IIM-Lucknow to push sanitation management in villages

Lucknow: It's not for the corporate sector this time. Students of the premier Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow (IIM-L) will now apply their managerial skills to teach villagers sanitation and hygiene management.

Working on 'live projects', IIM-L students will interact, motivate and convince villagers to adopt suitable sanitation and hygiene practices to raise their living standards.

"The project entitled 'Sanitation and Hygiene Improvement' (SHI) will be launched next week," Dharmendra Singh Sengar, the IIM-L professor who conceptualised the project, told sources on Monday.

"As part of their social responsibility, our students decided to undertake the SHI project for villagers," added Sengar, who is also the founder chairman of IIM-L's committee for social initiatives.

According to committee members, the project would initially cover a rural population of nearly 400 in two villages adjoining the IIM-L campus.

"As we wanted to progress with SHI slowly but steadily, we decided to launch it for a limited rural population. Depending upon the feedback, we will re-formulate the project accordingly to extend it to other villages too," Sengar said.

Apart from teaching hygiene and sanitation practices, IIM-L students will also maintain a record of health and integrated child development services required in a village, and later approach the government for follow-up action.

Additionally, the students will promote vaccination drives and hold health camps.

Aware that it will have to face several challenges, IIM-L has roped in several social activists for implementation of the project.

"Various social activists have shown an interest and approached us for becoming a part of the project. One such social worker who will assist us is Dr. B.N. Singh, who was formerly associated with Unesco and had also headed rural development projects undertaken by the state government," Sengar said. IANS

IIM-L to organize programme on Corporate Social Responsibility

Lucknow: The Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow (IIM-L) has announced a three-day programme on Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Sustainability from December 18-20, 2008 at its Lucknow campus.

The programme is designed for middle and senior level managers and professionals in the corporate and non-corporate sectors who are connected in any way with managing their organizations on a sustainable basis. The programme will also appeal to consultants and non-governmental organizations.

"CSR has become increasingly significant in the current business scenario. Businesses, all across the globe, have started facing a business environment, which comprises not only traditional stakeholders, but also large numbers of non-traditional stakeholders - institutionalized community groups, environmental NGOs, minority groups, media and the society at large. Businesses, in order to perform in a sustainable manner, have to be responsive to the needs, demands and expectations of all these stakeholders", a spokesperson at IIM Lucknow said.

"In past two decades, business climate has radically changed and consequently, the rules of the competitive race are being rewritten. In order to gain competitive edge, firms need to adopt socially responsible strategies and deepen relationships with stakeholders. This training will sensitize corporate managers to various issues of CSR and expose them to international developments in sustainable business management", the spokesperson further said.

"In India, till very recently, the focus was on charity, which is not really CSR. Sustainable CSR programmes mean a cohesive mix of economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic tenets. In today's changed business scenario, there is an increased focus on giving back to society and creating a model which works long term and is sustainable and it is imperative that the best practices for inclusive growth are shared with the stakeholders", said Prof. Sushil Kumar, Programme Director.

Countless social and ethical issues frame relationship between business and various stakeholders including government and society.

Recent rash of scandals involving major corporate giants throughout the world have brought to the attention of public and academia the need to analyze these issues.

As corporate India struggles to finds its social and ethical identity in national and global business environment that grows increasingly complex, managers are confronted with exceedingly difficult challenges in balancing their economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities to the variety of stakeholder groups with which they interact.

The programme will dwell on the following modules to ensure that the participants will be exposed to the current international and domestic CSR initiatives and the need thereof.

Kozhikode: The Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode (IIM-K) announced that it has completed the summer placements process for the Class of 2010.

Despite the anxieties and the fear of reduced hiring due to the global economic scenario, national and international companies flocked to IIM Kozhikode for the Summer Recruitment process for the batch of 2008-2010.

With a 102 firms (up from 66 last year) participating in the process, 261 students in the batch got placed in different firms of their choice.

"What makes this commendable is that this was achieved in a year in which the student intake increased by 42 percent and with recruiters across all verticals generally cutting back on number of offers", an official at the institute said.

A coordinated effort by the faculty, alumni and the Placements Committee along with the strong relationship which the institute shares with its industry partners ensured that the Class of 2010 had no dearth of offers even in these economically severe times.

The excellent student quality at IIM-K, guided by a strong pedagogy and a constant thrust on overall personality development, was a reason enough for most of the firms to return to IIM-K for summer placements.

Summers 2009 saw students walk away with 14 international offers across various functions and in locations like Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany, Dubai, South Africa and London.

Summers 2009 truly marked the coming of age for IIMK. The current scenario tested the institute and its capability to provide good internships to its students.

"It is in times of adversity when the true strength is seen. IIMK has proved its mettle yet again by being one of the few campuses to finish its Summers Placements process in time and placing such a large number of students", the official added.

Banks and other financial institutions actually increased the number of offers as compared to last year. "We were quite impressed by the profiles of the students at IIM Kozhikode" said Sharad Goenka, Sr. Vice President at Corporate Banking at HSBC.

Some of the other banks that recruited from IIMK were Citibank, Standard Chartered Bank, American Express, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank.

Investment Banks like JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, and Edelweiss Capital were bullish on students at IIMK. Roles in Private Equity were on offers from Tata Capital, and IDG Ventures. A total of 27 percent of students will intern in finance companies.

A large chunk of students opted for the Strategy and Consulting roles. Arthur D Little, one of the world's top Management Consulting firms offered roles in its Dubai office.

The Freudenberg Group reaffirmed its relationship with IIM Kozhikode by picking up students for Strategy and Operations roles based in Germany and Hong Kong.

"I am quite excited about going to Germany for my summer internship", said Harshad Karandikar, first year student from IIMK who was amongst those selected for the summer internship by Freudenberg.

"I had joined IIMK for the kind of exposure and career opportunity it provides, and my internship with Freudenberg is a perfect start", he added.

Regular recruiters like Deloitte, Hewitt and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) picked up students for consulting roles. IIMK students were also offered niche roles in the Marketing and Operations Consulting space by Frost and Sullivan, Vertebrand Consulting and i2 Consulting.

Wipro and IBM also offered roles in their Consulting and Strategy divisions. 20 percent of the students would be interning in Consulting Firms in India and abroad.

"I was impressed by the processes followed by IIMK during the Summer Placements. The work done by the Placements Committee is commendable", said Thomas Kuruvilla, MD Middle East at Arthur D Little.

IIMK has always been a strong favourite of marketing firms, as can be seen by their participation in the summer's process.

While Nestle and Coca-Cola offered roles in marketing for the first time, regular recruiters like Hindustan Unilever (HUL), Colgate Palmolive, Marico, ITC, Aditya Birla Group and Johnson & Johnson picked students for roles in branding, sales and marketing, operations and logistics.

Coca-Cola was one of the firms offering highest domestic stipend at Rs.1 lakh for the duration of internship, while Vega Foods, a Singapore based company offered $6000 for the internship period. 22 percent of students will be doing marketing internships.

There was an excellent participation from the sunrise sector - with many students opting for internships in Media and Real Estate companies. Sony Entertainment Television, Viacom, Star News, BBC World offered both creative and marketing roles, while Ansal API, Godrej and ABG Infralogistics offered roles in Real Estate.

Naren Kumar, a 1st year student said, "I have always dreamed of doing something creative post my MBA. An internship with Sony TV will be a wonderful introduction to the media world for me".

This year also saw traditional recruiters giving summer internship roles in broader business divisions. In Systems and IT/ITeS vertical, while Cognizant gave roles in Business Consulting, TCS gave roles in Capital Markets.

Taiwanese hardware manufacturer ASUS participated for the first time. Conglomerates like Mahindra & Mahindra and international consortiums like the Buhler Group and Dutch State Group also took students for general management and strategy roles at international locations.

Summers 2009 also marked a paradigm shift in the attitude of the students towards exploring non traditional avenues for internships.

The Entrepreneurship-Cell at IIMK held a Start-Up Fair, in which 25 start-up firms participated and more than 150 enthusiastic students from the 1st and 2nd year interacted with them.

Several students who were interested in learning business hands-on in an entrepreneurial environment actually chose to do their summer internships in these start-ups rather than go to established firms.

"This is a great avenue for these firms to showcase the kind of careers one can have in wide and varied fields that MBA students think about", said Soheib Ali, a 2nd year student at IIMK. "I can confidently say that IIMK is going from becoming an institute that churns out world-class managers to an institution that encourages and cultivates top notch business leaders".

The start-ups offered varying profiles in the space of Investment Banking, Private Equity, Social Entrepreneurship, Educational services, Media, Healthcare, Travel and Tourism and Rural Marketing.

"With the global economic slowdown and with many firms resorting to layoffs and recruitment freezes, many had feared that this would adversely affect campus placements", said Dr. Keyoor Purani, the Placements Chairperson at IIMK.

IIM students launch portal to help new consultants

Lucknow: Interested in a career in business consultancy, but don't know where to begin? Well, for starters, you could log on to www.learn2consult.com, a portal launched by three students of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM).

"The portal has been designed in such a way that it acts as a one-stop shop for all those who want to know about consulting or want to start their career in the field," said IIM Lucknow (IIML) student and co-founder of the portal Karan Ahuja.

The portal's other founders are Alok Rustagi, a student of IIM Kozhikode, and Rajat Kashyap of IIML.

"As there was no comprehensive portal dedicated to graduate students, management students or beginners who want to make a career in consulting, we thought of designing such a website," added Ahuja.

The portal has also been linked to industry experts in order to provide expert guidance.

The other highlight of the portal is its 'Ask the expert' section where beginners can find answers to their queries and questions.

According to the IIM students, there are still lots of speculations and myths about consulting as a profession.

Most of the students don't have a clear focus towards consulting. This is primarily due to traditional preference for finance oriented jobs and lack of dedicated courses designed to train people in consulting skills, they said. IANS
