A Helping Hand ...

They don't need our pity, neither our sympathy. They seek a life of dignity and self-dependence and they seek our help towards achieving it. That was the essence of Sparsh- the social responsibility event in which participants were asked to solve cases based on the problems faced by the NGOs - Samarthanam and Seva In Action. These NGOs aim to make the physically disabled employable. The event involved the finalists visiting these NGOs in Day0 and getting to know their operating model and existing facilities. Thereafter, they had to come up with plans to improve the returns on existing infrastructure and think of future areas of growth within the budget constraint of the NGOs.

The finalist team did their ground work well and impressed the jury with innovative and well-thought ideas. The team from TAPMI (Beacon) and the team from IIM Bangalore (Utkarsh) were adjudged for the best idea for case Samarthanam and Seva In Action, respectively.
