Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur extends resources to rural learners

On December 14th, Parivartan, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) club of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur, in association with Gram Panchayat of Vidhani, organized an Education and Employment Consulting Workshop for students studying in standard VIII and above. This free workshop was held at the Government Secondary School Vimalpura, village Vidhani, and it’s aimed to educate students in rural areas about employment opportunities and making the right choices when it comes to a career path.


The one-day workshop was inaugurated by Dr. Prabhat Pankaj, Director, Jaipuria Jaipur and coordinated by Dr. S. K. Pandey, Dr. Shubha Johri, Dr. Vikas Indoria, Mr. A. K. Tiwari, and Mr. Prakash Sharma. The CSR club student members were in full attendance, participating with their usual interest and enthusiasm. And, they were instrumental in the coordination of the workshop and its activities.


The event began with Jaipuria students extending a warm and traditional welcome to the school children, Pradhan, Gram Panchayat and other family members from the village. They were then told about the aim and vision of the workshop, which was, in the end, a resounding success. Rohit, a student member shared his thoughts: “It was an interesting experience that helped me understand the optimization of resources. We got along famously with the children and the interactions were wholesome and fruitful. The children expressed an overwhelmingly positive response to this initiative.”


Talking about the initiative, Bharti said, “I clearly understood the concepts of identifying gaps and finding solutions through this CSR initiative. Jaipuria Institute of Management is providing free education to children in the village who have great talent but lack awareness due to their low levels of communication skillsand limited access to technology.” Looking at the potential of students, the Institute hasplanned a full course on computer efficiency and communication. The classes will commence soon, with the students of the Jaipuria family having the opportunity to travel to the villages and educate the students about the emerging fields of study and career opportunities.

Jaipuria Internship

Vishnu says, “Jaipuria is equipping me with the competitive edge I need today”

Vishnu Bajania explains what influenced his decision to attend Jaipuria Institute of Management: “In today’s competitive world, technology is developing faster than ever and the demand for skilled and powerful managers is more than the B-schools are able to create. In such a scenario, I chose Jaipuria for my post graduation in management because I was sure it would equip me with the competitive edge I need to succeed today.” It looks like Vishnu made the right decision. He was selected by “bookmyshow” as an accreditation associate for his Summer Internship Project. The institute recognizes the modern pressures and rising competition and has been successfully placing students in diverse industries and roles, enabling them to be industry ready when they step out.

Vishnu has joined “bookmyshow” at a handsome stipend. His basic responsibility is to make accreditations cards for the vendors and staff members who will be there on the day of the IPL match. He shares, “It is a position that requires a lot of hard work. There are hundreds of vendors and staff members from different companies like Pepsi, ITC, IMG, Set max, DDCA etc.” The associates have other responsibilities, too; therefore, they need to have strong multitasking skills. They sort out queries, keep track of the forms, handle the data, attend workshops, and print cards.

The selection process was not easy, and Vishnu believes that Jaipuria gave him the right training that he needed in order to grab this opportunity. He has evolved as a professional in the past year, which has also helped: “I think that my sincerity during the time of interview, my communication skills, confidence and creativity in my resume enabled me to stand out in the interview. We have been trained to stay very organized at Jaipuria, right from day one.” Jaipuria puts a strong emphasis on the holistic development of its students. To ensure a sterling performance during the course and eventually a student’s lifetime, the institute has a robust mentoring process in place. Vishnu has been working with his mentor, Prof. Sonali Singh, Assistant Professor, Jaipuria who has helped him with communication skills, group discussion ability, interpersonal skills and interview skills. He is also helping him design and write his SIP report.

Accountability is one lesson Vishnu has learned in the first few days of his SIP. He believes this is his most important learning so far. And, of course, a happy and ambitious Vishnu is looking forward to his first stipend as well: “I believe in hard work and with this hard earned money, I first want to party!”

Jaipuria Internship

“I want to leverage my SIP to learn real life skills”, shares Arpan Ojha, Class of 2015, currently interning with Grasim Industries Ltd.

Arpan Ojha of the 2015 batch has just finished his first year of the course and has been selected for an SIP by Grasim Industries Limited. Arpan is delighted with the opportunity and says, “Grasim is a great chance for me. My selection was based on a personal interview and I feel my work experience of 15 months held me in good stead there”.

Jaipuria Institute of Management assigns mentors to all students in order to ensure that they don’t stagger in front of their SIP challenges. Arpan intends to leverage this help to optimize the work opportunity: “Having a mentor is going to be extremely helpful at this juncture. I am looking forward to seeking her guidance to prepare reports and also to create precise questionnaires for data collection”. Arpan’s focus on the course and SIP comes from the realization that to grow in the industry a professional MBA degree is an imperative. Not only it adds to a student’s profile but also creates the necessary understanding of the industry. He also needed to get a clear knowledge of the sector: “I wanted to understand the inner intricacies and trends of the FMCG sector and, hence, decided to pursue a PGDM”.

Arpan has joined Grasim as an intern and his first assignment will be to identify the challenges and threats in the market for Prim Kitchen Wet Wipes. He will be visiting the shops and dealers of the product to create this report. He will also take on Sales and spend a lot of his time as an intern in the field along with the sales personnel of the organization. He is excited and expects to learn a lot from this SIP: “I am going to try and make the most of this SIP to learn real life skills that will help me perform in my chosen field. The key learning I am looking forward to is learning how to deal with dealers and shopkeepers, how to penetrate into a market with a new product, how to make consumers aware of a product, and, if a competitor is selling the same product at a lower price, how to push the customer to purchase ours instead. I have always wanted to get a hands-on experience to learn all this and more”.

Born and raised in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, Arpan believes the SIP will bring him closer to his dreams – professional as well as monetary. He believes that his hard work and commitment will get him a pre-placement offer of 3-6 lakhs per annum. Arpan is convinced this SIP will open the doors to a magnificent professional life.
