Meri Awaaz Bookmarks: Mr Ashank Desai, a ripoff on ethics

Meri Awaaz Bookmarks: Mr Ashank Desai, a ripoff on ethics:

Mr Ashank Desai is Founder of Mastek Ltd and a respectable name. This person has also been (http://www.scribd.com/full/62266590?access_key=key-1p8h2n1dors1dag7ghuo) a member of Board of Governors (BoG) at IIM Ahmedabad. Together these people are responsible for (http://goo.gl/xh3zO) Conflicts of interest, Prejudiced administration and Non-existant vigilance at IIM, Ahmedabad. Some of these BoG members were careless NOT to attend board meetings or its agenda. Were such people a drain on public exchequer wasting their position on BoG and compromising public welfare thereby?

This entry is no reflection on professional competence of this person. Rather it is only limited to ethical dimensions.

Funded by taxpayer money and student fees, here (http://www.ripoffreport.com/colleges-and-universities/indian-institute-of/indian-institute-of-management-f876c.htm) is a rip-off report in relation to IIM Ahmedabad.

To be specific, here is the small list of ripoffs by this person,
---> Together with other BoG members, this person also conspired to authorize/ condone abuses of office when Secretary to BoG sought and received undue favors (ref -http://my-voice-of-dissent.blogspot.com/2011/02/som-fake-hearing-by-shailesh-gandhi_17.html) from judiciary (a Central Information Commissioner). The issue was disclosure of BoG minutes.
---> This person also helped foist a prejudiced person as Dean and Chief Vigilance Officer of IIMA. Here (http://my-voice-of-dissent.blogspot.com/2011/03/som-conflicts-of-interest-prejudiced.html) is the document addressed to THIS person. Document has remained un-attended. May be too busy.

The blog also claims that these issues have remained unresolved inspite of the best efforts of whistleblower employees. Instead, BoG authorized ‘target practice’ by IIMA officials on whistleblowers. This is serious breach of trust when this person was charged as people’s representative on IIMA BoG.

Actions of Mr Ashank Desai have compromised lives of several families. Please report HERE other abuses of office by this person. Take care.

List of 'First Class Oligarchs' of IIM Ahmedabad. ‘Second Class’ being faculty council (http://goo.gl/Q8iNV). Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859) famously defined the term as, “a class of person, Indian in blood and color, but Colonial in taste, opinion, words and intellect”.

Many of these people have been on board for decades. Such may be considered as part of the malice afflicting IIM Ahmedabad. They have cultivated vested interest in sustaining malice and would be loath against change in status quo.
