ICHL 2013 @IIM Raipur- the First Conference on Humanitarian Logistics in India

ICHL 2013 @IIM Raipur- the First Conference on Humanitarian Logistics in India

Flash floods in Uttarakhand (2013). Tsunami in South-east Asia (2004). Earthquake in Haiti (2010). Earthquake in Japan (2009). These are some of the deadliest disasters that have occurred over the past decade. With the disasters come human, livestock and property losses and the task of rebuilding the disaster affected areas. But the biggest task in the aftermath of any disaster, natural or man made, is relief work. Countries across the world have been on the lookout of reducing the impact of man made and natural disasters by developing mechanisms to deal with such disasters. However the responses to the previous disasters which have occurred in India show our lack of preparation. And the worst part is such preparation is hardly given any importance. Humanitarian logistics is the key to cope up with such disasters. It specializes in organizing the delivery and warehousing of supplies during natural disasters or complex emergencies to the affected area and people. The supplies include food, water, life-saving drugs and other necessary amenities. . The time has come whereby policy makers, Government bodies, academia, and practitioners should meet on a common platform to deliberate on this key and relevant issue of Humanitarian Logistics.

Experience of a lifetime as part of a Dual Degree Program between IIM-Udaipur and Purdue University

Experience of a lifetime as part of a Dual Degree Program between IIM-Udaipur and Purdue University

The first thing that crossed my mind when I landed in Purdue as part of the dual degree program between IIM-Udaipur and Purdue University is the gigantic infrastructure of the Institute. There were huge blocks of each of the departments, the Purdue Memorial Union, the recreational centre, the football stadium and many more such blocks. The campus is extremely picturesque and very well maintained. In fact one can just roam around the campus the whole day to get astonished with the incredible beauty and green pastures all around.
