Thus, Aditya Birla Group has presence in my everyday routine and the impact that it leaves on my life is huge which is impossible to portray through just words.
During 4th semester of my graduation in Journalism and Mass Communication, I had a subject event management which was being taken up a mentor whom I admire a lot. Towards the end of the semester before the final exams I had to prepare a practical file for the same subject which comprised 100 marks.
There were 2 ways to go about the file:
1. Make a hypothetical plan of an event and present it beautifully in the file.
2. Organize an actual event all by yourself and then present it beautifully in the file.
All my batch mates were simply following the first way and were coming up with brilliant event ideas on paper but I was little inclined towards organizing my own event as I could see it as an opportunity to learn many valuable lessons. Here I faced the biggest challenge of my college life, when I had to choose between standing with crowd and standing alone all by myself. After brainstorming for almost a few days I finally decided to walk the road less taken and I came up with an idea of a cycling marathon-cum-charity event. I convinced 2 of my close friends and classmates to make a team and put this idea to work. Then, after a struggle of almost 2 months and endless rejections we 3 were able to successfully organize the cycling marathon called, “Cyclothon- Every Mile Counts”.
The event was a huge success, we got 200+ participants, media coverage from Dainik Bhaskar, support from a nationwide NGO Bhumi and some good sponsors. Apart from the successful event we were the only students in the batch of 356 students to actually organize an event outside the college premises and we also scored 98 marks out of 100 in the practical exam.
