FROM GIVING TO
In Focus nspiring others to engage in community service is not just about altruism; it’s a fundamental aspect of effective education and entrepreneurship. Dr Manimekalai Mohan, the visionary Founder of SSVM Group of Institutions, exemplifies this principle through her profound insights. She emphasises that true growth and self-development come from thinking beyond oneself and actively contributing to the well-being of others. Dr Mohan often cites the age-old adage:
“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” This encapsulates the essence of empowering individuals through education and entrepreneurship. Rather than offering temporary solutions, it’s about equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to become self-¬reliant and make lasting contributions to society. Dr Mohan’s philosophy underscores the importance of instilling a sense of agency and purpose in individuals, fostering a culture of empowerment and sustainable community development.
As an educationist and entrepreneur, how do you think we can uniquely prepare students for success in both education and entrepreneurship?
Service learning experiences offer students invaluable opportunities to develop empathy and compassion, essential qualities for success in both education and entrepreneurship. By engaging directly with diverse communities, students gain a deeper understanding of societal challenges and cultivate a sense of social responsibility. These experiences not only enrich their educational journey but also lay the foundation for future entrepreneurial endeavours grounded in empathy-driven solutions. I recognise the power of inspiration in mobilising individuals towards collective action and social change. By sharing our stories of service and impact, we them to drive positive change in their communities and beyond, while also instilling a sense of purpose and fulfilment in their entrepreneurial pursuits.
Could you share a specific strategy or activity you have found particularly effective in encouraging students to engage in self-reflection and how it contributes to their development?
Reflective practices serve as a cornerstone of both educational excellence and entrepreneurial success. I emphasise the importance of self-¬reflection in fostering critical thinking, problem-solving and continuous improvement. By encouraging students to reflect on their experiences, both in the classroom and in real-world settings, we empower them to gain valuable insights, identify areas for growth, and refine their skills. Through reflective practices, students develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their goals, and their impact on the world, laying the groundwork for lifelong learning and entrepreneurial success. Through collaborative efforts and shared vision, we can harness the collective power of education and entrepreneurship to create lasting positive change in our communities and beyond.
can ignite a spark in others, motivating them to contribute their time, talents and resources towards building a more equitable and compassionate society.
Can you share a personal anecdote that highlights the transformative power of mentorship in shaping aspiring leaders?
Of course, mentorship plays a pivotal role in shaping aspiring leaders, guiding them towards success in academia and entrepreneurship. As an educationist, I recognise the transformative power of mentorship in nurturing leadership skills and fostering personal growth. Through mentorship, we witness our students gain access to invaluable insights, practical wisdom and personalised guidance, accelerating their development as effective leaders. By fostering mentorship programmes, educational institutions and entrepreneurial ventures alike can cultivate a culture of continuous learning and mentorship, empowering students to realise their full potential and make meaningful contributions to society.
How do you envision fostering socially conscious innovation among students?
Social entrepreneurship offers a unique avenue for students to apply their academic knowledge and entrepreneurial skills to address pressing social and environmental challenges. I advocate for integrating social entrepreneurship into educational curricula to cultivate a generation of socially conscious innovators. By equipping students with the tools and mindset to create sustainable solutions, we empower
