MATS Institute of Management and

Entrepreneurship (MIME) sincerely strives to

enhance the confidence of each student by

imparting relevant knowledge and skills. The

relevance of the knowledge and skills is decided

by the contemporary requirements of the

industry. In addition, the institute promotes the

expression of creativity among its students

directed towards increasing the social

sensitivity index. I am happy to note that all

these aspects have found their expression in the

active participation at various national level

competitions and bringing the laurels to MIME.

Further, the successful organization of MIME

MIME has a very vibrant CSR Club which conducts various activities for the welfare of the

society. The club joined EcoWatch and Indian Railways for organizing eco awareness

campaign and cleanliness drive at Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna Railway Station (City

Railway Station) on January 31, 2018.

Freedom and Cleanliness were the two cherished goals of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation.

Out of these two goals, the “Freedom” was achieved on August 15, 1947 but still the other goal of

“Cleanliness” remained unfulfilled. Against this context, “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” was conceived

and was started as a mass movement by the Government of India on October 2, 2014 to sensitize people

about maintaining cleanliness not only in their residences but also in the surroundings. One of the

specific objectives of the initiative is to eradicate open defecation by October 2, 2019, the 150th

anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi.

The main objective of the campaign was

to create awareness among the general

passengers, railway employees and other

stake-holders of the railway station about

waste management , maintaining

cleanliness and hygiene. The students

along with the staff of Indian Railways

took out a procession all across the railway station, including the platforms and surrounding areas

outside the station to create awareness on eco-system by chanting slogans of “Clean India, Our India”,

“Go Green, Get Clean”, and “Namma Bharata Swachh Bharata”. After the procession, students

actively participated in cleaning the platform, tracks inside the railway station and the area outside the

railway station.

Dr. Jitendra Kumar Mishra, Director - MIME, Dr. S Manikandan and Ms. Anuradha MIME CSR Club

Coordinators, Mr. Akshay Heblikar, Director-EcoWatch, Mr. Ullaas Kumar and Mr. Sujeet Kumar,

Team Coordinators - EcoWatch, Mr. Santosh Hedge, Director - South Western Railway, Mr. Syed

government is focusing and deliberated on the issues of employment generation, farm crisis,

health and education sector, infrastructure development, ease of doing business,

entrepreneurship, skill development and start-ups in respect of budgetary allocations.

Further, the panelists deliberated upon the changes that have taken place in the past three years.

10 crore families. They even deliberated that the senior citizens have been sought for additional

investment avenues. The panelists expressed that GST was a major differentiator. Further, the
