The grand statue of Swami Vivekanand outside the library or the Gyan-Grih, is a symbol of the importance of spirituality in our life. The need to be open to and accepting of other faiths is the path to excellence. He is also a symbol of nationalism, and how we as the youth of the country are paramount to nation-building. Standing tall, he reminds us of our true purpose in life.
Outside the building, Takshashila, named after one of the oldest centres of learning in the world, is a statue of the father of our nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. No one better than the Mahatma to emphasize the importance of Swadeshi Movement and the need of the nation first approach. How we as Indians have to find the solutions to our unique problems and how no one else will help us overcome them.
The presence of Gautam Buddha can be observed at two places on the campus: In the main building and under the drooping tree near the hostel complex. I think the dual presence in these places is a symbol of balance in work and life. His preaching of staying grounded, and letting go of your ego, no matter what you achieve in your personal as well as professional life is very relevant in today’s world.
Finding meaning in life and believing in some principles or values is what keeps us going. We strive to find fruitfulness and meaning in our work. Keeping these learnings and principles is mind, I find the principles, goal and mission of the Aditya Birla Group strongly resonating with my own personal aim, goal and values in life. I carry ancient memories of the Aditya Birla group, from the days when TV had just made an entry into our homes. I distinctly remember the advertisements featuring the rising sun. This gives the Aditya Birla Group a place very close to my heart.
If I were fortunate enough, I’d love to be a part of Aditya Birla Capital Limited especially Aditya Birla Money Limited and Aditya Birla Finance Limited. The work of these companies has always intrigued me and has been one of the major reasons for being attracted towards Finance. I strongly believe that these companies would provide me with a strong learning environment, a place where I can enhance my skills and a platform where I can contribute a sizeable portion towards the achievement of the company’s goals and objectives while achieving my own along the way.
