The PGP1 (first-year) students of IIM Indore had a once-in-lifetime opportunity to experience, live and learn about the finer aspects of life in the rural areas of Madhya Pradesh as part of their Rural Immersion Programme. This unique initiative has been instituted with the aim to sensitize the budding managers and entrepreneurs of this premier institute towards the various schemes undertaken by the government in villages and to study and analyze their execution and effectiveness. Spread over a week, across 44 districts, the programme proved to be an eyeopener by throwing light on various dimensions of district level administration while also dispelling several stereotypes associated with villages.
I first heard about Manjunath (in 2005) when I was 19 from a teacher at a class in Bombay who taught us Verbal Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. I wasn't really into the habit of reading newspapers and didn't know much about it. Actually, I didn't care enough to even go back home and check what she was talking about. I dismissed it as another IIM grad story - must have done something to get the attention of the press.
“How can 6,50,000 students of Mumbai University, spread across four districts, contribute to a single cause?”, “How can they make a big difference through small efforts?”, were the questions we wanted to be answered when we sat down to come up with our idea for MUNIJAN 2012.
KSHITIJ 2012, a flagship event of CII Yi team of XLRI, has now evolved as a platform that provides unique opportunity to school children of Jamshedpur to showcase their cultural skills. The way this event is different from other event of the city is that it brings in children from all strata of the society and give them equal opportunity. As a teacher of a Government vernacular medium school rightly depicts,’ Our schools are always neglected in School fests of renowned city schools but through KSHITIJ we are able to show that our students are equally talented’
