Abhyudaya is a unique pedagogic innovation that aims to foster social responsibility among B-school students through experiential learning. Through this initiative, students get an opportunity to mentor bright underprivileged students from neighbouring schools and in turn become socially aware, empathetic managers in the future. This gives them an opportunity to understand urban poverty and the challenges that come along with it. DOCC is another such initiative that gives the participants an opportunity to understand the Indian ethos and culture by working in the social sector with a non-profit organisation. Participants learn a lot about the challenges and opportunities in the social sector, primarily in rural India, while the NGOs get managerial inputs during the DOCC internships.
Socially sensitive corporate leaders driven by values and ethics are the best gift our education system can give to the world. Through innovative non-classroom initiatives, we are trying to imbibe qualities that will hold tomorrow’s corporate leaders in good stead. The change in attitude needs to be made at the foundation level through education. We, at SPJIMR, strive to influence practice and promote value-based growth to help our students become socially sensitive corporate leaders with a global mindset.
