MTHR Organises Lectures on its 10th Anniversary Celebration

Continued... The events in Bengaluru (24th May) and Mumbai (27th May)
featured the renowned author and educational consultant, Tony Buzan, best known for his concept of ‘mind mapping’.

He shared some valuable insights into the workings of the human mind during the course of his lectures. He said that studies have shown that creativity of a human being is maximum (95+) when in standard KG, drops to 50 when in high school and plunges to 10 as an adult. He said that this is normal, and the natural course should be to make it rise back to its high school level.

Buzan also made some stark observations during his talks saying that the recession of 2008-09, where companies went bankrupt, was essentially due to bankruptcy of the mind. He also said that, whereas the age before year 1750 was Agrarian for 100 years, and the subsequent ones were Industrial, Information and Knowledge Ages, the one after 2007 and continuing is one of the Mind: the Intelligence Age.

Organ Anybody?

Gap Between Demand and Supply

A few years back, the Indian health sector was pummelled by a series of organ smuggling and theft scandals involving the who’s who of the industry. Tales galore came to the fore about doctors who were taking out properly functioning organs without the consent of patients during operations and pushing them onto the illegal organ trade market. Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are the biggest markets in terms of the illegal trade.

One reason for the illegal trade is the failure of the government in promoting legal organ donation. In two years, Tamil Nadu transplant hospitals utilised just 764 organs (Oct 2008 to Oct 2010). The figure is worse in Hyderabad, where in eight years, the figure is just 597 organs transplanted (June 2002 – Sep 2010). Even after over fifteen years of Transplantation of Human Organs Act 1994 being passed, only kidney donations are in practice. Cadaver donations are yet to see the light of day. At present, out of the 1,50,000 patients requiring kidney transplants, only 200 get kidneys by way of donations from the deceased.

M. R. Rao, CEO, SKS Microfinance Ltd.

Launched in 1998, SKS Microfinance is one of the fastest growing Micro Financial Institutions (MFIs) in the world, which has served more than 5 million women members in poor regions of India till date. Of course, the company has been in the news for the wrong reasons following the unceremonious exit of its ex-CEO Suresh Gurumani. Current CEO M. R. Rao talks about the company’s business model and challenges it faces: 

B&E: What is the maximum amount of loan that can be availed and repayment options available?
MR: All members (clients) are eligible to borrow Rs.12,000 depending upon the activity which the member undertakes in the first year of joining SKS Group. From the second year onward, the loan size is increased by Rs.4,000. Loan repayments follow a weekly repayment schedule. All repayments and fresh disbursements happen during the centre meeting, which is held every week at every center. Our loans are given for a period of 50 weeks.

B&E: What kind of problems do you face while repayment of loans?
MR: SKS enjoys a very strong repayment record and our NPAs are negligible. If a member is unable to repay an instalment, the other members in the group/center share the responsibility for the repayment. The few cases of defaults are usually due to migration or due to some natural calamity.

B&E: What are the rates of interest charged by SKS?
MR: SKS works in 19 states. In Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Orissa, we charge a flat rate of interest at 12.5% and in rest of the states, the flat rate is set at 15% currently. In the newer states where we have started, our rates are a little higher at 15% flat and 26% diminishing. We also charge a loan cover fee of 1% that helps us offer insurance for the loan period.
