IIPM has been organizing blood donation camp every six months. The Help Voluntary blood Bank is actively involved in this activity. One day prior to the actual blood donation camp, a session on awareness was done by Help Voluntary blood Bank. They were explaining the need of donating blood in today’s era where the supply is always lower than demand. They also emphasize on the fact that donating blood does not cause any problems as the blood lost gets replenished in hours and glucose level come back to normal. Moreover, it’s good to stand for a noble cause which can save various lives by giving a single unit of blood.
With this thought the actual blood donation camp came into picture on 2nd December 2011. It started at 12:00 pm and lasted for 3 long hours where the number of units collected was 35. There was an active participation not only from the students but from the faculty and staff too. The criteria for donating blood were that one’s weight should be at least 50 Kg; Blood pressure has to be normal and hemoglobin as 12.5. In this process many were disappointed, as they were not able to donate blood due to lack of some or the other above criteria. To overcome the problems Dr. Aparna who was involved in taking the blood samples also gave advices and iron tablets to increase the hemoglobin levels. The process of donating blood was very simple and it took just about 5-10 minutes for completion. Then the donors were given some snacks and drink to replenish the glucose levels immediately. The whole event was grand and successful leaving the mark in everyone’s mind about the cause for which they stood and happily satisfied at the end. More Latest News..... Blocking the inevitable - Article by Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri, The Pioneer - 02 December 201119/12/2011 Many sectors of our national economy have been thrown open to foreign direct investment. That has not led to the demise of indigenous enterprise. Similarly, FDI in the organised retail sector will not push corner stores out of business. If anything, it will enhance their competitiveness, lead to improved services, better quality and affordable prices for consumers
The UPA Government and the Opposition have locked horns over the entry of foreign private players in the retail segment. The debate is imperative as the retail industry has always been considered as the nerve system of any nation, and this industry has in most of the cases even helped nations revive themselves during bad times. So it is interesting to evaluate the entire debate from an analytical dimension as well. Currently, organised retail in India is only two per cent of the retail industry; clearly, a huge opportunity is waiting to be unleashed. The opportunity can be gauged from the fact that the American organised retail market is 80 per cent of the overall retail market, Thailand is at 40 per cent and China at 20 per cent. If, on the one hand organised retail is a global reality, then on the other the Indian middle-class has the given power to splurge, making the proposition viable. Then why is there a protest? The fact is that the ongoing nationwide protests against foreign entry in retail are a bit too late, and based more on a campaign by emotionally-charged political parties that lack pragmatism. After allowing FDI everywhere, why are there these recent dramatics against retail? Every Government in the past has made deals and allowed foreign direct investment to enter systematically into India without a plan in place to make Indian firms competitive beforehand. We systematically ruined Indian competitiveness; yet, now for publicity, are creating a hullabaloo against the opening up of retail. The fact is that FDI in retail is inevitable. If things go right, then the entry of foreign firms in the long run should benefit the overall economy by subsuming farmers, producers of finished goods, creating mass-scale employment, increasing Government revenue and hopefully cleansing the muck that lies in our storage and distribution. If all falls into place, then organised retail market is expected to reach approximately $260 billion by 2020. It would augment income levels of all stakeholders to the tune of $35-45 billion a year, new employment generation to the tune of three to four million directly and four to six million indirectly. With foreign multinationals setting up shop across the country, the exchequer would likely bloat by $25 billion to $30 billion per year. The small and medium enterprises are likely to prosper too and learn the concepts of enhanced production, higher productivity, assured supply, quick payment and better quality. It will further boost the organised retail growth - a sector that is already growing at an impressive 24 per cent in the last three years. The retail sector would also increase the farmers’ income. So, of course, it is inevitable for India to allow FDI in retail, and the writing on the wall is clear. But in all this, almost everyone is missing out one moot question which is fundamental to the success of the Indian retail story. Amongst other clauses that the Government has put, one interesting clause is that, these large retailers have to essentially source their supplies from the small and medium enterprises to the tune of 30 per cent.

IIPM More News GIDF, USA Chapter started its operation in Oct 2010 in the state of Massachusetts, USA. The objective of operating in USA is not only to create and spread awareness related to child education, women empowerment, livelihood and health but also to make the people of United States believe in the cause and raise a helping hand in order to eradicate the elements leading to the cause. GIDF USA structured many marketing tools but the first and the most effective way to get the word out, about these worthy causes was through a donation flyer called ‘Hamari Gudiya’. The prime objective of this flyer was sending a girl child to school. This initiative was not only cost effective but one of the most powerful tool to reach out to masses. After identifying the right marketing tool, it required to approach the right locations, which were none other than the HIGH TRAFFIC LOCATIONS and what could be more crowded than the upscale malls during winter and Holiday season. So GIDF USA partnered with a chain of casual Indian fast food restaurant – Gourmet India. Gourmet India is located in various upscale malls in Massachusetts and has a huge number of customers visiting these locations on daily basis. GIDF placed these donation flyers on the communication center of each restaurant. These communication centers have been placed in such a way that when a customer is waiting for the meal or a drink or even if he passes by gourmet India location, he is forced to look toward the communication center and of course towards ‘Hamari Gudiya’. Placing these flyers on the communication center of a busy restaurant or any location which is full of activities leads to creating visibility, awareness and value to the product or service and that is exactly what happened in our case. Our main purpose of putting these flyers was to market GIDF and create awareness but to our surprise we have not only been able to meet our objectives but we have also started getting donations. This has been our very first initiative which has and is helping us in communicating and connecting directly with the target audience. GIDF USA is also approaching other high traffic and crowded locations in Massachusetts like Indian grocery stores, salons, Banks etc in order to generate more visibility, awareness and support from the potential donors. Hamari Gudiya flyer has generated a very positive outlook amongst the potential donors and given GIDF USA a platform which is for sure leaning towards success. So come, join us in our journey to share the dream. Read More.... IIPM More News
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We Share Because We Care 1st to 3rd November 2010 This time, on behalf of the GID Club, the IIPM students organized a Diwali event starting from 1st November, 2010 till 3rd November, 2010. These days were especially dedicated for the less-privileged but special kids. On the first two days of the event, we had set up a counter and named it “I SHARE”, wherein students were invited and informed about this beautiful event. It was remarkable to notice that students were willing to listen to us and the amazing part was that we were able to collect gifts around Rs. 12000 and cash around Rs. 6000, which was also used for purchasing more gifts for the little ones. All the items, like Cadbury Celebrations et al, were gift wrapped especially for the occasion of Diwali. Some students also gifted puzzle boxes, stationary items like pencil, rubber, scale etc. Some gifts carrying little financial value but a lot of meaning and perspective while the others carried a lot of both. The last day was the best part of the Theme “We Share Because We Care”, as the 52 children along with their teachers were invited to IIPM Campus Delhi. Prof. Rohit Manchanda (Dean-center for HRD, IIPM) was the guest of Honor for the day. Students had fun with these kids by playing dog and the bone and by making the children participate in the dance session. Then later these kids were motivated to sing poems that they have learnt. These little children were also served grilled sandwiches by Salad Chef. In return, the kids showered their love upon us by gifting their hand colored greeting cards. Finally, we bid farewell to them by wishing them good luck and handing over all the gifts that were solely purchased for them. We hope that this event was as memorable for them as it was for all of us. For more pictures CLICK HERE
