A Vibrant Campus Life at IILM

Campus Life,

A typical day on campus is exciting, challenging, zealous, active & inclusive. There is learning beyond the curriculum, which involves building on soft skills like teamwork, interactions, networking, and communication. The students are encouraged to pursue co-curricular interests, a variety of clubs and organizations exist on campus offering a range of leadership opportunities. They offer the scope of refining management and leadership skills, exploring interests and building networks.

Students at IILM have the opportunity to interact with business professionals & successful business managers in and out of the classroom set up all throughout the year. It works like a learning community where students are encouraged to make conscious decisions about the quality – rather than the quantity – of their engagement in a wide range of organizations, activities, and programs.

We also believe that students’ emotional and physical well-being is connected directly to their potential for academic, professional, and personal success. Through close collaboration and communication among faculty, staff, students, and their families, we work hard to ensure that every student is empowered to have a transformative IILM experience.

Some of the events that made a mark in 2016 -17 on campus with accompanied eminent personalities –

WORLD HEALTH DAY -An Initiative of Yuva Goonj (NGO Club) IILM Gurgaon

Campus Life

                           

The World Health Day (7th April) is a global health awareness day. And the highlight of this year was “Depression” which is a common mental disorder that affects people of all ages, from all walks of life, in all countries. The risk of becoming depressed is increased by poverty, unemployment, life events such as the death of a loved one or a relationship break-up, physical illness, health issues and problems caused by alcohol and drug use. Untreated depression can prevent people from working and participating in family and community life. To mark this occasion Yuva Goonj organized a talk by Dr. Rajesh Kumar MD (Medicine) of Paras Hospital for a talk on “Depression, its cause and mental health well- being”.

One of the important causes of Depression seen amongst youth today, is “Obesity”. The drive to remain slim is getting stronger and not able to reach the required status have led people to depression irrespective of their gender. Obesity can cause poor self-image, low self-esteem, and social isolation, all known to be good contributors to depression. Those who are obese can also find themselves ostracized, stereotyped, and discriminated against. The extra weight carried around by obese people can result in chronic joint pain as well as serious diseases like diabetes and hypertension, all of which have been linked to depression.

Dr.Rajesh gave a very interesting lecture on how food habits lead us to the various health issues like Obesity and diabetes and finally leading to “Depression”. He also broke myths about the diet plans that we generally follow due to the paucity of time in our day to day schedule. He focused on the importance of eating in the correct time and the correct proportion.

This was followed by an awareness session by “DATRI” on Blood Stem Cell Donation. Datri helps save lives of those suffering from life threatening disorders like Leukemia, Lymphoma etc. With very few registered donors available in India, the chances of finding a match for an Indian patient anywhere in the world is bleak. Datri is working towards creating a wider diverse database of potential donors across the world that can be accessed by any patient in need of a Blood Stem cell Transplant.

A good number of students and staff had registered themselves soon after the session as donors, an act truly honored by all present.

MASTER’S SUPER LEAGUE

been six months and we have taken part in many activities be it HR, Marketing or finance activities. But this time we came out with an idea to merge two clubs i.e finance & sports into one mega activity.

In this way the idea of MASTER’S SUPER LEAGUE –“TUG-O-WAR” came into picture through brain storming among first year PG students. We came consensus that we will have an auction before the game. The real motive to bring auction into the picture was to make the students analysis and implement different tactics and put them in a real time situation like IPL or ISL’s auctions.

On 21st DEC 2016, we scheduled the auctions ceremony, there were four franchises comprising of two teachers and one student for their help. The auction lasted for one hour and the energy level was quite high from the franchises. The focus was to make a team of four boys and three girls as this was the mandatory criteria. But for the backup purpose spare players were added into the squad. Money was the constraints as virtual money of INR 50 million  were awarded to each franchise. So, it was very much difficult task that “where to invest and how to invest”. On the block there were 30 boys and 20 girls to be taken into teams. Base price for each female player was kept at 2 million and for each male player at 1 million after the end of many rounds of fierce bidding and counter bidding & auction every franchise was satisfied with their team they have bought.

On 22nd DEC 2016, the day came when these franchises were competing against each other. There were semi-finals and finals as there were only four teams. Looking at the teams’ one could easily estimate that the game was going to be very impressive as well as aggressive. And yes we can’t forget the roaring voices and thundering claps of the crowd’s cheering for their favorite teams. After six block buster rounds (including tie breaker) and many bruises in the hands of players, we had a winner in front of our eyes.

Many of us will think that tug-o-war is only based on strength but by combining auctions and providing money constraints we were able to introduce mind games.
