SJIM Rural Immersion: Caring for the Common Good

At SJIM, we strongly believe in the integral formation of our PGDM students by helping them become men and women of substance.

“A person of substance is someone who strives to live a life that means something and who chooses to participate rather than be a spectator in life in order to be part of the solution as opposed to the problem”

SJIM desires students graduating from SJIM to be aware of the prevailing socioeconomic conditions in the country.

The Rural Immersion Program and other events like blood donation camps, collecting donations from the public to help people affected by natural disasters through marathons, walkathons are small steps in that direction. Students also need to be sensitized to the plight of the weaker sections of society and become responsible citizens. To give a greater thrust to this mission, SJIM organizes a Rural Immersion Programme. The objective of this is to not only expose our students to the rural community, but also to make them aware of a society that lives beyond our familiar urban setting and to help them understand how sound business principles can be used to better the lives of those in rural India. Participation in the Rural Immersion Program is compulsory for every student and is a non-credit activity.
