Every year Dept. of Palliative Medicine of Tata Memorial Centre celebrates the second Saturday of October as World Hospice and Palliative Care Day. Campaigning for this cause is organized in a form of a walk from Shivaji Park to Tata Memorial Hospital. Like last year, this year too students from GNIMS took an active participation in this event along with the faculty members. The walk started from Shivaji park cruised via Tilak bridge, Dadar TT, Parel and converged at Tata Memorial Hospital. The energy and the spirit of the volunteers participated in the rally for the cause of cancer awareness was indeed commendable.

Guru Nanak Institute of Management Studies is committed to developing a pool of high quality, professionally groomed and environmentally sensitized management graduates who would be respected for their professional knowledge and social values. GNIMS is committed to continually upgrade the curriculum to match current global needs and priorities and offer pedagogy and infrastructural facilities accordingly to its students.

Dr. Ajit Singh – Secretary Local Management Committee of SGPC in his welcome address mentioned that the role played by the police in a common man’s life cannot be taken for granted. The bond between the society and police needs to be strengthened.

We at GNIMS consider social responsibility as our primary task. We take up initiatives to bring about a positive change in social forces such as Police, Municipal Corporation, Municipal Hospitals etc; as these forces strive hard to keep our society hassle-free.

On 14th and 15th January 2012, we organized a workshop for the Sion – Matunga police force. Overall, 75 police personnel participated in the workshop. The workshop comprised stress management, the basics of communications and time management. The topics were handled skillfully by eminent speakers such as Dr. Yusuf Matcheswalla, Dr. Ali Akbar Gabrani and Prof. Lalita Paranjape.

The workshop was designed specifically for the police force to help them overcome their everyday stressful lifestyle. Dr. Matcheswalla touched upon the causes of why some of policemen get addicted to tobacco, alcohol and other vices. He emphasized upon de-addiction strategies. Dr. Gabrani discussed the Type A and Type B personalities with specific reference to police. He added upon importance of simple living. Prof. Lalita Paranjape touched upon the communication skills and time management for police. All three speakers stimulated the crowd.

This initiative taken by GNIMS is a first step towards the larger social cause.

Objective of the event: The event allowed students to get a bird’s eye view of the practical aspects involved in establishing an enterprise. The event also gave a student an idea of how CSR can be a part of day – to day business. It was 1 day’s event. Students in groups of six had to make a maximum investment of Rs. 600/- to start a business of their choice. The product / services were bought by students anqd faculties of Guru Nanak Institute of Management Studies and Khalsa College. The funds raised from the event were donated to different NGO’s

GNIMS students had organized this event with due to respect our National Flag. The campaign was organized on 26th January, 2010:

The students went on the field on January 26, collected the flags littering around, send them to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).The also ensured that the BMC disposed them off with due respect, as per legal provisions. The exercise taught them ground realities, which they would not learn by attending lectures.
