    Master Mind Quiz Competition( 1st

    Oct,2012)

    Innovation in the field of education is as important as it is in other spheres of life. Knowledge

    and skills can easily be imparted from one generation to another, if modern teaching

    techniques are unified with traditional training methods. Sri SIIM follows the same pedagogy,

    through theories and practices it aims to support the full development of the younger

    generation of the society.

    Gandhi Ji was one such person who opposed literary training without vocational training,

    physical exercises, without spiritual development and religious instruction without practical

    social service. Gandhi ji's vision was to create an India where all citizens would attain "a

    keen sense of personal worth, dignity and efficiency", through an educational system that

    would "strengthen in them the desire for self -improvement and social service in a co-

    operative community"

    Rama Krishna Vivekananda International Foundation jointly with Sri SIIM followed the same

    philosophy and organized a grand event on 1st Oct, 2012 and 2nd

    Oct , 2012 to pay tribute to

    our father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi and spread his thoughts, views and teachings to

    the younger generation of India. You must have come across so many Gandhi Jayanti

    celebrations, but here in Sri SIIM it was very uniquely done. We are forgetting Bapu and his

    sacrifices for our country, so in order to make the new generation aware about the man who

    sacrificed his whole life for the nation called India, Inter school and Inter college quiz

    completion, Master Mind was organized on 1

    st

    Council for Social Responsibility of Sri SIIM is a philanthropic body formed to make a

    contribution towards the upliftment of the society , both at a smaller level and thesociety at large. The objective behind forming this institute is to share the complexities

    and hardships of those who are not privileged, like many of us.Old age is one such

    hardship faced by a large section of the society,,not because of physical challenges

    which it poses on a persons life but the challenge of ignorance by their loved ones.

    Sri SIIM lighted the lamps of an old age home before celebrating Diwali inside the

    campus. The CSR team accompanied by the Chief Program Coordinator cum Assistant

    Professor- Sri SIIM, Shri Sanjeev Sareen and all the students of PGDM Batch 1st year

    visited Home for the Aged old age home on 9th November 2012 which is located inthe Fatehpur Beri village, New Delhi. The CSR team kept the promise which they made

    to the inmates of Home for the Aged last year, that they would come back again.

    A special arrangement of snacks and lunch was done for the inmates.Winter clothes

    were gifted to them along with the necessary daily use items.Moments spent with the

    inmates were truly special and memorable for the students as they danced, played

    and sang various songs and religious prayers with the inmates.The inmates were

    brimming with joy and praised the work of CSR team. Their eyes were filled with tears

    of happiness as they missed their dear ones and felt good to see the inclination of

    young students towards older people. Then the time came to bid goodbye to the

    inmates, with a promise that the CSR team would come back next year and would

    spend some time with them.

    Students learned many things regarding life management and values shared by

    experienced ones.It was an amazing experience for the students.They might have not

    received any tangible gift from the Home for the Aged, but the lessons and

    experience which they received from the inmates were worth more than any tangible

    gift.

    Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the

    first was made. Our times are in his hand who saith, 'A whole I planned, youth

    shows but half; Trust God: See all, nor be afraid!

    the world as the "Festival of Light," where the lights or lamps signify victory of good

    over the evil within every human being .

    The sun does not shine there, nor do the moon and the stars, nor do lightning

    shine. All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of the inner

    light of the Self.

    chief Ministers conclave & 107th

    Annual Session

    Residents of a country seek continuous growth and development of their society from

    their leaders and representatives of the state. In order to achieve a sustainableamount of growth and development, constant efforts are required to be made by both

    the leaders of state as well the general public.

    PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, India is one such organisation which acts as

    a catalyst in the promotion of industry, trade and entrepreneurship. PHD Chamber,

    through its research-based policy advocacy role, positively impacts the economic

    growth and development of the nation. On 15th

    December, 2012 PHD Chamber

    conducted Chief Minister Conclave and celebrated its 107th

    Annual Session at the

    Hotel Le- Meridien, New Delhi.

    Chief Ministers and their representatives were invited from each and every state of

    India to discuss the current development status of their respective states. The Session

    was headed by Honble President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee.

    Our Rev. CMT & MD, Sri SIIM, Swami (Dr) Parthasarthy was also invited to be a part of

    this meeting and share his viewpoints on the development aspect of the nation, but

    due his other work commitments he could not attend the session and sent his

    representative, Assistant Manager cum HR(Registrar's office), Mrs. Kritika Gupta toattend the session.

    Some of the very eminent personalities who shared their viewpoint and the

    development stage and problem faced by their states were:

    Prof. Prem Kumar Dhumal - Chief Minister Himachal Pradesh

    Dr. Raman Singh -Chief Minister, Chhattisgarh

    Mr. Vijay Bahuguna -Chief minister, Uttrakhand

    Mr. Sushil Kumar Modi -Deputy Chief Minister, Bihar

    CM, Himachal Pradesh said that his government provides electricity at very cheap

    rates and the Public distribution system of food is very efficient in his state.CM,

    Uttrakhand stated that his state has got lowest crime rate in the country, he also

    offered land for the construction of a PHD chamber in his state. Deputy CM, Bihar

  • 7/30/2019 vivek management

    28/33

    stated that Bihar as a state is like a role model for other underdeveloped countries; he

    also discussed the problems of floods which people face in his state.

    Certain awards were also conferred upon states which have shown development and

    growth in the past couple of years. Most important of them were:

    Highest Agriculture growth -Madhya Pradesh

    Lowest Unemployment Rate -Chattisgarh

    The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee shared his thoughts and addressed the

    gathering. He said India is, today, among the fastest growing countries in the world.

    The decadal average growth rate, which was 1.9 per cent in the Eighties, increased to

    7.3 per cent in the last decade. India's share in World GDP has doubled in the last two

    decades, from 1.2 per cent in 1991 to 2.4 per cent in 2011. It became the third largest

    economy in the world on Purchasing Power Parity basis this year.

    . We have, therefore, a collective challenge to reverse this deceleration in growth and

    raise it to 8 to 9 per cent that we had recorded for most of the years in the previous

    decade. I need to hardly emphasize that growth is dependent on the investment rate

    and the efficient use of capital. The rapid economic growth after 2003-04 was

    accompanied by a rise in the investment rate. However, the investment rate has

    declined after reaching its peak in 2007-08 and for this; we have to create the

    conditions required for it.

    He emphasized on the growth and governance aspect of the nation in the coming

    future.

    The Conclave had literally brought many state leaders on a common platform to

    deliberate about the contribution that states can make to further India's journey of

    progress.

    visit to new life orphanage

    The Council Of Social responsibility team of Sri SIIM is continuously heading towards

    touching the lives of each and every section of the society, to bring about a change inthe society at large. It is now becoming a paradigm for other institutes to follow such

    ethical and social practices. One such example is the initiative taken by the CSR team

    which resulted in smiles on the faces of the kids in an orphanage called New Life

    Foundation situated at the outskirts of the North Delhi region.

    The CSR team spent a whole day (21st

    December, 2012) with the kids of New Life

    Foundation interacting and playing with them and tried to understand their problems.

    Various activities were organized for the kids, they were quite excited to see so many

    people coming, especially to meet them. The CSR team didnt miss the opportunity tobecome a part of their happiness and danced along with the kids.

    It was an absolute treat to watch them dance so well in spite of the adversities which

    they face.

    Different fun games like Musical Chair and KBC were organized as well for the kids.

    They enjoyed the series of activities such as Movie session, Distribution of sweets and

    chocolates , along with that, a special arrangement of snacks and Christmas cake was

    made for kids as well as for the caretakers of the orphanage by the CSR team. A

    complete plethora of laughter can be heard as kids loved watching cartoons movieplayed for them.

    There was smile on everyones face whether they were the kids, caretakers or the CSR

    members. It was such a delight for the CSR team of Sri SIIM to be a part of their

    happiness. The day came to an end with the distribution of Christmas gifts and sweets to

    every member of New Life Foundation. The CSR team promised to every kid, that they

    would certainly come back next year and would celebrate Christmas with them.

    As a responsible citizen, one has social obligations towards the society. Children are thefuture of our society, who are today in the smoke of darkness. Around 12 million children

    are still deprived of the fundamental rights of primary education. The time has come,

    that the intelligentsia and the organizations apart from discussion and debates, have to

    play an active part to change the scenario.

    Bhandara at Swami Dayanand Ashram

    Food distribution which is popularly known as Bhandara in India , has a great

    significance in every individuals life.It is treated as a gesture of exhibiting love,

    sacrifice for others and seeking blessings from the God for every human being in this

    world and also for those who have left this world. Sri SIIM as a management institute

    not only imparts management training but also makes its students learn the art of

    sacrificing and how one can remain connected to ones roots and culture.

    Our Rev. Swami (Dr) Parthasarthy on the behalf of the Sri SIIM Foundation organized a

    Bhandara at The Swami Dayananda Ashram, Rishi Kesh, Uttarakhand on 22nd

    December, 2012. Some of the very fortunate students, Ketan Bhateja, Ankush Rana,

    Ashwini Sharma from PGDM Batch 1st year and Iqbal Ali from PGDM Batch 2nd year ,

    got this opportunity to actively participate and volunteer the whole Bhandara under

    the guidance of Rev. Swami ji. Some of the staff members of Sri SIIM also went along

    with the students to be a part of Bhandara distribution event.

    Dayananda Ashram Rishikesh is situated on the banks of the Holy Ganga, away from

    the major tourist attractions. It is a unique centre for the study of Vedanta and

    Sanskrit; unique in the sense that the classes are conducted in English yet the

    adherence and reverence to the ancient tradition of teaching (Sampradaya) is total.

    Our Swami Ji has a very old and strong relationship with the Dayananda Ashram, as it

    is an Alma Mater for him and he is a disciple of Swami Dayanand Saraswati , who

    established this ashram during the 1960s.

    Around one thousand people including the Saints , priests, Students and General

    visitors from different states and priests of the Dayanand Ashram assembled and took

    Prashad with the blessings of god. The whole ambience was representing the feeling

    of peace and humanity. The objective was not only the distribution of food but to

    sprinkle the blessings of god on people in the form of Prashad and to exhibit the

    feelings of love for the society.
