World Humanitarian Day

World Humanitarian Day is a special day dedicated to recognize those who have lost their lives working for humanitarian causes. Every year, the global day is celebrated on 19^th August.  XIMB has celebrated the special day with a ‘Nukkad Natak’ performance and a complete evening dedicated to speeches by eminent people from diversified fields.

A few captivating stories were the part of the ‘Nukkad Natak’ and was organized in the campus of XIMB and outside a shopping mall in Bhubaneswar. A huge crowd has witnessed the performance by 8-10 students of XIMB and felt the essence of world humanitarian day in a different way. 

The summary of all the short stories is to spread the spirit of humanity everywhere and to help people whenever they are in need. The stories were scripted taking examples from real life. The scene of a women asking for help to the crowd around because her husband has got a heart attack and later being helped by the people was indeed a scene worth watching. The fabulous acting by the students of XIMB has astonished each spectator who witness the world humanitarian day with the splendid ‘Nukkad Natak’.

The evening of 19^th August at XIMB has witnessed great speeches by several eminent speakers from across diversified fields and having different perspective on celebration of world humanitarian day. The speeches were probably related to different perspectives of the society, although, all the speeches moved around the same concept of humanity and the requirement of people helping people around.

The level of violence has reached to a high extent in the past few years especially in India. We as the responsible citizens must try to understand the different aspects of humanity and the reason of helping people who are in real need. United Nations have probably dedicated one special day for this cause, but we should think about dedicating each second of our lives for the existence of humanity.
