Proposed Campus Initiatives SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Initiating an IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) club at IIM C: In an era of so much plagiarism and with so much research prevailing at the IIM C campus it

is really important to have an IPR club which would aim towards guiding students how to file

a patent for their intellectual property and what measures can be taken if they dont receive

proper recognition for their intellectual property.

Improving the current dining system: Allowing a student to choose which mess he mess he wants to eat in. With such a fast

moving world where students want to utilise every minute of their day productively, giving a

flexibility to choose a mess according to their convenience might be useful in saving some

precious time.

Bringing in a facility of hand-rickshaw/e-rickshaw: Considering the time it takes to reach Academic block/Co-operative store from LVH, it would

be useful if students have an option of choosing to go rickshaw which could save them a lot

of time. This would also be useful for someone suffering from an injury from some time. The

rickshaws would be an additional paid service and pricing can be regulated by the student

body.

Common Rooms/Discussion rooms: Proposal to build a common room which can be used for group student

activities/discussions and can be accessed by the students at any time of the day. Currently

the hostel rooms are good to accommodate only 2-3 people for such a discussion.
