IIM-A to introduce new events at Confluence 2010

Apart from the usual activities like workshops and seminars, the upcoming Tata Confluence 2010 at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) will see a key new event this year.

Titled 'Campaign for a Cause', the event uses audio-visual medium as an effective means of communication to highlight public policy issues. Shortlisted teams would be presenting their short films to a jury comprising noted film actor Rahul Bose, producer-director Vipul Shah and Tamil film producer and IIMA alumnus Prof Bharathan Kandaswamy, who will be on campus for this event. The final winners will then have their movies screened on the next two days of Confluence. Issues such as ragging, problems of diamond workers, relocation problems etc would be studied in this event.

 

To kick-off on Friday, November 26, 2010, the Tata Confluence 2010 at IIM-A campus would soon be host to industry stalwarts and students from top management schools across the country.

Another key event for Tata Confluence 2010 will be 'Podium'.

An attempt to involve the students in determining innovative solutions in order to solve the challenges of making the market place, the government and the society a more inclusive one, the event has received entries on various topics such as CSR activities that can be undertaken, new Business Models that cater to the BOP Market, developing a framework to evaluate inclusiveness of public policy, PPP Models that can combat corruption, dignified Living for everyone and many more.
