Senior CPI (M) leader and Rajya Sabha member Sitaram Yechury will address the students of the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta (IIM-C) on December 17 as part of the institute’s lecture series.
This will be his first talk after the 2G spectrum scandal, about which Yechury has been very vocal about. He is expected to dwell on the dangers of crony capitalism.
IIM-C is celebrating its 50th year since inception. While the institute has always been at the forefront of management research, it has always sought to foster a free exchange of ideas and opinions among its students and leading figures from all walks of life.
To further this long-standing goal of imparting knowledge beyond management, it hosts the Institute Lecture Series, where eminent luminaries deliver speeches and talks to share some of their knowledge and experience with some of the brightest minds that India has to offer.
