The students from the second year of PGP batch of 2013-2015 expressed their keen interest in joining the conference. As a part of Phase 1, the students submitted the abstract of their analysis on the Community Engagement Models based on collaboration between Non-Profit and For-Profit organizations. The task involved rigorous research and challenge to convert bulk of information into brief, understandable and presentable form.
In the second phase, the group of students travelled Singapore to join two days Symposium organized by CAPT, NUS. The group presented their detailed study of the sample model adopted by SELCO Solar Pvt. Ltd. in community engagement activities. The study involved ground work done by SELCO Solar in understanding needs of the community and the role played by SELCO Incubation Centre in development of local entrepreneurs of Odisha, Assam and Meghalaya who are working in the solar sector. The audience to the presentation included students from other parts of the globe such as Philippines, Singapore, China and Myanmar.
The event formatted through panel discussion where the delegates exchanged views on various topics such as Creating healthier communities, engagement with seniors, challenging inequality and engaging communities with social enterprises.
The students from IIMU along with other delegates also paid a social visit to the underprivileged community in Singapore and noticed the initiatives taken by the government for the development of the deprived. The experience thus gained, helped students to broaden their perspective and also to inculcate the best practices exchanged during their visit.
