Honoring Swami Vivekananda's Legacy
On the auspicious occasion of National Youth Day, 12th January 2024, the Institution's Innovation Council (IIC) at Jaipuria Institute of Management (JIM), Indirapuram, hosted an inspiring online essay competition. This event was a fitting tribute to the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, a luminary whose teachings continue to ignite young minds.
The Power of Pen and Perspective
With a theme titled 'Vision of Indian Youth for India @2047', the competition was more than a mere contest. It was a platform for the youth to reflect on their country's journey and dream boldly about its future, aligning with Swami Vivekananda's vision. The essays submitted by students of MBA (Dual) and Banking and Finance at JIM Indirapuram were not only articulations of their visions but also a mirror to the ethos of the young Indian mind.
A Digital Confluence of Ideas
Embracing the digital age, the competition unfolded virtually, with submissions made in pdf/word format, ensuring an inclusive participation. The organizing committee's use of digital platforms exemplified the innovative spirit of JIM, connecting students despite physical boundaries.
Rigor and Recognition
A panel of esteemed faculty members and subject experts judged the essays on originality, clarity, coherence, and relevance. It was a celebration of thought and articulation, where the analytical and creative met. Mr. Deepanshu Pandey (BFS) and Ms. Prateeksha Katara (MBA Dual) emerged as the winners, each receiving a certificate of achievement presented by Dr. Rashmi Bhatia, the Dean of Academics.
Intellectual Flourishing and Celebration
The event did more than commemorate a historical figure; it reignited the passion for intellectual discourse and creativity among students. Fifteen young minds participated, and their essays were a testament to their critical thinking and innovative spirit. JIM Indirapuram reaffirms its commitment to fostering a culture of academic excellence and holistic development with such initiatives.
A Beacon for Future Endeavors
As JIM Indirapuram continues to mold the leaders of tomorrow, events like the National Youth Day essay competition stand as cornerstones in its endeavor. They remind us that the youth are not just the future but the vibrant present, shaping the narrative of a nation marching towards its centennial independence.
