Today is 19th August, 2013 and the world is
celebrating World Humanitarian Day, a day to salute the love for humanity.
Today each and every peace loving organization will stop to think, reflect and
pay tribute to those great people who have sacrificed their lives for the well
being of the others.
It was a minor effort from SRC-Social Responsibility Cell
of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar in association with the
Institute of Social work & Research, to organize an event to show their way
of thanks giving to the community.
The program started with the visit of few children from a
nearby school. The students were very special. There were laughing, talking and
chatting merrily but little after all came to know that God has not gifted them
the power to see the light of the day, yes they are visually impaired.
They participated in Reading and Writing competition.
They participated in Quiz competition and enjoyed thoroughly. Their passion was
one of the best things to look for.
The inauguration ceremony started with the lighting of
the candles followed by the speech of our Dean Academics, Mr.Biswa Swarup Mishra
who rightly said that managers not only need to be pragmatic but also need to
be compassionate.
The
event was graced by the presence of Dean-Student Affairs, Dean
Administration-Fr.Augustine and other faculty members followed by a motivating
and passionate speech from the Guest of Honor - Sanyas Kumar Behera, General
Secretary Institute of social work and Research. Mr.Sanyas Kumar Behera is also
visually challenged but spoke like one of the true leaders and his speech was
enough to raise the spirit of the fellow XIMB-ians. We also had among us Chief
Guest – Mr. R.K.Sharma and other eminent personalities like Mr.Jaffer Iqbal,
former international cricket player.
This
was followed by a small cultural program where two of our fellow brothers
Sanjay Kumar Sahoo and Raj Kishore put up a wonderful performance by singing
and playing Tabla respectively. They may be challenged in some other ways but
not in their ways of expressing feelings.
This
followed by a speech from R.K.Sharma, Assistant
Director Vocational Rehabilitation Centre for Handicap was who thanked XIMB and
the Institute of Social work & Research for inclusion program. His
speech was full of energy and subtleness. His request was straightforward to
the future managers of XIMB…..”Please try to include and recruit differently
abled persons on your team”.
Mayank,
Dhrubo the members of the SRC joined Raj Kishore and Sushant Kumar Padhee to
put up a short cultural program on this eventful day.
Yes today XIMB showed that the managers of tomorrow may
face many difficulties but they will never forget the human touch and that’s
where XIMB scores more than others.
The event ended with the prize distributions and the vote
of thanks
