Asian College of Political Management is formed to educate youth about the importance of participating in the political process to get good governance.
WHAT IS POLITICAL MANAGEMENT
Politics requires not only a thorough understanding of constitutional rights and activities associated with governing relations, but also an ability to engage, fruitfully, in its activities. Citizens of a society like India are often lost amidst the chaos of politics, with very little comprehension of the hows and whys of politics. What controls the media? What is the
purpose and importance of PR to politics? How does one rally and campaign? Political management is the field that defines this aspect of politics. From campaign development to lobbying, public advertising to fund raisers, it covers the face of politics that is, therefore, the thorough understanding of the applications of political science. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO INDIA? India, the largest democracy in the world, is unfortunately, grossly illiterate in its politics. We exist in the middle of mayhem in our governance; aware that changes is warranted, yet completely clueless to where to start. We are in dire need of the active involvement of the educated youth who will make a difference to our government; but this is a youth that has lost faith in its own leaders. It is therefore, imperative that we provide more citizens with access to an education in political management. There is much room for improvement, and an entire governing body that needs reform. HOW IS INDIA CHANGING? WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS? Thankfully, the advent of technology and the widespread reach of education has stirred the minds of the citizens of India. More and more people in the middle class of society have begun to demand the need for human security, dignity, and their rights as citizens. This, without a doubt, the new Indian society. Therefore, it is most relevant at this juncture to form a society that will provide the appropriate education for its people. We need something that will teach people their rights, and encourage them to demand good governance. Above all, there is a need for the emphasis on the importance of participation, as citizens. WHERE DOES ONE START? We believe that the way to facilitate change is to identify the individual voters. The specific target voter is not one lies at either extreme of the voting spectrum, rather the one who positions slightly right to the centre, or who is just leaning away from other parties. A population percentage as small as 5% can greatly impact the results of an election. The impact of this statistic is of immense value to a nation like India. We live in a society where most registered voters opt out of voting, purely because of a perceived lack of strength and attractiveness in our governing system. The lack of educated voter, however, will result in lesser control over the type of governing that takes place in the country, in turn increasing the level of frustration. Part of the reason why most voters do not know what to do, though, is an intrinsic lack of awareness, fuelled by a lack of social understanding of governance. In order to combat a lack of awareness, we need to develop easier access to information. We live in a time where technology dominatoures. The internet has opened up the world to millions, and taking advantage of this can help our mission greatly. The provision of informative websites, through mainstream and social media (like Facebook ), will allow our message to reach the youth and middle class of the country. In addition to this, the development of mobile phone Apps will allow the youth to further engage in and understand the politics of our country. ASIAN COLLEGE OF POLITICAL MANAGEMENT. (GRADUATE COURSE)
In addition to regular seminars on the current political status in India, the Asian College of Political Management features courses on applied, practical politics, rather than building political theory, the public policy, public administration. The focus of the college is not to instill a sense of what politics is, rather to provide a better insight as hoe politics affects us, and how it is shaped. It is this part of polics that directly affects society, and its view of governance in its nation. WHO ARE WE, AND WHAT IS OUR AIM? The Asian College of Political Management educates students and professionals in tools, principles and values of participatory democracy. Through this, the aim is to prepare them for careers as ethical and effective advocates and leaders at the international, national and local levels. The college is the pioneer in the field of political management education, or, broadly speaking, “Applied Politics”. Politics when studied and understood with finesse and clarity will inevitably result in the advancement of a society, and, ultimately, success. With this as our goal, we wish to provide a means of allowing this change to occur. For those who want to make a difference to society, and take charge of ensuing that change occurs in the country’s governing. Asian College of Political Management offers an innovative learning environment that will help create the next generation of citizen leaders. WHAT IS OUR PLAN? As the only school of Applied Politics in the country, our focus is on those people with a passion for politics, those who want to make a difference to the country in any which way, and those who, ultimately, are looking for a career in the political realm. The program being offered is a unique program in Indian higher education, with the sole mission of producing and affecting a positive change in politics. This change, we believe, is only possible through education. The training and college has developed an educational program in the art, science and business of politics, which will provide a strong foundation for our graduates. The college will also be affiliated with other Colleges and Universities all over India. This is granted once students have registered as per the terms and conditions set out for implementations of the program, in line with the main objective. As a result, uniform coaching and training is ensured to the students. WHAT COURSES ARE OFFERED? The Asian college of Political Management will offer the following courses:

With our strong connections, our students will gain experience not only in the classroom, but also on field. Our aim is to allow students to better understand the applications and dealings of politics, in theory, and in execution. Initially the courses will be offered in English medium. This will soon be extended to other regional languages. WHO IS THE FACULTY? A fantastic course means absolutely nothing if the provided faculty is not passionate about it. For this purpose, the faculty members with immense experience in the field of politics will be selected to provide a better understanding of the field. World-class scholars and renowned political management and communications practitioners will allow students a better look at the applied field of politics, with perspectives that they might not get elsewhere. We offer a distinguished faculty and cadre of seasoned adjunct professors and directors from the political and communications arenas, along with dynamic visiting lecturers. The faculty will work together to offer students a strong innovative academic foundation, as well as a hands-on, practical experience. We believe that learning outside the classroom is as important as learning within, and for this reason, our students will learn in campaign offices, legislative offices, public relation offices, consultancies and news bureaus that shape the political realm both locally and abroad. The Asian College of Political Management was founded by Mohan M Gobal, B.Sc.,and F.C.A, Chartered Accountant.
