Because MBAs have both the financial as well positional advantage, they have better scope for impacting society and its developmental needs. And, as they ‘charity begins at home’, this value of societal concerns must begin at B-Schools.

Given the hectic schedule of an MBA program, finding time and resource to inculcate social values may be bit difficult but not impossible. Most responsible B-Schools have taken to it naturally. They also have a separate wing to foster such values in students. The results of such value-education would surely be reflected in student-enrichment as well enhancement of respective institutes’ reputation in the business world.

Therefore, this dimension of inculcating societal values in aspiring MBAs assumes greater significance than ever before.
