vitality: Health as the fundamental currency of high performance.


2. The Role of Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
A significant portion of the lecture focused on how high EQ often outweighs IQ in long-term career satisfaction. Mr. Pandya highlighted:
• Self-Regulation: Managing triggers in a high-stress corporate environment.
• Empathy: Building "human-centric" leadership models that foster loyalty and innovation.
• Resilience: Redefining "failure" not as an end, but as a necessary data point for growth.
3. Inner Peace vs. Outer Achievement
Addressing the rising rates of burnout, the speaker emphasized that true success is the "attainment of peace while pursuing excellence." He provided practical strategies for "Emotional Mastery," such as:
• Practicing mindfulness to combat overthinking.
• Setting healthy boundaries to protect personal time.
• Focusing on process-oriented goals rather than just outcome-oriented ones.

The lecture concluded with an engaging Q&A session where attendees discussed the challenges of maintaining work-life balance in a competitive market. Mr. Apurva Pandya’s insights left the audience with a powerful realization: True success is measured not by how much we have, but by who we become in the process.
The event was a resounding success, reinforcing NCM and BDMA’s commitment to providing high-quality professional development and personal growth opportunities for the students
