Students' participation in management of business school is his avowed ideal. When enquired as to why he has not started any further experimentation at Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management (LBSIM), of which he was the Director, he has an interesting response. Lal Bahadur Shastri's Himalayan legacy runs at LBSIM. Lal Bahadur Shastri was known for his simplicity, honesty, integrity and assertiveness. Anyone understanding these values and internalizing the principles as a way of life does not need any further extramurals.
