Students (ITM)
40 students of ITM Entrepreneurship Cell.
Students (EM Normandy)
36 students taking the course on Entrepreneurship.
Modus Operandi of the project :
The 40 students of ITM are divided into 10 groups of 4 each. Each group has a corresponding
group in France. The email ids of the students have been send to EM Normandy project guides. The
French students will contact ITM students directly as and when the project need requires. Faculty's
role is to ensure smooth operation of the project by coordinating with the ITM students.
Project given :
The project given is to find the potential market for exporting Cider in India. The students act as
consultants for the company which would like to to set up operations or outsource or sell Cider in
India.
The Indian students provided information on the macro environment factors in India, namely the
Political, Social, Technological, Economic Legal, Ethical environment factors, Data on Alcohol
industry , Competitors, substitutes products, Consumer Behavior of Indians, identified the core
competency of the company and also did a feasibility study of the project.
The correspondence was mainly through mails and occasionally through skype.
Learnings:
The students learned how to evaluate a business opportunity in terms of Macro and Micro
environment factors (with respect to alcoholic beverages and Cider) , identifying the differentiating
factors, understanding the consumer's perception regarding alcohol and related beverages and
feasibility analysis of the venture.
Apart from this they also learned about the French Culture by interacting with the French students
3. Moodle:
ITM makes use of Moodle for conducting courses through on-line.
LMS – Learning Management Solutions - Moodle was built around an idea of learning that
happens when a group of people constructs things for one another, creating, collaboratively,
a small culture of shared artefacts with shared meanings. Moodle makes available resources
(web pages, books, files, link, and so on) and activities (forums, assignments, quizzes,
lessons, databases, glossaries, and so on 0 to support teaching and learning.
Manual testing and evaluation consists of a large amount of paperwork, for which space
becomes a problem. On top of that question paper and answer sheet filing consumes a lot of
time. Manual testing and evaluation system is ineffective when it comes to filtering the right
chunk of information from the mass of paperwork. The manual system makes result processing
slow and is a waste of time for the qualified and expensive faculty. This technology works on
the idea of providing a comprehensive computerised system, which can not only receive and
retain inputs, but also can analyse them. Online testing and evaluation gives students flexibility
of date, time and location for objective-type examinations.
VI. Social Initiative aimed at empowering artisans and village entrepreneurs was started as a
completely student driven activity. This activity aims at sensitizing students to the social, financial
needs of the small entrepreneurs and help in financial inclusion and spread literacy and motivating
entrepreneurship.
VII. Global immersions – A 3 week student exchange program to Mastritch School of Management
was finalized with the objective of providing students with global exposure and cross cultural
learning, understanding on how to business in Europe etc.
B. Co-Curricular activities and Extra -Curricular activities:
In addition to curricular activities, ITM gives very high importance to co-curricular and extra-
curricular activities which help students to develop their overall personality and undergo the
rigour of corporate life while studying with ITM. Extra curricular activities refer to those
activities which help student build their personality through some activities which do not come
under the realm of curricular and co-curricular activities.
Utkarsh (Unleashing the Knowledge and Reaching to Starry Heights) bring about all round
development of students personality. The Primary objective of Utkarsh Committees is to help
students think, plan and manage various curricular, extra curricular and co-curricular activities
of ITM.
There are various Committees constituted under the aegis of Utkarsh. These committees are
Academic Committee, External competition and event Committee, Public Relations and brand
management Committee,Placement Committee, Cultural even Committee, Industry Visit
committee, Alumni Committee, Public Relations and brand management, Guest Lecture,
Teaching Management Through Movies, IT, Publication, Sports, Code of Conduct,
Infrastructure maintenance and improvement, Health hygiene and environment Committee.
These committees are essentially students driven and students managed committees. The
student members of a committee are required to come out with some innovative ideas and
implement those in to some projects.
STUDY FORUMS
Study forums have been formed with a view to engage the students and the faculty members in
a particular functional area to plan and organize various curricular and co- curricular activities

corridors of the corporate world, which enriches the theoretical knowledge and widens the

forum is a platform for students to interface with the industry and also provide them an
opportunity to ideate and work on their creative mind. This helps the students to learn about
various concepts and look for application of the same in specific situations. The activities of the
forum encourage students to read various resource materials beyond text books and thereby

spiritual quotient of the student.
The NGO project and students compulsory participation in some activities such as lectures by spiritual gurus, participation in UTKARSH (Unleashing the knowledge and reaching to
starry heights) committees work and other important lectures and conferences constitute the credit course known as DRCC (Developing Responsible Corporate Citizen).

type questions, subjective type questions and etc which can be assessed automatically. The
students will be able to see the marks on the spot and the lectures by the teachers are
accessible to all registered users over the Net. The second method is asynchronous, where
notion of virtual class room lectures is not included. The web is used as the medium for
communication, collaboration, content hosting, and assessments. Teachers can post study
material- files, web links, notes, articles, videos, etc. - for any time, anywhere access by the
students. Any announcements and on-line calendar made through Moodle.

subject chosen to study. The Institution strives towards overall development of students
and quality enhancement of learners through various aspects of holistic personality
development, orientation programs and life skill enrichment programs conducted during
their four years of academics that focuses on managerial skills, communication skills,
leadership qualities, analytical skills, etiquettes, group discussion, global warming,
awareness on environment through guest lecture, moral and ethical values, role and scope
of women in hospitality and tourism industry.

the College Advisory Committee and faculty members. The Principal makes sure
that the curriculum framed by the University is supplemented in such a way
that it reflects the ―mission and vision‖ of the Institution.

enrichment programmes, are monitored and evaluated by the IQAC and necessary
remedial measures are incorporated in the future.

Economics, Accounting and OB (Organizational Behaviour). Looking at the curricula of the
Management programs, it is evident that in the first year all the courses are compulsory and inter-
disciplinary. Whereas the second year courses by and large are specific to a particular area of
specialization. However, in the second year also some of the integrated courses, such as
Entrepreneurship for Managers and Business Strategy involve multidisciplinary approach.
Besides Capstone Project, Summer Project and NGO Project carried out by the PGDM students also
require inter-disciplinary knowledge.

PG: MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES:
ITM's contribution to community:
Today, more than ever there is an increasing necessity for the management institutes to prepare
'socially responsible managers/ leaders' as a part of their course curriculum. At ITM this
commitment was embraced in its nascent years and has since grown in leaps and bounds. Right
from its inception years, ITM has made consistent efforts towards social upliftment by maintaining
an active Social Initiatives portfolio. The credit for embracing the value of interrelated social
concerns goes to the visionary leadership of our founder Chairman Mr. P.V. Ramanna.
Ever since the setting up of our Centre of Social Initiatives in 2002, ITM has continuously evolved
interventions perceived as a new & fresh experience that progressively adds on to our understanding
of how best to structure a mechanism so as to cater to the evolving needs and concerns of society.
Through the year, ITM had build partnerships with development organizations for a variety of
programs in the social sphere. The following pages will illustrate some of the projects supported by
ITM-Centre for Social Initiatives.
The primary objective of ITM-CSI is to facilitate a forum wherein the best practices concerning
inclusive development, exchange of appropriate technologies, databases, documentaries, success
stories and best practices related to tackling social issues by business stakeholders are upheld and
disseminated to corporate CSR, NGO's and other target beneficiaries.
We promote initiatives for implementing voluntary programs, facilitating communications with
local communities and enhancing internal education and enlightenment programs. We have also
organized the Subcommittee under the UTKARSH initiative, which has both students and faculty as
members. This subcommittee deliberates together on the format and specific details of social
contribution plans.
Activities through ITM-Centre for Social Initiatives:
Anti malaria campaign in month of August 2010 -In view of the rising fear of malaria
especially in the Kharghar region, anti malaria campaign was organized by the CSI wing.
.The campaign was a mega success. Students went around Kharghar area and created
awareness on steps to be taken to prevent Malaria
Blood donation on 3rd
December 2010- As a part of the CSI activity, blood donation
campaign was organized in co-ordination with the health science dept. The Donated Blood
was transferred to NMMC and Actrc. The students voluntarily came forward in donating
blood for the noble cause. The event basically aimed at creating awareness about
Thalesimia, a dreadful genetic disorder, partnered by THINK foundation.
Cloth collection: students collected old good cloth from the Kharghar and from our own
students and were distributed to poor students in Zilla parishd School in Kharghar.
Shradha - Shradha the NGO produces several articles which were sold by members of the
committee. Shradha works for austistic adults.

Skill building programme with Prerana
The girls aged between 18 and 22 years, after being rescued, have been looked after by
Prerana, the NGO started by Mr. Pravin Patkar & Mrs.Preeti Patkar. This NGO is dedicated
solely to help sex workers and children of sex workers reinvent their lives. ITM in
collaboration with Prerana NGO initiated a short-term course in Hospitality Operation for
the rehabilitated girls to provide 4 1/2 months program with all expenses borne by ITM.
The course offered by ITM IHM involves Cookery, Bakery, Restaurant Service,
Housekeeping, Communication and Personality development and IT skills it is completely
hands on and the training given helps them with their interpersonal skills and all round
development and finally finds employment.
Some of the girls who have completed the course are employed by IHM. While they are
studying, the girls can stay in the shelter house in Kharghar but once they find a job, they
move out into what is known as a „group home‟.
For the girls, the 4 months spent in ITM IHM are the best months of their life – They exult
in the fact that they now have skills, which will make them financially independent. They
are now able to view the world differently, forget the past and look forward to the future
with hope.
ITM takes initiative to organize training for two batches every year, where each batch
consists of 25 to 30 girls. In the past three years, six batches have trained in ITM . It is a
pride for ITM to have more than 150 girls graduating from the Institute with confidence and
self esteem.

departments. Below mentioned are the ex-Prerana trainees who have performed very well

provide voluntary support to strengthen the ongoing interventions
Premdan- ITM reaches out to Premdaan (kharghar) by sending the excess food cooked in the
Quantity Training Kitchen. This excess occurs due to student absenteeism. ITM also hosts a
one day Fun and Frolic New Year Party. All the faculty members of ITM IHM, students and
staff go out of their way to make this a joyous occasion to the girls of Premdaan. They
return home with arm loads of goodies and precious gifts which are functional and useful in
their daily use. This according to the inmates of Premdaan is a day they look forward to all
year round. The members of staff are also reach out by donating clothes, food and stationary
items, which the girls may require.
MHM orphanage- We are extending our support to the girls through joint celebration of
festivities (recently Diwali celebrations), sharing of gifts, preparing a website
Rotary Club Navi Mumbai Sunrise and Millenium City, Vashi- the two clubs are partners in
supporting our live project viz Project Abhivyakti. They also support us in organizing events
such as Senior Citizens Day, Blood Donation camp etc.
Dr. P. N. Singh Foundation – our collaboration was set up with the organisation way back in
1999. ITM supports the terminal education for children at the foundation. Throughout our
association we have supported 15 students. We have also organised joint events exchanging
throughts and ideas. The annual leadership summit is the biggest gathering involving leaders
from all walks of life.
Think Foundation- The organization has extended support in conducting blood donation
camps and detecting thalassemia minor amongst the students (conducts blood tests). The
sample tested positive are further called upon for counselling session. It has resulted in
reducing the risk for child birth with thalassemia major.
ACTREC- Blood donation camp is organized for cancer patients in partnership with the
TATA Memorial Hospital dedicated centre on cancer research.
Our collaboration with the above mentioned has also been translated into NGO internships
where in our students pursue live projects at selected locations.
Contribution to NGO development: ITM contributes towards NGO development in a
focused manner through one month internship programme. During this internship our
students promote management related aspects, facilitate and strengthen the relationship of
organizations with local corporates and communities. Many students undertake activities to
increase the web presence of the initiatives of the organizations. Presently nearly 47 NGOs
are engaged with ITM across India for such an internship.

39. Best practices of the institution:
PG: MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES:
When we say sharing best practices we mean that people from industry will tell students the
best way of doing things be it finance, marketing or operations. This can cover things like
making proposals, production planning or fixing a meeting with the client.
Teaching Industry Dynamics
Every industry has a unique way of doing business. They take decisions keeping in mind
their position and macro environmental factors. A student should be made aware of what are
the day to day process or care that should be taken while taking decision or finalizing any
task. This will be that particular industry specific.
Cooperate Workshops
Workshops are nothing but some sort of test or exercise designed for students to learn
working of that industry and develop his or her learning abilities or managerial skills. It is
done in collaboration with HR of that industry
Hands on Experience
Students can be told to read a specific area related to that industry and come for industry
visit. During their visit they can be part of live meetings, discussions and planning processes
for the desired task. Giving them a hands on experience of level of experience or knowledge
required for any task to be done.
Facility Tour
Facility layout has more connection with students opting for operations. However it can
interest students from marketing and finance as they will get to know the scale of production
and various admin related expenditures related to company. They can use data related to
factory requirements, processing and pros and cons to recommend necessary expansion
plans for the company. It can be a long term plan.
Guest Lecture
Guest lecture are quite common and known to everyone. Best advantage of having guest
lecturer in industry is live application of what is taught can be explained with live processes
happening.
Doubts Clearing Session
Not every student is at same intellectual level. There are chances that some
students can have doubts related to sector in which a company falls, career
related doubts, management doubts and lot more. A doubt clearing session needs
to be organized in which both industry people will question students and vise
versa.
