companies that come for recruitment. The placement cell maintains a constant contact with its

students by sending the regular mails to students and notifying them about the companies that

Jeevdaya (Kindness) by Students:

Impact of Jain Philosophy

The below activities were undertaken during National Management Week 2016 starting from 1st

to 7th August 2016.

The greatest investment one can make is in the welfare of children. Our demographic dividend

can become a demographic as if the young generation is empowered with Knowledge & Skills. In

one week, our 200 MBA students directly reached 57 Government Municipal Schools (out

of 105 schools in Vadodara) including 7 Rural Schools, and directly interacted with more than

6,300 school children to create awareness regarding health and hygiene, Digital India,

Swachh Bharat and all the Government benefits they can avail off. Information to

safeguard their interests through Child Helpline 1098 (Project Masoom) was also

disseminated. Stationery items worth Rs. 12,000 were donated to the children, creating

wonderful smiles on their little faces.

● Project Masoom: Probably the most vulnerable section of our society is the children and

as a responsible citizenry, we must all join hands to protect them Ms Priya Jagdale,

Director, Baroda Citizen Council, Ms Ruta Patel and Ms. Pratiksha Shah of CII YI

introduced us to one such noble endeavour: The Project is all about understanding the

needs of children on the streets of India, of figuring out how to reach them effectively, of

putting in place the structure that could take the distressed child to the mainstream of his

or her life. The Child Helpline Number of Project Masoom is 1098.

● Movie for Blind Girls: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever!” so quipped John Keats.

Probably the greatest montage of Indian culture is our Cinema. But why must our

differently abled brothers and sisters remain bereft of a slice of our culture? Students along

with intellectual ideas from CII YI “showed” the movie “3 idiots” to the blind people at

Lion’s club’s blind girls’ school. The movie was specially made for a visually impaired


audience wherein they “hear” the movie and visualize the scenes. The concept was very

well received.

● Visit to Orphanage: As a part of showing compassion, Students and faculty members of

CKSVIM visited Sewa-Tirth orphanage. This orphanage takes care of the neglected, the

mentally challenged and the alienated of the society. Stationery items were distributed to

the students. A small competition was also undertaken wherein the questions in sign

language were asked and the first to answer was rewarded with a chocolate.

● De-Addiction Campaign: During the entirety of NMW 2016, combating the scourge of

addiction always remained a priority. More than 2,500 cards were distributed extolling the

citizenry to abdicate the evil of addiction. Approximately 10,000 members benefitted.

● Traffic Awareness: Probably the greatest nuisance plaguing any city is its unwieldy

traffic. India has an alarming fatality rate attributable to road-accidents. During NMW 2016,

Students and faculty from CKSVIM with members of CII YI collaborated to increase the

awareness regarding traffic rules among the commuters. “Free left” and “No Honking”

were given particular importance.

● Blood Donation: A massive blood donation drive was conducted as a part of AIMS

National Management week 2016 in collaboration with Indu Blood Bank. 23 students

donated blood while 63 students underwent thalassemia test.

● Organ Donation: Students and faculty of CKSVIM along with members of CII YI, walking

along Kamatibaug towards Saffron complex, took up a neglected issue: The need for

organ donation. Medical philanthropy often hinges on the usual blood-donation and

financial aids. But the pressing need for viable organs to save lives can no longer remain

muted.A brief run through by Mr Mohit Shah, Chairman of Sadak Suraksha Committee,

was also given.

● Visit to Sumeru Jain Tirth: CKSVIM students are quite a diverse lot including four

students from Afghanistan. We take pride in this diversity. On a journey towards

experiencing different cultures, the students with faculty members visited Jain temple at

Sumeru Tirth.

● Visit to Panjarapole (Cattle House): Students of CKSVIM visited Shri Dilip-Paresh

Ashokchand Shah Sarvajaniik Panjrapole (Miyagam), managed by the chairman of

Bhagwanshree Shantinath Charitable Trust, Surat; Mr. Kesariya Bhailalbhai Shah. At

Panjrapole, 100 people take care of a total of 1000 cows, 270 goats, 3 horses and 2

camels. The cattle are provided with good quality food thrice a day, and on special

occasions and festivals, they are also given sweets. Students donated Rs 3001/- towards

animal welfare.
