COLLABORATION BETWEEN PENN STATE UNIVERSITY, USA AND THE VIDYALANKAR DYANPEETH TRUST, MUMBAI FOR A TWINNING PROGRAM

This program started in 2006, is ongoing, and has been very successful.

When this school was acquired by Orbit Corporation Ltd, Mumbai, RMC was involved with its upgradation, including its conversion to an international school. The school was subsequently acquired by the Aditya Birla Group and at this stage RMC was retained to prepare a ‘Due Diligence Report’ covering the academic, legal, financial, administrative, and infrastructural aspects. The report was accepted by both groups and the sale transaction was successfully completed.
VANAPRASTHA ASHRAM (Formerly ‘Senior Citizens Settlement Foundation’)
As Honorary Consultants to Vanaprastha Ashram, formerly the ‘Senior Citizens Settlement Foundation’, Mumbai, RMC assisted in planning of the Senior Citizens Home in Sringeri, Karnataka. RMC’s MD visited Hartford, Connecticut, a city renowned for Old Peoples’ Homes. The Hartford experience provided invaluable inputs for the Sringeri Home. Today, this Home located on a 5-acre site near Sringeri has over 70 residents from the Middle-Income Group and has an eager waiting list of over 50 people.

GEMMOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF INDIA (NATIONAL RESEARCH CENTRE), MUMBAI
Having set up the Indian Institute of Gems and Jewellery (IIGJ), MIDC, Andheri, Mumbai, for the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), the Council requested RMC to prepare a Project Report for the Gemmological Institute of India (GII), with emphasis on R&D and to establish centres for lab testing of gems and training in Gemmology.

DESIGN SCHOOL PROJECT, MUMBAI
RMC prepared a Project Report for the setting up of a Design School for Adhiraj Constructions, Mumbai. The report covered various disciplines in design such as graphic design, product design, interface design, fashion design etc. A team from RMC visited the Basel School of Design (BSD), Basel, Switzerland to negotiate a collaboration agreement which was successful and culminated in the issue of a Letter of Intent by the BSD. Unfortunately, this proposal did not fructify as the Government of India declined to accept award of overseas degrees by a body in India, despite much persuasion.
