Industrial Visit to Piaggio An industrial visit organized by Lexicon M.I.L.E. - Management Institute Of Leadership And Excellence for the students of PGDM Batch 18 -20 in order to enhance the practical stimulation of the students. A report was submitted by the students to relate the output of the industry visit held at PIAGGIO VEHICLES PRIVATE LIMITED at BARAMATI. The main objective of visit is to understand the production process of Piaggio. Piaggio is an Italian motor vehicle manufacturer, which produces a range of two - wheeled motor vehicles and compact commercial vehicles under seven brands. The headquarter is located in Pontedera, Italy. In India, the manufacturing plant of Piaggio vehicles is located in Baramati, Maharashtra. A total of 4 brands are manufactured in two- wheeled vehicles at Baramati like Vespa, Aprilia , typhoon and SR- 128. Among these four brands, Typhoon and SR-128 are manufactured for international market. These two brands are exported to Eur ope. The other two brands Vespa and Aprilia are manufactured for Indian market. There are two units under which the two wheeled vehicles are produced and processed Manufacturing, Automation. In a brief, the manufacturing unit involves two processes i.e. welding and painting. At first, the welding process take place under which steel is welded to form a structure that is required. Proper safety measures are undertaken for worker’s safety. After the formation of structure, the parts are transferred to the painting unit. Painting of these parts is divided into 2 segments. One where the steel structure is painted and the other where the plastic structure is painted. Total of 4 layer of paint is coated. First is for the safety of rust, second is of primer, third is of pesto and fourth is clear coat. In this unit extra safety measures are taken which includes masks, gloves, glasses and shoes for all the workers. After completion of this process, the p arts are kept into a blue box to be transferred into automation unit. Automation unit includes assembly of all parts that are pointed to form a finished product. The assembly process is undertaken in a very systematic manner. For example, first the handle is assembled, then horn is placed, then the lights are attached and so on. KINDNESS, COMPASSION ARE EXCELLENT VIRTUES BUT KNOWLEDGE IS MAN’S TOPMOST BEAUTY! 9
All the departments are under proper supervision and adequate safety measures are undertaken in all the units, the coloring process is similar to the four wheeled vehicle coloring. There are total of 2 shifts for the workers and per shift a target of 250 units is set for production. Total capacity of plant is 750 units but according to demand they are now producing only 500 units per day. Total 1700 workers are working in the plant. Assembly of each Vespa takes only 15 minute. The unique selling preposition (USP) for Vespa is to use vibrant and pop up colors to attract and differentiate. Also, the transfer of the parts from one unit to another is very easy process as all the units are connected. The use of conveyer belts is imposed for this transfer. The production is held in a systematic order i.e. welding painting assembling Due to which the production plant has become successful.

Navratri : Significance Gujarat’s Navratri Festival is a “Circle of ecstasy” that excites students with a fusion of dance and devotion. In LMILE this 'Thanganat' was organized on 13th October. All the students and the staff together celebrated this festival with worshiping goddess “Amba” and then did Garba on the melodious tunes of garba songs. Also with batch 1820, seniors and teachers played and this function strengthens the student-teacher relationships and senior-junior bonding. Navratri means nine nights and so the tenth day Goddess Durga, who is worshipped throughout the nine days, is immersed in holy water after pooja. Each and every day has its importance and meaning. People worship Goddess in three forms and try to enhance their physical, mental and spiritual practice in these nine days. It is the divine power that provides energy for the earth to move around the sun, causing the changes in the outer nature and that this divine power must be thanked for maintaining the correct balance of the universe. Due to the changes in nature, the bodies and minds of people undergo a considerable change. Due to climate change & solar influence, the energy level of the body goes up & down. If the energy level is up, Satwa increases, positivity increases. On the result of it, the human becomes dynamic, enthusiastic, creative & happier. When the energy level is down, Tamas increases, negativity increases. So all types of negativity like greed, jealousy, hatred develop in the human’s body.

Students and theire views on exam @Lexicon MILE : Ridhima Examination.........a biggest fear in every student's life that a student remembers forever. Our Lexicon MILE PGDM Batch 2018-20 experienced examination for the first time. I have great experience in these days. I am commerce graduate so these exams are not so tough for me. I had to polish my analytical skills through solving case studies. Quant subject was challenging task for me. Faculty and my friends helped me a lot. I realized about team work, planning and cooperation in preparation during exam days. Overall it was great experience. Kishore Kunal FEAR + LEARNING = EXAM "EXAM”, the moment this word enters your ears, your mind starts calculating the subject’s syllabus, where you stand, how much you have to go with your syllabus etc...... But as a professional, you don't have much time to work on this. One cannot believe in this but this is the fact of Management College. I found the early stages of preparation really interesting as my teacher slowly went through the exam material and explained how different aspects were graded and what he wanted me to aim for. I enjoyed learning the pieces and soon could play them without referring to my books at all. I was struggling with my scales but was determined to have them nailed before long.

Anil Kumar It’s been always hectic for Engineers to be a part of any written Examination, Trust me its challenge for us. We raised ourselves to part of practicality He he! But here at Lexicon MILE for PGDM, from very first day we clarified few things that Examinations are not going to be tough including work Schedule. What else I supposed those days? The same was briefed to me by Director Ma’am Later whenever she saw me on the ground floor studying. It’s charismatic and Immense Learning throughout TRI 1. Same holds for Exam times, studying by remembering Weird Examples and Cramming Procedures and making Abbreviations. Best one was for remembering Henry Fayol’s Administrative Principles as: DUAL DISCO REGU 1. Division of Work 2. Unity of Direction 3. Authority and Responsibility 4. Line of Authority 5. Discipline 6. Initiative 7. Stability of Tenure 8. Centralization 9. Order 10. Remuneration 11. Equity 12. Esprit De Corps 13. General Interest 14. Unity of Command But as simple as possible there is clear Law of Examination by Anonymous Engineer What to study Exam Pressure= No.of Days Left This work still suits best for me... Really a tough call in Accountancy and Research KINDNESS, COMPASSION ARE EXCELLENT VIRTUES BUT KNOWLEDGE IS MAN’S TOPMOST BEAUTY! 18
Methodology. Right now fingers will be crossed until Result. LOL! Shailendra Dubey It's been a great experience here at Management institute for leadership and excellence continuously giving exam's for 10 day's was really a new and thrilling experience. Exams are stressful enough without worrying about having the right notebook I was busy in making and collecting notes Or worrying about finding the right book, or cared about reaching there on time. I was worrying about running out of time while writing exam. As nightmarish as it sounds, this is the story of every student. Working collaborates with each other to learn as much as we can within a single night, arranging important questions and guessing case study that might come. It was really fun, lot of learning, memories and specially the first exam experience at MILE where your small mistake can through you out of the class really a strict conduction of exam was really a good moment to cherish for. Amrut Chandorkar The Exam Season has finally come to an end for the First Trimester. I never thought i would be able to give exams again after working for 3 years and not studying at all during the time. It was like a big burden if i would be able to cope up with the studies at MILE and specially exams. It has been a great first time experience of being in Hostel and studying for exams. The best part being it never use to feel like there is an exam next day and we never used to study. Our studies use to start around 4-5 in the morning till the examination time. Being a B.Sc. student it was very difficult to cope up with Accounts and Economics, and i don't know how but these were the first two exams and it felt like no more burden at all. Over all as the dates were nearing to end syllabus folders were getting deleted day by day and the happiness of doing that was on another level. Finally on the final day paper got finished within an hour and the best paper it was. Despite the minimal efforts put in the end was great and as they say *All's well that ends well* KINDNESS, COMPASSION ARE EXCELLENT VIRTUES BUT KNOWLEDGE IS MAN’S TOPMOST BEAUTY! 19

NEVER JUDGE OTHERS, YOU NEVER KNOW THEIR PART OF THE STORY ! Harsh Chhalotere A teacher was teaching mathematics to few students of nursery he called upon a six year old boy Arnav. He asked “If I give you 2 mangoes and 2 mangoes. How many will you have?” Arnav said 5, the teacher asked again, Arnav If I give you 2 mangoes first and 2 mangoes later. How many will it be? Again he replied 5. The teacher was pissed off but remembered that Arnav’s mom had once said that Arnav doesn’t like mangoes, he likes strawberries. So she changed her example, if I give you 2 strawberries and 2 strawberries, how many will you have? Now he replied 4, oh! The teacher was pleased by the change of strategy. Just to confirm that Arnav had understood his math right. She again asked him “if I give you 2 mangoes and 2 mangoes. How many will you have?” he replied 5, the teacher was annoyed. How can 2 strawberries and 2 strawberries be 4 and 2 and 2 mangoes be 5?Arnav replied I already have 1 mango in my bag madam, who was right? Was the teacher wrong? No, because 2 plus 2 is 4. Was Arnav wrong? No because 2 plus 2 is 4 and 1 mango was in his bag which made it 5. Is it not a fact that all kinds of conflicts come because of the gap between technical and practical rightness. The teacher was technically right. Technical rightness means to see the obvious. Practical rightness means to see what is visible and Arnav was practically right. It means to see beyond the obvious. It means to see beyond what is visibly seen and it means to see the hidden mango. Ladies and gentlemen very often all our conflicts arises because of the gap between the technical and practical rightness. Whenever you find that your spouse does not love you enough, yes you maybe technically right’ He or she may not actually love you that much. But are you practically right? Practical rightness means to see the hidden mango. Why is he or she not loving you? Your child may not be listening to you and may be you are technically right, but are you practically right? Practical rightness means trying to see the hidden mango beyond the obvious. Why your child is not behaving right, the next time you see someone not fitting into your definition of what is technically right. Please do not be judgmental, Go beyond the obvious, Go beyond what you can see and try to look the hidden mango which will truly help you to understand the person and resolve the conflicting situation that you are in. thank you!

Respecting Women ! Rishi Mukherjee Woman, fountain of life is denied a place in social life Women in the world has lot of posts to hold in life of an individual such as mother, without whom existence of people in this universe is not possible, wife who acts as a backbone of an individual till the last breath of their partner, sister who go to any extent to pull out their brother from the entrance of hell and many other roles to play which cannot be expressed in words. Still the situation of those godly figures is worst once they are trapped by any kind of mental health problem as their families for whom the women sacrificed their life are now ready to sacrifice that godly figure just to maintain "so called" social reputation. When the world is talking about development, innovations and breaking shackles of orthodox mind set, the shocking condition of women comes to mind where the family cannot accept their own daughter if she is raped, not a single man is ready to marry a rape victim.Family of girls is believed to pay heavy dowry just to maintain social reputation. In this era of technology, people think that it is the women who are responsible for birth of a girl child or a boy child. Families are not ready to adopt an orphan child even if the couple is infertile. And they create pressure on women by saying "apna khoon apna hota hai". People have a mindset that only girl can be infertile not the boy even after the proof given by medical science that in India it is 50:50 ratio of infertility among men and women. India is a place where ministers or we can say that so called responsible citizens of the country who make and amend laws defend boys for rape saying "ladke hai, rape ho jata hai". A country where women goddesses are worshiped, this kind of reality is hard to believe. Women become easy prey to the society just because of orthodox mindset of people living in the country. If we take a close look at all these situations we can conclude that most of these things happen in our country, just to maintain social reputation and because of "social stigma" attached to the mindset of people of the country.

Around the world HE, IRON MAN IS OUR SARDAR!: THE TALLEST, THE GRANDEST The one who won over British leaders in the Satyagrah of Kheda and Bardoli, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was the Bismarck of Modern India, who led the welfare of farmers. He is renowned as the architect of independent India, as he united all diverse 562 princely states to build one great Republic of India. Shri. Narendra Modi decided to pay honorable tribute which will be cherished for centuries by the whole world and it will become a matter of pride for every Indian for this great man. Built in less than five years, it is the world’s tallest, grandest and giant statue. It is a tribute to the man who united India, Sardar Patel. The Statue will stand high, not just in meters and feet, but much more in terms of academic, historical, national and spiritual values. My vision is to develop the place as a source of inspiration for ages to come. Much before his foray into the freedom struggle one can see the force of his iron will power in his passionate pursuit of law as a career. Gifted with an ingenious mind, Sardar always wanted to become a barrister. However, in those days, to realize this dream, one had to go to England. Having been born to a common farmer's family, he had no financial means to join a college even in India, let alone travel to England. However, such hindrances were never a deterrent for the young man of steel determination for he found a way to achieve his dreams. He taught himself. His first step was to borrow books from a lawyer friend and study from home, and for practical training he started attending court sessions to closely observe every argument being made. Needless to say, the young man passed with flying colors and started his practice in Godhra. Another facet of his character and compassion is seen when later on he had the capacity to travel abroad, but allowed his elder brother Vitthalbhai, who too was a lawyer, to go to England for higher studies in Law first. Only after his brother's return did he himself leave for England, where he stood first in the Barrister-at-Law examination. Sardar Patel's foray into the freedom struggle was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, who he met during a meeting in Godhra. From then on they became friends and Patel started following Gandhiji's activities, especially his success in the Champaran Satyagraha. KINDNESS, COMPASSION ARE EXCELLENT VIRTUES BUT KNOWLEDGE IS MAN’S TOPMOST BEAUTY! 27
The defining moment for the Sardar came when in 1918; Kheda was inundated and devastated by floods. With their crops damaged, farmers asked for relief from the heavy taxes the British government had ensued but to no avail. Gandhiji joined in the fight but could devote his entire attention to Kheda's struggle.As he was looking for a person to take up the cause of the farmers in his absence, Sardar volunteered. As always he never did anything half-hearted, and his first step was giving up his well-paying legal practice and joining the non-cooperation movement by switching over to Khadi clothes. The struggle was a resounding success with the British government agreeing to hold talks with Sardar, and later on agreeing to his terms of rolling back the tax rates. From then on, there was no looking back for this Son of the Soil. KINDNESS, COMPASSION ARE EXCELLENT VIRTUES BUT KNOWLEDGE IS MAN’S TOPMOST BEAUTY! 28

Amritsar train disaster An Indian railways passenger train crashed into a crowd of people in the eastern outskirts of Amritsar on 19 October 2018. The crowd had gathered to watch celebrations for the Hindu festival of Dussehra and were standing on the tracks. The accident occurred in the early evening, killing at least 59 people and injuring an additional 100. Incident According to local police and news media, the spectators were standing and sitting on or near the tracks in the Joda Phatak area in the outskirts of Amritsar. The spectators were watching the burning of an effigy of demon Ravana as part of the Dussehra festival, when a commuter train ran into the crowd. The train was described as a multiple diesel unit (DMU) local passenger train travelling westbound from Jalandar station to Amritsar. Witnesses claimed that another train, the Amritsar – Howrah mail service, had passed in the opposite direction moments earlier, and this was later confirmed by the gateman in charge of the junction. Several witnesses claimed that the train did not blow its horn when it got close to the crowds of spectators. The driver said that he both honked and applied the emergency brakes but did not come to a complete halt because the crowd had begun to pelt the train with stones. Local Congress politician Navjot Kaur Sidhu, the wife of the member of legislative assembly for Amritsar East was the guest of honor at the event. She said she had left the site shortly before the accident occurred but that she returned as soon as she heard about it. Sidhu also said that the celebration was held there every year and that the railway authorities were alerted in advance of the need to moderate their speed.

Victims An official told reporters that elected officials confirmed that at least 59 people were killed in the accident. By the evening of 19 October, 50 bodies had been discovered and at least 50 people had been admitted to a nearby hospital while the other nine bodies were found the next day. Due to the force of the train's impact, many victims were dismembered or mutilated beyond recognition, which delayed the body identification A local official said that most of the victims were migrant workers and their families from the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar who lived in the area. Punjab Chief Minister Singh visited some of the survivors and family members of the dead at a local hospital, on 20 October. During his visit two women met with him who had reportedly lost their entire families, including children, husbands and even in-laws. The majority of those identified were cremated at the Shitala Mata Temple in Amritsar, while a few others were sent back to their hometowns. Allegations were reported to the local media, that after the accident some of the crowd stole valuables of the victims and survivors; family members also reported that only the bodies of their relatives were returned but not their effects.
