SAP Labs management experts in Leadership Village
“The present system of education is more or
less futilefor the Indian villages. It has no relevance to Indian life, much
more less to the rural life. It has to suit the needs of the rural society, it
shall have to be reorganized and change in many respects.”

Leadership Village celebrated its fourth anniversary of inception
in Wayanad, one of the least developed districts of Kerala State, India. As
part of the celebrations, which was aptly christened “Gramothsavam 2012” – Festival of the Villages, a group of expert
managers from the world`s largest software and development organization SAP
Labs reached Wayanad to learn about the management strategies applied by LV and
also to train the students and help develop LV with further planning.
The SAP team was led by Mr.Sabareesh, the only malyalee of the
team. The team spent two days in Wayanad to research about LV. The event is
first of its kind in Wayanad as it explored novel pathways of communication and
leadership.
The Leadership Village project was founded in Wayanad by the world renowned leadership thinker and author Sangeeth Varghese, journalist and trainer Laila Saein and educationist and communication trainer Anil Emage in 2009. The driving force behind Leadership Village is LeadCap - Bangalore and AFRC INDIA – Wayanad. The project was started with the noble aim of identifying and developing the leadership and management skills of students in the villages of Wayanad.
Holding strong to the words of the father of our nation, Mahathma Gandhi, “India lives in its villages” Leadership Village has entered its fourth eventful and adventurous year of existence. Member of Legislative Assembly Shri.MV Shreyamskumar inaugurated the project in 2009.
“Gramothsavam 2012’ was conducted in the first ever high school in Wayanad, S K M J High School. As part of the celebrations panel discussions involving SAP Labs managers, LV trainers and YLPs were held. Through Living Libraries, a leadership tool developed by Leadership Village, the managers interacted with the young dynamic and vibrant village students freely, without barriers.
During the programme children and SAP managers performed various village art forms. On 25th May the Jubilee Hall of S K M J High School witnessed the union of a miniature India. The future of Leadership Village and its incomparable Young Leaders training Programme strengthened and reached to a higher level with the Outbound programme and the entire team behind LV is looking forward to further developments.
