There's More To Life - Start Giving, Spread Smiles - IIM Sirmaur

The question here is how? How two IIM Sirmaur students Abhishek Kumar Gupta and Aniket Chandani did reach a Government Elementary School located in Bakipur, a small village in Punjab, roughly 370 kilometres away from their college? Well, the answer to that question is Smiles.care, an NGO with a vision to bring smiles on the faces of the oppressed human spirit through compassion and understanding by providing them with economic, moral and social support. An initiative was taken by the present CEO and President Ms Mandeep Kaur Sidhu.

A Sneak Peek Into SSR Journey - IMT Ghaziabad

A Sneak Peek Into SSR Journey - IMT Ghaziabad

Recently my college - IMT Ghaziabad has introduced a mandatory three credit course on Sustainability and Social Responsibility (SSR), aimed at action-based learning on efficiently catering to the needs of the society. So when our batch was assigned this course, I was naturally wary of it. Firstly, because I had my own apprehensions and notions regarding social work. I consider social initiatives are a work of great responsibility and compassion which might get diluted by grades and assessments. And secondly, I sometimes don't like to do things that I am simply forced to do. So my main objective while choosing the project was that I really wanted to do something in which I would not worry about marks and academics, but in turn try to do something that would make an impact, however small it may seem in the lives of the innocent children, with whom my team: ‘Being Social’, and I would be associated.
