A handout stated that IIM Sirmaur is the only IIM in the country to run MBA in Tourism Management. During last few years, IIM Sirmaur has achieved membership of various national and international bodies like-The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, All India Management Association, National HRD Network, Confederation of Indian Industry, Association of Indian Management School to name a few.
IIM Sirmaur also holds the distinction of being led by first-ever women Director, Professor (Dr.) Neelu Rohmetra, and the institute has made vivid progress in developing students holistically, while also striving for increased corporate and social connectedness. Simultaneously, the institute has also planned its permanent campus near Dhaula Kuan District Sirmaur for which a grand foundation stone laying ceremony was organized on 4 Aug 2020. IIM Sirmaur has a successful placement record since its inception.
On the occasion of sixth foundation day of IIM Sirmaur, Prof. Rohmetra congratulated IIM Sirmaur fraternity and said: “If we make enthusiasm our goal, then the question of what would happen to us would not come up.”
She pondered the importance of getting joy from work or assignments rather than just doing it mechanically.
“As management professionals it is required to bring discipline which helps in thinking calmly and adopting a balanced approach to problems,” she said hinting at more sessions of this kind to help in improving soft skills of not only students but the entire IIM Sirmaur fraternity.
Earlier, Swami Prabuddhanand gave a talk in online mode.
Speaking on the topic ‘Staying motivated all the time’, he pointed out that having goals is very important in our lives but it is equally important to be clear on what we want from life.
He was also accompanied by Shri Uday Krishna who explained the difference between inert and enthusiastic people metaphorically by taking the example of nitrogen and oxygen in our atmosphere.
With the help of a video playback of Sri Sri Ravishankar, he emphasized the importance of meditation and narrated the ingredients of a peaceful life with full of enthusiasm and what can be achieved with such a life.
The event was organized by the event management committee of IIM Sirmaur.
