Students of IIM Lucknow, the socially conscious future managers
Ever since the first batch of students passed out of IIM Lucknow in 1986, they have been renowned for being not just fine managers, but also socially conscious ones. Bhavishya, is a student-run social initiative of IIM Lucknow, aimed at inculcating this social awareness amongst the budding managers. It is the united voice of students against the strains in our society. It aims at leveraging the managerial competencies to monitor projects targeted at the underprivileged strata of the social pyramid and channelizing funds to the appropriate sections of the society.
Harmony Cup, started in 2007, is an annual cricket tournament organized by Bhavishya to raise funds for various social causes. Harmony Cup 2011 was held from 12-15 November. Over the years Bhavishya and IIM Lucknow has been associated with various causes including sponsoring education of the underprivileged, helping orphanages, supporting women empowerment and successfully working towards creating an impact in society. Funds raised last year were utilized to build a library in Prakash Bal Vidya Mandir, a Government school in Gomtinagar and construct the building for a school run by the NGO, Bachchon ki Duniya in Gannapurwa.
This year the event saw heavy participation from campus committees and non-committee teams along with generous contributions from the entire student community of IIM Lucknow. The event was presented in association with State Bank of India, who were the title sponsors of the event. The entire fund raised from the event will be utilized to support a free medical and operation camp, organized every year in Barabanki, UP; support the education of under-privileged girl children through the NGO, Prerna; and also set up an Employee Welfare Fund for Contractual Workers of IIM-Lucknow.
The tournament saw some intense competition from the teams and finally, the coveted Winners trophy was won by the Placement Controls Team who defeated Rolling Enterprises in a closely contested final. The traditional IIML Faculty versus Students Council match added glamour to the event and was won by the Council team in the final over. With over 250 students participating in the entire event, the campus was abuzz with loud cheers and excitement during the tournament.
Though it is a cricket tournament, the objectives and outcomes are far-reaching in nature. All funds raised through the event directly go towards the identified causes. The entire IIM Lucknow community strongly believes in the power of collective action to tackle society's problems. The Harmony Cup is a movement to bring together everyone who wants to contribute to a cause, so that together, we can make a powerful impact.

Fw: B'lore talk by Sudhir Patnaik (Samadrusti) on Challenges before Alternative Media - Nov-24, 5 pm, Feroze Estate
Dear friends,
We are happy to inform you that Sudhir Patnaik, the renowned activist intellectual from Orissa will be in Bangalore to attend a meeting on November 24, 2011. Perhaps you may be aware that Sudhir Patnaik has been bringing out a magazine called SAMADRUSTI in Oriya for more than a decade. SAMADRUSTI has been a major space for diverse people’s movements in Orissa like Kashipur, Vedanta, POSCO as well as the burning
communal issues. His role in articulating such concerns is commendable.
We, from the People’s Solidarity
Cocerns, would like to use this opportunity to explore his experiences on the
growing people’s movements and media. He has kindly agreed to share his
concerns to activists, media persons and youth in Bangalore.
We would like to invite you to participate in a talk by Sudhir Patnaik on the `Challenges before Alternative Media’ on Nov. 24th at 5 pm at the top floor of Feroze Estate Building, Prestige Feroze, No. 74, Cunningham Road Bangalore. Sudhir Patnaik is now planning a similar national magazine in English which can provide a voice for people’s concerns. He will be speaking about this forthcoming venture also.We request all friends to join these
concerns and inform all friends who may be interested in the subject.
You know, SAMADRUSTI is the most vibrant alternative magazine in Odisha now. Perhaps the only media, it has been carrying the causes of people uncompromisingly - be it POSCO,Niyamgiri, Kalinga Nagar, Mahanadi, Kandhamal or any issue. Even, on national/internationalissues such as Gujarat pogrom, Mumbai bombing, Anna's Jana Lokapal campaign, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya it has been publishing very powerful write-ups with a people's perspective.
About SAMADRUSTI
SAMADRUSTI has been surviving on readers' subscriptions and casual donations from very close friends and well-wishers. Also, more than
50% of copies of it being circulated free of cost among activists, people's movements, left party workers and others. It never carries any advisement backed by any corporate.
Many activists feel SAMADRUSTI has a national appeal and its quality is no less than any national level magazine. To enable it to reach to the national audience, Sudhir bhai is contemplating for an English edition There is a need to support and strengthen SAMADRUSTI Itneeds write-ups from other states in English, annual subscriptions, mobilisation of individual well-wishers.
