Anti-Obesity Day is observed on 26th of November in various parts of the world. India is one of the top ten obese countries in the world, with approximately 5% of the population being classified as morbidly obese. The levels of obesity are on the rise, given India’s economic development, rising incomes of the middle class and increased availability of highly processed junk food. In order to raise awareness and to attempt to tackle this grave issue, Johnson & Johnson in association with the Jayashree Todkar Foundation organized an anti-obesity walk at Symbiosis Center for Management and Human Resource Development (SCMHRD) in collaboration with Samatva, the institute social responsibility cell of SCMHRD.

He speaks of his experience during the Kerala Floods, where he and his fellow classmates participated in relief work.

'Nothing is impossible so long as you work hard on making it possible', says the ever-beaming Misha Garg, a first year student at IIM Rohtak, who made her way into the institute of national importance, at the mere age of 19. Born and raised in Samana, a small town near Patiala in Punjab, Misha muses about a love for poetry that cannot be put into words. More often than not, she finds herself in isolation, but in unison with a whole different world of beguiling emotions as she scribbles away her thoughts on fragments of paper, stringing a delicate network of words together. What started as a hobby of writing on numerous social-media platforms has now metamorphosed into a feat, many would find impossible to achieve at that age. Misha has participated in a multitude of writing challenges and has even featured as a co-author in a book to be published on Amazon. Having participated in more than 10 anthologies, she is now penning down a book of her own. For her, finding a striking balance between her passion and college isn't a chore because she believes in giving her utmost best to everything that she does. Life hasn't always been easy for this dreamy-eyed teen, but she has no grievances, as she manages to keep her joys and eccentricities intact. Her decision to pursue a career in management stems from a dream of having a Publication House of her own, a dream that she has nurtured ever since she started writing, using it as an escape. At IIM Rohtak, she learns management principles in both theory and practice amidst diverse ideas, lifestyles, thought processes, beliefs and actions. She gains confidence each day because life at college can get challenging at times but it always aims at bringing out the best version of people. Misha says that life at IIM Rohtak is an experience that teaches you how to manage yourself in diverse situations, so you emerge as a winner in your own eyes, because in the end that is what matters the most.
Located in the state of Haryana, India, Indian Insitute of Management Rohtak was established in 2009 on the 16th of November by the Government of India as one of the six new IIMs announced under the 11th Five Year Plan, thus making it the first IIM in North India and the only IIM in the National Capital Region. The institute is presently functioning from its permanent sprawling 200 acre residential campus located in Management City, Sunaria, with Professor Dheeraj Sharma, a full professor on leave from IIM Ahmedabad, as its director.
‘’Nervous, legs shaking, head a bit heavy, as you are at your wit’s end, not sure what to do and how to progress when you are going to face your first examination of your MBA life, the midterms of the first semester. “Ting!” rings a familiar ring of your mobile phone indicating an email notification. I pick up the phone and there it is, a ray of hope amidst all the darkness of confusion and fear. Unlocking my phone and I read the mail, “A peer learning session has been scheduled. The venue is so and so” I breathe a sigh of relief. I continue with studying the basic concepts for the next few hours and ready with my doubts, I head out to attend the peer learning session. I notice I am not alone and soon the classroom fills with the students. I see my own classmate, in the middle of the room, my eyes usually habitual of seeing a faculty there blink a little. But, this time it’s a bit different. It’s not a position of power but it’s more about having a reciprocal and collaborative session. Soon, he starts and explains all the concepts clearly, one by one and then followed by a doubt solving session. Some more peers of my batch join him and start solving each other’s doubts. With most of the doubts solved and the confidence level at a much higher level, I head back to my room with a bunch of my friends, we continue our discussion and solving each other’s doubts, we meet in the common room and resume our studies.’’
