ISM’s India office, based in Ahmedabad, India, has recently introduced communications program to ensure that all employees of ISM are fully versed in English, which eliminates the language barrier to clients. The medium of communication is introduced as English in the entire office globally. ISM’s CEO Divan Dave states, “The Economy Times reports that less than 5% of Engineer Graduates in India are employable in the global economy. One of the prime reasons for such a meager number is the communication barrier these graduates face.” ISM has introduced a communication and an English mastery program to irradiate such issues. Employees do not have to face obstacles presented by the English language, by addressing the problem, workers can produce more results. “We want to achieve 100% productivity from 100% of our employees.”- Divan Dave
The Ekal Vidyalay Foundation, www.ekalvidya.com, is a charitable organization that helps build schools in rural India. India’s illiterate population continues to grow and this organization hopes to eradicate illiteracy in the years to come. By creating non-formal education institutions, India can rise above the minimal level of learning for students and come together as a nation by fighting the education barrier its students and people face. People have the ability to sponsor schools by donating just $365, dollar-a-day, to the cause. ISM/OmniMD took an active role by sponsoring many schools, which is one step forward in fighting illiteracy in rural India. Divan Dave CEO of ISM/OmniMD believes, “Illiteracy is a sin. In the world of words, an illiterate is completely blind. We’re all connected. We are one large family. A Single person left behind impacts all of us.” While certain segments of India progresses tremendously, many in remote villages are left behind. The foundation hopes to acquire enough funds to operate 100,000 non-formals schools in the rural parts of India by 2011. It would be a great achievement to be able to eliminate illiteracy in India as a much as possible. ISM/OmniMD supports Ekal Vidyalay – “one teacher school to eradicate Illiteracy from India.”
Stephen R. Corey’s popular, top-seller, self-help guide, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, teaches individuals to achieve effectiveness in all aspects of life by following a road to success. The 7 Habits have been introduced into the work place by CEO of ISM/OmniMD Divyang Dave. “We want to develop dynamic employees, who are making not only ISM/OmniMD but society/community and the world at large a better place to live in,” explained Divan Dave. While visiting ISM’s India office Mr. Da’ve taught the The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People to all the company’s employees in four sessions. By introducing the book to workers, they can be able to reach their fullest potential in the work environment by overcoming obstacles they may be facing. “This book is an achievement and it is so fundamental because it touches root that if introduced 1,000 years back, it might have become a religion with the 7 habits as its core creed,” said Divan.
