Teacher’s Day Celebrations at IILM

“You Dream We Guide”

Becoming a teacher requires strong conviction and utmost commitment. Teachers’ Day is celebratedto acknowledge the indispensable role of a teacher in guiding and preparing the students to not only chase their passion in the choicest field but also achieve their dreams by keeping their moral values and sense of social responsibility intact.

Dr. Radhakrishnan was born on 5th Sep 1888 and became the President of India in 1962. He was approached by a group of his students and friends with a request to allow them to celebrate his birthday. Dr. Radhakrishnan’s reply was “instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers' day". This request showed Dr. Radhakrishnan’s love for the teaching profession. Whatever be the position he held whether as President or Vice President of India, he remained a teacher all his life. T The teaching profession always remained his first love. The highest award of the nation, The Bharat Ratna, was conferred on him in 1954 in recognition of his meritorious service to mankind.

The Cultural Club of IILM, one of Top Management college in Delhi-NCR celebrated this special day on Wednesday 5 September 2017 with utmost zeal. The students, who had been preparing for the grand event for more than a week, organised an appreciable show dedicated to their teachers. The students undertook a great effort in decorating the auditorium with intricate detailing and ensured that teachers are engaged and enjoy the event thoroughly. The event started with a melodious prayer followed by phenomenal dance performances, innovative music, and skit. The skit was the highlight of the event, there were giggles echoing all around the auditorium during the skit.

Amidst the extraordinary performances by students of IILM PGDM college, one of the Best B school of Delhi-NCR, there were innovative games like musical chair, tie-a-tie in 15 seconds challenge, drape-a-saree in 30 seconds challenge and Just a Moment (JAM) were conducted for the teachers by the students. The winners were gifted with yummy chocolates.

The efforts of the students were appreciated by all the teachers and we are thankful to our students for giving us beautiful memories to carry along until the next year.

Looking Ahead for The Future - IILM PGDM Convocation

The convocation ceremony for the 2015-2017 PGDM batch was held on 25th August 2017, with much pomp and splendour at the Top B school in Delhi NCR IILM Lodhi Road Campus in Delhi. Amidst the scenic beauty and serenity, the batch reconnected with each other and came together to celebrate the collective sense of accomplishments. As a new faculty, it was initially difficult for me to connect to the students who are getting graduated as one may not know them. however, I was assigned the duty at the registration desk along with another amazing newly joined and this helped us to know each and every student on the Top MBA college in India IILM LR campus, to say ‘Hi” to and yes register of course. what a great way to connect!! The last day on campus. no tension to attend classes or to appear for the exam. the joy simply reflected in wearing beautiful n smart dresses and looking extraordinary. the hug and selfies. And much more. The atmosphere was one of celebration inter mingled by some firm disciplinary yet ‘sweet’ scolding’s from the faculty and staff with whom they have spent some good as well as ‘challenging’ times!

It was a time to reminisce and look back at the two gruelling, adventurous, and life-changing years spent together. The students received their ceremonial robes and graduation caps and proceeded for the formal function.  The convocation marked the end of their journey as students, and marked the beginning of their climb up the corporate ladder. The guest lecture by the Chief guest, Mr. Bharat Kaushal, helped the students to value the education they received in past 2 years. within and without the classrooms!

The rains were an unexpected guest but it could not dampen the spirit of the attendees. the guests, parents, and faculty had a hearty chit chat and the atmosphere was nothing less than that of a celebration! I saw the whole Rai family, watching like a warm parent, the students whom they nurtured… with joy, pride and best wishes for their great future! The highlight of any convocation is the tossing of the hats in the air and so it was with one of the Aicte approved colleges  IILM with faculty running to save themselves from the flying hats! All in all, it was a day of joy, celebration, promises to stay connected and do well for oneself, others and yes carrying the honour and pride of being an IILM alumni.

Be the change! Be an Entrepreneur

“The entrepreneur always searches for a change, responds to it and exploits it as an opportunity” - Peter Ducker

As rightly said, the entrepreneurial qualities in any individual needs to be developed from the very initial stage. The Indian society is estimated to be 72% Entrepreneur-friendly, where entrepreneurship is preferred over many other services. There has also been a steady increase in the number of women entrepreneurs in the country today. Today some of the major corporations are being operated by women, positioned in higher authoritarian positions.

The biggest example of this can be given by stating the example of Mrs. Indra Nooyi, who is the CEO of PepsiCo. A graduate of Chennai University and PGDM (MBA) from IIM Calcutta, she’s the perfect example of entrepreneurial and leadership qualities intertwined into one. But the major difficulty lies in finding and formulating entrepreneurs in the Indian scenario. Studies have suggested that more than 51.9% of the Indian entrepreneurs do not have entrepreneurship running in their family, but have chosen to be an entrepreneur on their own wish. With the lack of institutions for entrepreneurial study in our country, the birth of entrepreneurs has been rather sluggish in India…

IILM is one such institution that has successfully taken up the task of generating real entrepreneurs in the Indian scenario. IILM offers 2 years full-time residential PGDM program to cater to the development of all aspects of a successful entrepreneur. With an AICTE approved college, it increases the importance and reliability of the program. The atmosphere has been designed in a way to provide a complete balance of education along with a peace of mind and quality learning to the students. The education imparted to the students is done with the primary motive to make them industry-ready once they leave the campus.

The full-time PGDM program from Top B school in India at IILM is designed in such a way so as to make the students familiar with all aspects of entrepreneurship. The students are provided with an Extensive Industry Exposure, primarily through the numerous national and international internship opportunities that are undertaken by them. At IILM, we seek to provide a holistic learning experience to the students, instead of just bookish knowledge. Hence, the students are encouraged to think out of the box and come up with new innovations. The focus has been on bringing the inherent qualities of the students to the brim.

IILM being amongst Top B School in Delhi-NCR aims at giving the students an outright corporate exposure. During the series, illustrious people from the world of business hold interactive sessions with the students, in order to make them aware of the opportunities and the challenges that they would face once they take their step into the world of entrepreneurship! At IILM we try to transform the students into entrepreneurs by the time they cross to the other side of the gate! Our students are also provided with a 100% placement assistance to help grab their dream job. With an impeccable 100% placement track-record since our inception, we have been successfully developing the entrepreneurial and leadership qualities of the students and place them where they are best-suited.

So, in order to resurface the entrepreneur in you, all that you have to do is walk in through the gates at IILM and we assure you that you will leave being a successful entrepreneur, possessing the perfect blend of leadership and innovative qualities!
