With the thought of 'providing knowledge is only a part, our teachers actually shape the soul', the teachers' day program began.

The welcome speech was followed by Saraswati Vandana performed by Swarnima Chaudhary. The entire auditorium resonated with her voice as she sought divine blessings for all. Light, the symbol of knowledge and power was paid obeisance by the lighting of the lamp. It was a day dedicated to the beloved faculty and staff of IIM Ranchi.

The faculty was also presented with gifts that were a token of gratitude and appreciation from the students.
A solo classical music performance was given by Khushbu Patel. Her mellifluous voice enchanted the audience. An interesting question and answer session was conducted where the faculty were asked to narrate memorable experience of their college life, hilarious encounters in class and talk about their favourite books.
