We CareLet’s Spread SmilesDr. APJ Abdul Kalam has been an inspiration for all over the world and more so in IIM Shillong. It was because he breathed his last in the hallowed walls of this college, and thereby it comes down to us, the students of IIM Shillong a moral responsibility to carry forward his ideas in letter and spirit. And with this motivation in mind, the participants of PGPEx- MBIC 2017 organized “We Care”, a student driven charitable event. A visit to the Madanrting Government LP School was organized on November 02, 2018 afternoon in an attempt to bring some change in the lives of children studying in that school.

The school has a total of 89 children from Nursery to Class - V, of which 18 students come from shelter homes. They were in dire need of support ranging fromwaterpurifiers,CFLbulbs,stationeriesandsportsgoods.Anyefforttobridge the gap was received with lot of gratitude by the teachers and students alike. A big cake was cut and one could see the happiness in the eyes of the children as they scrumptiously ate cake and food. As the sports & stationery goods were handed over to the Headmistress of the school, some of us helped outimmediatelybychangingthebulbsandarrangingthewaterfilters.Everysimple small step we did, were met with happy eyes and shy faces. They are the future and it felt great as the light shone on their bright eyes. A belief that an all-around education can make the future strong and secure held strong in our minds.

Everything was made possible because of the great team work and whole hearted support of PGPEx participants (both 2017 & 2018 batch) to make the “We Care” initiative such a great success. It was a legacy handed over to us by the seniors to be aware of one’s social responsibility and which we feel we were able to pass on to the future batch in turn. As we returned back to our college, it was a feeling of contentment to be able to give back to the society in the spirit of “caring and sharing”. After all, we believe, that the joy of success resides not only on what one achieves for oneself but also in spreading the warmth of one’s achievement for the development of others especially, young children, our tomorrow.

Learning gives creativity. Creativity leads to thinking.

Thinking provides Knowledge. Knowledge

makes you great.

- Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

PGPEx-MBIChasfinallyhitasix!Weweretherewhenitscoredfour.Itwasapleasant experience to be part of the IIM, Shillong family. The best part about

IIM Shillong is the location from an academics point of view. It gives the perfect setup for someone who wants to devote time in studies. Serene environment in the lap of the nature. I enjoyed playing golf in the greens.

As far as our course is concerned, it’s still in the developmental stage. It has huge scope for building professionals to take care of the business between the two giants in this part of the world! The China immersion part gives the students enough time to come up with the Chinese culture and their way of doing business. Qingdao is a beautiful city. It gives immense opportunities for getting insights into the way the Chinese think.

My best wishes for the present batch to have a memorable stay in China.

Regards,Bhabakrishna Ray Talukdar

At the age 31, with 7 years of experience in corporate I decided to pursue one- year of full time MBA. It was my 2nd Masters, like many of my batch mates. IIM Shillong is away from the hustle bustle of the big cities and provides a

perfect ambience to concentrate on studies. China module and internship provides the perfect global exposure. Participants come with diverse skills and experience, and study groups are formed by B-School keeping the same diversity in each group for maximum learning from each others experience. Faculty is outstanding and teaching is case study based for real world learning. I made best of friends and take away great learning and memories for life from the time spent at IIM Shillong.

Life @ IIM Shillong

Present day China is an amalgamation of old world traditions and the new world charm. The two co-exist like the traditional Yin-Yang formula of balance, where we have skyscrapers on one side and heritage buildings on the other, people’s paradoxicalaffinityfordimsumsaswellasMcDonald’s.

China today houses a plethora of choices in terms of fashion, food, music, trends, sports, automobiles (engineered and reverse engineered), choices so overwhelming,sometimesitbafflesyoutounderstand.‘IstheresomethingtheChinese can’t do?’!

The opening up of the Chinese Economy to foreign investment and influencebegan in earnest from the 1900’s, this century onwards the economy really took off, moving at a rapid pace towards holistic development of the economy. The Chinese are people, who place a high value on Collectivism. Everything they do, much like the Indians, is done in groups. They believe that more can be done and achieved when done together.

Life in

China

While ‘Miracle’ and ‘Communism’ bear a certain level of incongruence, China has surprisingly enabled the amalgamation of both these words. Quick, Effective andEfficientareafewwordstodescribethepacewithwhich the economy has grown in the last few years. It is amazing to see how communism affects even the most personal human interactions, and influences thecollectivism in the lives of everyday Chinese citizens since they are born.

As business leaders, it is imperative to understand that your Chinese partners and customers may not definevaluesthesamewayyoudo,asformanypeople,individual accomplishments or desires are still secondary to societal, familial or organizational obligations.

This country seems to grow at an unprecedented rate, with things moving so fast, one is caught in a paradox between polishing this need for things to change yet staying the same - a tricky task in any circumstance, fearing when one can possibly slip into oblivion! China hasshownflexibilityandstrongresolveinitscontinuedpursuit for wealth and power. Today these goals are within reach and China stands on the verge of greatness. It’s an incredible investment in the future because people are optimistic, because people are working hard and because they have invested in their future and that of others. The future of businesses grow when it is supported by a dedicated government and a dedicated set of people. One for all, and all of one - a maxim aptly fitting!Thatiswhathappenswhenyouhaveadynamiceconomywhichisconfidentaboutitsfuture,allthathasbeen achieved these past remarkable years, have been done so with peace and prosperity.
