Akalpita, It is indeed shocking! There would be many who would blame the education system in our country and the 'corruption culture' prevailing in the recruiting systems in our country, for these problems to have actually occurred. But believe me I for one would rather jump at an action plan to prevent such happenings, rather than carry out a debate or muse over the issues. My competencies lie in coaching and training. I am also a teacher in B-Schools. Please let me know if I can be of any help at any stage.
