XIM-Bhubaneswar Marches Against Corruption

XIM-Bhubaneswar Marches Against Corruption

On the 19th of November 2008, Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB) participated in the Corruption Awareness Campaign initiated by the Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow in memory of Manjunath Shanmugham - the martyr who paid with his life just because he took a stand against corruption.

The event was started with speeches by Dr. Ramana and Prof. Banikanta Mishra, faculty members at XIM-B. They pointed out that corruption has now become rampant in our society and that it is up to us to make sure that we weed out this disease once and for all. A few students also spoke about the issue at hand. A minute's silence was then observed to pay obeisance to Manjunath.

A peace march was then organised. Students, faculty members with their families and the support staff all came together and marched holding candles from the XIM-B campus to Xavier Square and back. Prof. Latha Ravindran, faculty member at XIM-B, then led the gathering in a pledge to fight corruption in all its forms and to stand as a beacon of hope for the country's future.

Concluded.
