IIM, Indore Organizes MP Darshan For Students

Students also visited various self help groups formed under the Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana which provides assistance to the poor families living below the poverty line in rural areas for taking up self employment.

The visit acted as an eye opener for the students, a majority of whom come from the urban India as they realised the value that the rural people give to basic amenities such as water, electricity etc. They also looked into the possibility of PURA (Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas), a pet project of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. Dr. Kalam in his visit to IIM Indore had motivated students to develop PURA plan for different districts of Madhya Pradesh.

Border Security Forces also provided a lifetime opportunity to students of IIM Indore by inviting them to stay at their camps, observe their activities and learn about the hardships that they face. Shreyas Panse, a student who visited Amritsar camp felt that the experience was exhilarating as they got a chance to learn the art of man-management of the highest degree.

Dr. N. Ravichandran, Director, IIM Indore was thankful to the CM Secretariat and the District Administrators, for helping in the successful completion of the first version of MP Darshan. Director also thanked the BSF for the invaluable exposure to the students about the life and hardship that BSF goes through to protect our borders. He advised the students to keep the learning experience higher than the consultation role. He was happy to see that the students were sensitised to the ground realities and promised to continue this programme in the years to come.

Concluded.
