You know you’re from XIMR when. . .

Safety of girls is a top priority at every college campus. Nowadays, safe and supportive campus community is both an obligation and a challenge for college administrators and students. Institute should provide a comprehensive range of security amenities especially for girls within the premises, through a dedicated team of security personnel. It is a common phenomenon that most of the outstation students enrolling for different courses come out of their homes and cities for the first time in their life. It is therefore of utmost importance for institutions to provide them a comfortable and safe ambience of ‘feel at home’ within the campus.

Coming from the North East, the journey to Harihar was a long one for me. It gave me a lot of time to think about how things were going to be here and whether I would be able to manage on my own.

If you look back into the annals of time, trace a path all the way to the present and dare to peek into the future as well, you’d be surprised to find that no article of clothing has been, is or will be more ubiquitous than the humble shoe. Ever since prehistoric times, Man has always felt the need to protect his feet from everything that Mother Nature could throw at him and ancient cultures, ranging from the Native Americans to the Egyptians and all the way to Ancient China, developed their own forms of primitive footwear. While shoemaking as a trade only picked up speed during the Industrial Revolution, the global footwear market today is pegged at a size of around $190 – 200 billion, clocking a sub – 5% annual growth. While the luxury segment is still a minuscule portion of the entire pie, it is growing in double – digits, with some brands even growing at over 30% - 70% annually, albeit on a small base. Speaking of the luxury footwear industry, names like Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin, Gucci, Prada, Steve Madden, Yves Saint Laurent, Manolo Blahnik and Brian Atwood are now the soles that legends are made of and every shoe cabinet desires.
