Dare to Think Beyond— Yet Again with ’s ( ) and ( ) — taking the vision and mission ahead with help of ( ) program!!

At Planman Consulting — IIPM group, we have challenged conventional systems before. We created disruption in past and we're creating disruption now. We are known for being disruptors, and we take pride in that because meaningful change never comes from following outdated paths.

founder Dr. Arindam Chaudhuri is known to have publicly having said it loud for more than three decades that degrees— specially those from Indian UGC/AICTE approved universities and colleges— are not worth more than toilet paper.

& always believed that education was never meant to be limited to classrooms, textbooks and degrees. It was meant to change lives.

Finally after decades of championing this cause, now people across the globe are realizing that traditional education mostly leaves students with formal degrees but little real world readiness. The need for the disruption that was started way back in 1973 by the founder of IIPM group, Dr. Malay Chaudhuri and carried on relentlessly against all odds by Arindam Chaudhuri since 1994, has never been greater.

Employers today seek leaders, problem-solvers, communicators and globally aware individuals-not just degree holders— and that’s where our more than two decade old — Global Opportunity & Threat Analysis program becomes more relevant.

At Planman Group, Make Your Own Destiny- MYOD and Institute of Entrepreneurship, we did not create this model by chance. Since 2008, those who sat in the inner circle with our founder Arindam Chaudhuri, keep hearing that brick and mortar education with physical classrooms will have very limited place in the future of education!

Today, after almost two decades of that, as regular universities around the world officially see fewer students and many face closure — with experts saying nearly half of India’s educational places may shut down by 2030 — ’s ( ) has grown with clear direction and courage. Since our launch in 2022, we have seen the old system break apart and have built the new one instead. As the future of education, we are disrupting education for the next generation of sovereign students: learners who prize autonomy, self-determination, and full ownership of their own education pathways.

We serve students who want to create their own learning path. These students mix free knowledge from apps, AI, YouTube, and open sources with carefully chosen online and live-online certificate programs from the world’s best research universities and teachers (like Harvard, Stanford, and others).

They understand one important truth: in-person classes are only needed when nothing online can replace them. A regular degree, if still required for some formal reason, is best gotten through an affordable and recognized online option. What really counts now is not the piece of paper, but the real ability to think, lead, create, and adapt.

IoE’s short-term certificate programs in association with ( ) bring this new way of thinking to life. Every hour is planned for the highest value and lasting impact — not just passing on information, but creating real changes in your thinking, personality, and view of the world. Students leave not only better prepared for their careers, but also much clearer about who they are and what future they want to build. They are ready to shape their own path, create successful businesses, and help build a stronger, more entrepreneurial nation.

Come join the new education revolution that we at Planman are championing once again!

>>The Founding Director of the IIPM Movement, Dr. Malay Chaudhuri’s 89th Birth Anniversary: The Visionary Who Turned His Tagore Dream into India’s Own Nobel – With ₹1 Crore & ₹50 Lakh Awards

The Union Budget 2026-27 has been presented as a "Yuva Shakti-driven" roadmap, focusing on infrastructure (₹12.2 lakh crore capex at 3.1% of GDP), fiscal consolidation (deficit at 4.3% of GDP), manufacturing boosts, skilling, startups, and sectors like defense, telecom, and green initiatives like Carbon Capture. While it sustains growth signals and emphasizes youth, employment, and long-term stability, many view it as incremental—lacking bold, transformative leaps to truly catapult India toward superpower status by 2047.

In stark contrast, the visionary alternate budgets and ideas pioneered by under Dr. 's guidance (and advanced through Dr. Arindam Chaudhuri’s work) have consistently pushed for radical, committed national transformation—rooted in pro-poor planning, distributive justice, and exponential growth. These aren't mere tweaks; they're blueprints for reclaiming India's pride and potential.

Key contrasts from our recommendations over the years (drawn from IIPM Think Tank - Publications and Faculty Research 20+ alternate budgets, and highly acclaimed books, ‘Planning India’ (1997), ‘The Great Indian Dream’ (2003), and ‘2047: A Roadmap to Beating USA & China’ (2022)):

- Bold Economic Leap vs. Steady Incrementalism — We advocated for aggressive policies to achieve a $150-trillion economy by 2047 via the "Doubling Effect," massive job creation, and purchasing power for all—far beyond the current budget's focus on sustained 6-7% growth.
- Universal Social Security & Equity— Proposals like Basic Universal Income, ₹10 lakh medical insurance for all, housing for all, free/infinite health & education access, and capping wage gaps (e.g., CEO pay ≤3x lowest worker) to eliminate inequality and corruption—more humane and visionary than the budget's targeted schemes.
- Innovative Revenue & Anti-Corruption — Ideas like Vice/Sin Tax (adopted years later by the government), judicial/prison/electoral/media reforms to root out corruption, and radical steps like gender income guarantees—showing foresight and commitment to systemic change.
- Holistic National Vision— Emphasizing eradication of exploitation, universal humanism, sustainability over materialism, and turning India into a global leader surpassing USA & China—contrasting with the budget's pragmatic but less ambitious path.

These ideas stem from Dr. Malay Chaudhuri's profound vision: blending national economic planning with entrepreneurship, barefoot management, and a pro-poor agenda that ensures education for all, equitable income distribution, and social security. His establishment of IIPM in 1973, the Great Indian Dream Foundation, and concepts like Life Style Parity have inspired generations to think beyond the ordinary—creating a movement for a truly rich, proud India.

What we teach today, others adopt tomorrow. Our alternate budgets weren't reactive; they were prophetic calls to a bolder, more inclusive destiny.

Grateful to build on the legacy of Dr. Malay Chaudhuri—a true architect of India's potential. His timeless vision continues to light the way toward 2047 and beyond 🇮🇳
