IIMC Formal Welcome

17th Jun 2009
We had our formal welcome to the institute today. It was a well conducted ceremony with Mr. Harsh K Jha, Managing Director of Tata Metaliks as the chief guest. Other eminent dignitaries of the institute including the director, PGP Chairman, FP Chairman and Chairman in charge for admissions were present on the dais.
The speeches by all the speakers were thought provoking to say the least. The pin drop silence and the attentive look on everybody’s face was testimony to the level of seriousness that each one of us had regarding his stay here.
Mr. Jha, the chief guest, spoke in the end. His speech was a summary of all the other speakers before him but he pointed out certain key aspects to what an IIMCian is expected of. The talk was inspiring and insightful. He highlighted the sacrifices that everybody, right from parents, friends, relatives to the common man, have made so that we can have the best opportunities to enhance our careers and in turn repay to society what it has invested in us. Inspiring us to be more than mere professionals who would have among the best analytical skills in the market, he gave many examples of people who have taken extra efforts and have shown the courage to be unconventional and made an impact on society and its people.
