3 Idiots soon to be part of Management lessons

The whole idea of education is to make the student competent enough to handle the complexities and adversities of their lives effectively. This is not the issue how this education is given. The issue is that the learning is made so effective that it remains in their minds. New experiments are continuously being done in education sector for ages to convert education into a life long learning. Moreover, application-based learning is always advocated for that will leave an imprint in the mind of participants to last longer.

What is the harm if someone has chosen the medium of cinema to convey a message, which is more efficient and deeply penetrating?

Not only 3 Idiots, there are many other movies in Indian Hindi cinema alone (I am not naming any regional cinema due to my limited awareness about it) like - Chak De India!, Lagaan, Lakshya, Munnabhai MBBS, Swades, a recent flick -Rocket Singh, and even our age-old Mahabharatha, which are full of instances that can be used to teach management principles effectively for one simple reason that the influence of cinema is much on the Indian society. You just need to change your perspective while watching a movie and you could take home one message or two from almost any movie.

Why not? The best way to learn has undoubtedly been through experiences, and the role of audio-video as well as story-telling has never been overlooked in the process of experiential learning. For a long time cinema has given good and bad lessons to the society. It is unfortunate that the significance of cinema as an effective tool for learning had not been recognized yet. Though a couple of experiments about 'learning through movies' had been made of late at smaller levels, but the fact of the matter is that it has to be a Harvard or an IIM to make a management concept worth adoption.

Interesting & Nice Move!!!
