  • 2 More decisions: IIMCAA Office Bearers Meeting on 11th November

    Dear IIMCians,

     

    In continuation with the earlier mail dated November 12, 2012 under subject line “Minutes of the office bearers meeting on 11th November“, I would like to add two more decisions which were taken in that meeting but were missed in the mail.

     

    They were as follows:

     

    1. Lifetime Membership: In addition to annual membership fee of 500/- INR there will be a provision of lifetime membership and a member need to pay 10,000/- INR for such membership.

    1. Logo of IIMCAA: The Association will invite IIMCians to design a logo to be adopted as the Official LOGO of the IIMC Alumni Association. A competition will be held to select such a LOGO. The designer of the selected logo would have to surrender the logo copyright to IIMCAA. Winner will be awarded with a lifetime membership and a gift at an official function of the IIMCAA.
     
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Delhi IIMC Students Celebrated Diwali with Slum Kids

    The current batch of IIMC, New Delhi celebrated Diwali in a heartening way this year. The students of this batch distributed new warm clothes among 50 underprivileged children living in the areas adjacent to the Campus on November 11, 2012.

    The proposal was first moved by Hindi Journalism Class Representative Adarsh Shukla, who shared his wonderful idea of distributing sweets & candles in Vasant Vihar slum areas with his classmates.
    HJ students later on discussed the beautiful idea with other Departments, Faculty members and Staff of the Institute. Everybody agreed on the same and small contributions were made by HJ, EJ, RTV, AD-PR, Faculty members and Staff. They all raised Rs 5,000/- in just two days.
    On November 11, IIMCians assembled again and decided to distribute warm cloths instead of sweets & candles by Rs. 5,000/-. Students bought 50 new warm clothes and distributed among children living on footpaths of Munrika, Ber Sarai and Vasant Kunj areas.
    Adarsh Shukla, Anand Dutta, Tarun, Kamini Patil, Aarti, Sumit Bandhu, Asha Kuntiya, Bhaskar, Aditya Kumar, Abhishek Sonkar (all from HJ), Vishwajeet Mukherjee, Aditya Kumar, Abhishek Sonkar (all from EJ), Ankit Roy, Bhavna Chauhan, Mohit Virmani, Nitin Gulati (all from RTV), Indrani, Nitesh, Nandita and Pushpanjali (all from Ad-PR) actively participated in this effort.
    IIMC Alumni Association congratulates the students of 2012-13 batch of IIMC, New Delhi for such kind initiative and hope they will continue their generous work in future as well.
