Understanding the Delay

NEET PG was essentially an interim measure. Complaints regarding the validity and security of competitive examinations have necessitated a comprehensive review by the Ministry of Health. The ministry cited the need for clean and safe tests, which caused the delay. This decision underlines the importance of maintaining high standards of fairness and security during exams, especially in light of recent controversy and the concerns of students regarding other exams.

Steps to Check the New NEET PG Date

Once the new exam date is announced, students can follow these steps to check it on the official NBEMS website:

Importance of NEET PG

NEET PG is a crucial examination for medical graduates aiming to pursue postgraduate medical courses across various institutions in India. The test evaluates the knowledge and skills of prospective medical professionals and determines their suitability for medical education and training

What happened after the postponement?

Following the postponement on June 22, less than 12 hours before the scheduled exam, NBE and the Union Health Ministry held a close review meeting. NBEMS director Dr Abhijat Sheth said the review focused on computer-based testing methods. Inputs from the government and directives were provided to ensure the robustness of the examination process.

Troubleshooting

NBE declared that there were no published articles or reports on related topics. The main reason for the postponement was to protect the security and integrity of the exams. The ministry wanted to prevent all exploiters from exploiting vulnerabilities, especially in the wake of the National Testing Agency (NTA) test which raised serious concerns among Indian students.

Looking ahead

Students should closely follow the official website of NBEMS for the latest information regarding the NEET PG 2024 exam date held and it will contain details regarding the issuance of new admit cards and all relevant instructions.

Final thoughts

This study highlights how entrepreneurs driven by sustainability navigate the complexities of aligning economic objectives with broader societal and environmental goals, even under the pressure to prioritize profit alone, say sources from IIM Lucknow.

Values

The research emphasises how sustainability-oriented values in founders drive Sustainable Business Model Innovation (SBMI), say sources from IIM Lucknow.

This ripple effect fosters a larger ecosystem of sustainable businesses, redefining success to include positive contributions to environmental and social well-being alongside profitability.

Research

Prof. Krishna Chandra Balodi, Strategic Management, IIM Lucknow spoke about the research.

Our research illustrates the transformative influence of founders’ sustainability values on business models that address pressing global challenges, said Prof Krishna of IIM Lucknow.

These entrepreneurs redefine success by integrating their principles into their ventures, striking a balance between profit and meaningful environmental and social impact, he said.

Suscom

The research centers on “Suscom,” a startup renowned for its sustainable practices. By delving deeply into Suscom’s operations, the study revealed that the founders’ values permeate every facet of the business—from product innovation to strategic partnerships.

These values are rooted in a blend of influences, such as family upbringing, sustainability-focused education, and early career experiences with non-profits advocating for environmental and social causes, say sources from IIM Lucknow.

Attention

The research also brings attention to the unique challenges faced by sustainable startups, such as:

Recruiting employees with a sustainability mindset: Building a workforce aligned with the company’s goals.

Eco-friendly sourcing: Procuring sustainable raw materials.

Green logistics: Finding partners who offer environmentally friendly logistics solutions.

Collaborative partnerships: Working with like-minded stakeholders.

Innovative strategies: Developing creative, low-tech production methods that minimise energy consumption and environmental impact.

Standout findings

One of the standout findings is Suscom’s use of traditional and indigenous techniques to reduce energy consumption.

These methods not only align with global decarbonisation efforts but also present an eco-friendly alternative to high-energy industrial processes, say sources from IIM Lucknow.

Significance

As businesses worldwide face mounting pressure to address sustainability and climate change, this research underscores the significance of value-driven leadership, say sources from IIM Lucknow.

It serves as a beacon for entrepreneurs to adopt sustainable practices that not only ensure financial viability but also contribute meaningfully to societal and environmental progress, say sources from IIM Lucknow.

Personal values

By offering valuable insights into how personal values can catalyse sustainable innovation, the study reinforces the need for business leaders to think beyond profits and prioritise long-term, equitable growth.
