| This has been established, as an institution of Marwar Education Foundation, jointly with Spandan Foundation for Human Values in
Management & Society, Chandigarh/Hyderabad. |
| |
| Spandan, as a word in Sanskrit, means heartbeat, vibration, pulsation and echo. Spandan, as a concept, postulates that faith in the
innate divinity, basic goodness and intrinsic altruism of human beings which have been the driving forces for human existence,
growth and development. Based upon the said faith, Spandan as a movement strives for facilitating management and organizations
develop a sensitivity capable of understanding the needs of others even ‘without being asked’ – like that of a Mother. When such
sensitivity of caring, sharing and nurturing becomes integral to work ethics and culture, the organisation is able to moderate the
task with humaneness. The result is a Functionally Humane Organisation - a committed group of human beings doing their best in
the interest of THEIR organization. |

| Spandan is a Society formed by a small group of industrial organizations, management institutions and individuals from all over
India lead by Prof. G. P. Rao, formerly of IIM Calcutta, for propagation and inculcation of human values in management and society.
Propagation is primarily through teaching, research and training ; and, inculcation through a 3-D Process of Diagnosis, Discovery
and Development wherein select human values are anchored to the Mission Statement of the organization and integrated to
its HRD and Strategic Management. The assumption and experience is that such an integration enables the organization attain an
optimal balance between Results and Relations. Higher employee commitment and productivity, better team spirit and mutual
understanding, greater sensitivity and appreciation of management problems, and increased accommodative spirit during hard
times, have been some of the consequences of such balance between head and heart. |

| In addition to organizing a number of activities and doing research work in the areas of ethics, values and corporate social responsibility
(CSR), this Academy will also conduct specialization programmes in the said and allied areas. |
