XIMBians Organize 'SPARSH', a FUN DAY for Slum Children

Addressing the students, Mr. Panda emphasized the importance of proper schooling for everyone.

He said he understood the hardships involved in getting a decent education since he himself had been educated in a rural school with minimal infrastructure. He also stressed on the need for teaching what is relevant to present society. He also praised the efforts of XIM and HLC in helping out the unprivileged masses.

This was followed by a free blood group test by the Red Cross Society of Bhubaneswar. The whole day long program also included sports, dance, singing and painting competitions for the children. Prizes were distributed to top 3 in each event. The students were also given goodies bags with stationery and crayons.

The teachers were impressed by the level of commitment shown by the XIMBians and believe that this could turn around the decreasing numbers of students in school.

Children Enjoying Sports Activities

"Such events should be conducted annually because initiatives like these encourage people to send their children to school" said Raghunath Marndi, teacher in Patrasahi School.

XIMB is known for its work in the field of emancipation of the poor and needy. The fact that the B-School has been able to produce excellent managers who are also socially conscious is commendable.

Concluded.
