Stupendous events in the Global Institute
of Business Studies(GIBS) in Bangalore bring the curtains down upon another
event-filled year 2017. At the same time, the successful culmination of 2017
reminds that yet another batch is soon to take root that would keep the
institution busy from 2018 through 2020.
Firstly, the dramatic and studious
Convocation and then the anxiously awaited Student of the Year functions did
fulfill many long-standing dreams. Both occasions did seem like dream sequences
with recognitions of untiring scholastic efforts over the last two years for
the MBAs, absolutely deserving girls and boys who have proved themselves incredibly
well. Prayers remain for their wholehearted success in professional roles too.
May they come back to the GIBS campus with senior designations and the hallmark
of social and patriotic success.
The glittering, glam Student of the Year
did feel like one great party. If some were disappointed at not being awarded,
perhaps they need to wait a while longer and accolades will certainly come as a
deserved reward for earnest toil. Skills and abilities will not go unrewarded.
An action-filled student life is
successful
It has long been proved through research
that learning by doing and interactive learning are the most effective methods
of study. As witnessed in social media, it is pictures and videos rather than
text alone that are drawing all the attention. Images stick to the memory,
unlike text that is quickly forgotten. Then, how do you expect scholars to learn
hundreds and thousands of pages of lessons spread across endless volumes?
Rather than being lost in words and spending sleepless nights, especially
before examinations, dynamic new approaches to seminars and workshops,
activities and media-based learning should be followed.
A campus endowed with world class
educational infrastructure in a clean and green environment stands GIBS in good
stead. Sports, cultural and literary activities provide ample respite from
academic rigors. It is a great opportunity for new interests to grow and be
pursued with zeal and a purpose. A long list of clubs and committees provide
learning experiences in organization and management, preparing programs and
executing them. Working within and outside the campus, handling responsibility,
people and materials besides money can be challenging and present some
difficult situations.
The faculty and the management at GIBS
cannot help but admire the student prowess and the skills besides the energy
and the acumen of the batch passing out. Like seeds that promise to develop
into mighty trees, the students are waiting to blossom. Much of what happens in
life is the product of opportunities and experiences. While internships and
placements have already provided enough adventures to make a powerful
beginning, the highway called life runs for very long across many decades of
professionalism. While the immense
journey commences now, GIBS looks forward to remaining in contact with the
alumni and meeting up again, perhaps years later, when several ladders have been
climbed.
A Vigorous Sports Day
It was an occasion to get rid of many
pent-up mental frustrations after the intellect had been stretched to the limit
during all those scholarly researches. While games had been regularly played
through the session, the spirit of participation was commendable. Competitions
as diverse as cricket and football, chess and badminton, kabaddi and swimming
along with some others captivated the students and contributed to physical
fitness.
The pleasant sight once again reminded
what an important role physical fitness plays in student and professional life.
The intense competitions of corporate life that business management is all
about can hardly succeed without powerful physical skills in addition to all
the mind and leadership ability. Students certainly feel very good about
themselves and so much more confident after that euphoric sports dedication.
Chief Guest Yeshwanth Prakash did set a good example with his achievements in
the field of bodybuilding and his passion as a certified fitness trainer.
Six Sigma Training Program
How the complicated tasks in the industry
are managed by professionals to deliver high-quality goods and services is
quite a mystery! The Six Sigma approach answers some of those questions in
terms of quality management. Statistical research uses certain methods and
techniques to improve efficiency and networking, analysis and affordability. The students spent 40 hours covering those
intricate lessons and certainly reached very far as professionals.
The Six Sigma is a global phenomenon. In
fact, business school syllabi are similar in leading institutions throughout
the world. While some aspects may differ in institutions across the world,
essentially the lessons are the same. Cultural and linguistic conditions may
differ like the fees and physical infrastructure, but it does bring
satisfaction and unity to know that the lessons are quite similar.
Congratulations to Alumnus Mohd. Afzal!
Ending on a cheerful note with
well-wishing for a student of the 2015-17 batch. In Pune, he started a new
venture Indian Cake Studio and Café and wishes to build branches across the
country and Dubai too. May that dream succeed.
