Reaching out to differently-abled children - IIM Ranchi celebrates Diwali in a novel way

Reaching out to differently-abled children - IIM Ranchi celebrates Diwali in a novel way

Who would’ve thought that teaching a child the difference between Papa and Baba could be so difficult? Well, it can be when the child can’t hear you speak. Coming face to face with these facts of life, the students of the Indian Institute of Management, Ranchi, had a humbling experience when they chose to spend Diwali with the children of The Kshitij Deaf and Dumb School, Doranda, currently managed by Anil Kumar Lal. Instituted in 1938 with five children, it is the center of learning for 80 children today, 33 of whom live on the premises. With just some basic help from the government in the form of hearing aids for the children, the school runs mostly with help from sponsors and local donors.

A Night to Remember at Avenues 2014

About a decade ago, Indian television saw a paradigm shift of sorts. The Saas and their Bahus were slowly losing their ascendency over kitty parties, kids like me talked something apart from Sachin, Sehwag and Sourav and I did not attend the corporate over-the-vending-machine chats. I assume they too were talking about ‘The next singing superstar’. The shift brought along with itself a horde of reality shows. Singing, dancing, stand-up comedy and for the lack of a well-defined title to confer, talent in general. Most of us are now losing track of which season our then favorite show will enter the coming year. Many of us, including me already have.
