Subash KC, Dean of KUSOM MBA program shared, “The students will have to enroll themselves in rural parts of the country and assist local entrepreneurs and businessmen in accounting, local economy, etc for two to four weeks as part of the program. This way, they’ll get to learn about businesses and ventures of the villages as well.”
