Online Initiatives From NMIMS Bangalore

 The pandemic has not dimmed the enthusiasm of our students at Bangalore. There is a spate of online events by different clubs and committees. Two of them are kicking off this weekend. The first is a TED-X talkathon on Saturday the 16th, and then a Strategy Conclave -online, of course- by the Strategy Club. 

Two of the speakers at the TED-x event - you may recognise at least one. Dalip Tahil, above.

From the Strategy Conclave- Prof. Harsh Vardhan, the mentor faculty, above, and a member of Paramarsh team, below at the event on Jan. 16th.

It is commendable that these students are able to organise events from multiple locations, while not being able to meet physically. Maybe this will facilitate future organization of such events and others too. Of course, personal meetings build a different sort of closeness and camaraderie and might be a different experience in some ways. But this is quite good, and the best possible alternative under the circumstances.

We also have another mega event, the Annual Convocation, happening online in the coming week. On the 23rd morning, to be precise. We all are looking forward to the much-delayed event. Again, a physical event would have been nice to have, but we have to move on, just as many other universities or institutions have. Mr. Ganesh Shenoy, CFO, MTR Foods, will be our Chief Guest at the Convocation.
