On January 10th 2016, IIFT flags off marathon, running for enabling India digitally partnering with runners and NGOs from across Delhi. The event consisted of 2 races – in 4 categories- 5.5 km (Men & Women) and 11 km (Men & Women). IIFTians and many other runners ran from Qutab Minar to IIFT, with the vision to empower people and spread awareness for a Digital India. Cash Prizes worth Rs 50K for the first 3 finishers in both the categories were given. Delhi Police provided buses to reach the venue, without their support it couldn't have happened.
The marathon marked the official launch of IIFT’s annual cultural and management festival, Quo Vadis, the theme for which is Enabling India Digitally. Quo Vadis 2016 comes with a gamut of events and competitions, each of which has been designed around digitally empowering the society.
January 2016 will see IIFTians committing themselves towards the spread of the message for a digitized society through Quo Vadis. One step by IIFT, but a pertinent advance towards a Digital India.
