Thankyou Sir for evaluation. You have correctly pointed out that I need to elaborate on Why I want to MBA, and what after MBA?

I will try to explain in brief. I was working at Tata Steel, and I have recently resigned from the company. I have my own social venture set to start. Its Project Bharti.
The project is focused on Rural Development, Education of poor children, Organic Food products, and Green Energy.
After resigning, I met various Venture-capitalists for funding, because the success of project critically depends upon its expanse(Scale). I realized that I need to have a basic capital to start one pilot project. Meanwhile, I have started a part of project i.e farming with all my savings.

I want to MBA for 3 things:
1) Build up contacts and resources( Finance,Team members) for Project.
2) Fine tune my business plan.

My main target school is ISB, because firstly its a one year programme, and secondly its will provide me an in depth analysis of Indian Market Scenario.

I hope, this helps.
