WHAT IS YOUR PRIORITY ? CHARITY OR JOBS ?
At the Business Leadership Award function in Mumbai ( Sept o2, 2010 ), India’s richest industrialist Mukesh Ambani was asked how much of his huge wealth does he plan to give away to charity ( ala Bill Gates , Warren Buffet etc. ).
Here is how Mukesh replied (approximately):
“India’s problems are different from those of developed world. India is adding 12 / 15 million people to its workforce every year. Rather than give away to charities, India’s rich should use that wealth to create jobs.
12 / 15 million jobs, year-after-year, for next 25 years .”
No wonder, unemployed jobseekers in India are cheering Mukesh!
They don’t want charity. They want jobs.
And by inducting Mukesh in its Board, World Economic Forum seems to endorse his views.
