The document discusses the concept of a contributor's mindset. It notes that contributors are focused on goals and consider new possibilities to achieve those goals within the existing system. Contributors are willing and able to find solutions when faced with problems, rather than just thinking about whether a solution can be found. The document provides examples of contributors like Ratan Tata, who developed the affordable Nano car, and the milk producers who formed cooperatives in India to better market their milk.

3. Introduction
Contributors approach various situations in life and work place
with a unique mind set, called contributor’s mindset
The first aspect of contributor mindset is contributor willingness
and capacity to find solution
When he faces a problem he does not only think that “can we
find a solution?” but also tries his best to find solution.
Thus contributors put their thinking in action plus
continuous practice and learning.

4. Concept exploration
Non-contributors are often “rigid” about
the procedure or their own way of doing
things instead of focusing on the goal
Contributors are focused on goals and
find legal methods to achieve
them within the framework of the
system

5. ?
Non-contributors do not consider new
possibilities1 in their thinking
Contributors consider new / alternate
possibilities1 in their thinking

7.  When Ratan Tata was
travelling on road he
saw that 4 people
where travelling on a
single bike.
 He thought that this is
very risky so he
started thinking about
an alternate solution.
 He think that for a
common man it is not
affordabel to buy a car
so he decided to make
a car which can be
afforded by a common
man
 After talking with his
Engineers ,he told
Engineers to invent a
car at the lowest price
and its quality.
 After many efforts like
the body should be
made from which
material as steel is
costly and its design
they finally made the
car.
 This car was named as
“NANO” and is also
successful.

9.  Until 1946, milk producers of
Kaira district had to travel a long
distance to deliver milk to the
only dairy, the Polson Dairy in
Anand. Often milk went sour as
they had to physically carry the
milk in individual containers.
The traders working with
Polson arbitrarily decided the
prices depending on the
production and the season.
 The milk producers were
extremely angry with the unfair
practices
of the traders. Frustrated, under
leadership of Tribhuvandas Patel
(a local farmer leader), they
approached Sardar Vallabhbhai
Patel for a solution to their
problem.
 Vallabhbhai advised them to form
Cooperatives, boycott Polson
Dairy and start supplying their
milk directly to Mumbai State
Government instead of routing
through Polson Dairy.
 Under the guidance of Morarji Desai,
the producers in each of the
villages in Kaira started forming
their
own village co-operatives to act as
milk collection centres for the
entire village. These co-operatives
were owned and managed by
the producers themselves. As they
knew each others’ problems,
solutions started emerging
through collective thinking
 Today, nearly after 65 years from the
day the idea of co-operative took
root in a small district ofGujarat,
Amul has grown to become the
largest food producer in the
country. It is today jointly owned by
2.8 million milk producers
