This organisation which projects itself to be driven by people and its values has backfired more than 300 of its dedicated employees. They claim Covid 19 created shortages in Fund to upkeep the staff. But it was purely driven by mismanagement of their spending and budget allocations. Piramal Board cannot stake livelihoods of the very employees who have been working relentlessly to ensure the reach and impact of their social commitments. Never recommend anyone to be a part of such shallow organisations which cannot even run their programs until its maturity....Read More

Worst, business minded philanthropy, no value for employees. They fired many employees in the beginning of COVID -19, They don't have money to support there employee but donated 25 crore in PM Care fund. Office politics and slow HR divison is the worst experience.

Dislikes

Everything, no working ethics To space of growth , lots of micromanagement by corporate management turned development professionals.

I supported the district education system and its associated stakeholders and targeted the basic school process to improve the student's learning outcome continuously for 23 months. Some of the projects undertaken were - Learning Enhancement Program(LEP), Accelerated Learning Program (ALP), School Transformation Roadmap (STR), conducted twice district level assessment program for the students of government schools etc. The two years of Gandhi fellowship was an amalgamation of learning, joy and pride. It was an opportunity to strengthen Government education system by enhancing their leadership skills of stakeholders for improving the ultimate students learning outcomes of the district. I worked with Block Education Officer (BEO), Block Resource Person (BRP) and 23 Cluster Resource Co-ordinators (CRCCs) and made plan through meetings and workshops for their schools from time to time. I worked with 199 Headmasters and 1947 teachers for 86,000+ students of 83 (41 primary and 42 middle) government schools in one the 18 blocks of the district. Since the last 2 months of the fellowship was affected due to covid-19 outbreak where everything was shut down. In that situation I took it as an opportunity and worked on creating awareness among senior citizen to prevent the spread of coronavirus through the campaign called Surakshit Dada Dadi Nana Nani Abhiyan (SDDNN) which was highly appreciated by NITI AAYOG. It was a laborious journey of two years where I learned problem solving approach, Stakeholder management, resource mobilization, decision making, negotiation, Public speaking, Government Liasoning, risk taking, design thinking and strong ground implementation....Read More

Likes

People centric approach and transparency

Dislikes

Even after fast expansion, the organisation still highly dependent on subjectivity regarding decision about the carrier growth decision of individuals (this is about PFEL specifically). This is because of ambiguities regarding individuals KRAs and vagueness in vision and objectives of the programs. Highly relying on PPTs and data/figures and not emphasizing on real impact or change through the programs is a weekness according to my understanding. (Everything about PFEL only)...Read More
