Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad has designed an academic module for the Naropa fellowship –a recently launched program empowering the next generation of Himalayan and Indian leaders.
The Naropa fellowship, comprised of a select group of up-and-coming talents, was established in part by founder of ISB, Pramath Raj Sinha, and Himalayan native Drukpa Thuksey Rinpoche. ISB and Naropa Fellowship are now formally collaborating to educate and inspire the youth of the Himalayan belt with entrepreneurial skills. The “Design Challenge” module in this academic program teaches Fellows how to identify problems in the region, and how to resolve them through creative solutions during their program.
The Himalayan region is beset with challenges not normally seen in other parts of the world. Given its unique geography and terrain, challenges abound in economic and environmental spheres, as well as in issues of scalability, maintenance of public institutions, education, health, and hygiene.
