Sir Anand Sarup Sahab presented a “Memorandum on Dayalbagh” to the Unemployment Committee of “United Provinces”,
when it held its sittings in Dayalbagh on 13th and 14th of March 1935. This “Memorandum
on Dayalbagh” was subsequently printed in a Supplement to the Dayalbagh Herald
on April 15, 1935.
This Memorandum
with immense foresight states, “But, unfortunately, very few people in India
really care for the development of Industries. The majority of the people are
of the opinion that, India being primarily an agricultural country, the solution
of its unemployment cum poverty problem lies in the improvement of its
agriculture and dairy farms. But this is an absolutely wrong notion.”

| REI Building in all its splendor |
Dayalbagh’s (and
Dayalbagh Educational Institute’s) focus is on helping its community members (and
students) setup and efficiently, ethically and profitably run nano and micro
enterprises and industrial units which provide local employment opportunities with low upfront capital
requirements.
Today, we have Prof. Santi Swarup Kandikonda,
writing about the
“Business Advisory Clinic” of Dayalbagh Educational Institute
that we are all familiar with
which provides guidance to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSMEs)
Entrepreneurs every morning in the Fields.
Prof. Swarup is Professor in the Department of Management,
Faculty of Social Sciences, Dayalbagh Educational Institute (DEI) and Coordinator
of the Business Advisory Clinic.
Warm Regards,
Anurag

On the recommendation of Advisory Committee

Clinic (BAC) was started in the Faculty of Social Sciences, DEI on 4th
September 2005. The Clinic is actively involved in the guidance of Micro, Small
and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) since its inception. The Clinic has handled 10,160+
cases under the Guidance of Revered Prof. Prem Saran Satsangi, Chairman, ACE,

the MBA students every year. Also, the students take up projects and study
problems of Agra MSMEs using various techniques under guidance of the In-charge
Business Advisory Clinic. The Clinic gives advice to clients every day.
