Sri Aurobindo Institute of Management and Science (SAIM&S) recently marked the Induction Program for the freshers in batches of BBA, B. Com, and BBA-HA on the 7th of Sept 2024. This special event was effectively and strategically planned to present the freshers as well as their families with a vivid picture of the swine that is in store for them at SAIM&S. Ambiance of joy, hope, and expectations was set in the day through warm receptions, ethnic, consoling, and motivational speeches as well as robust performances.
The celebrations kicked off in the morning with a welcoming breakfast for both students and their families. Daybreak sparkled the campus with activity. It was not just a meal but also a great and relaxed opportunity for families and students to meet and greet with each other. This first meeting helped break the ice and manage any nervousness that is usually felt on the first day of a new setting. The event was highly special as it symbolized a fresh start for all the students in SAIM&S.
The most pivotal segment in the Induction Program comprised the words of the wise guests and important personalities. The event was officially started by the Chairperson of Sri Aurobindo Group of Institutes (SAGI), Mrs. Chani Trivedi with a sincere and encouraging speech. She briefly described the main missions of SAIM&S and elaborated on the future that the students may have. Her address had a rallying tone to encourage the new batch of students and proceeded to remind them of the need to work hard as they progress in their academics.
Then Mrs. Trivedi spoke about the changes and advancements in the education sector and Mr. Kinshuk Trivedi, the Vice President of SAGI gave his powerful speech about the mission of SAIM&S for preparing the students for the future. Apart from this, most of the time his thoughts focused on the future and encouraged the students to take the best out of the institute.
The keynote speech given by Dr. Unmesh Mandloi who is the Principal for SAIM&S, proved to be one of the highlights of the day. Dr. Mandloi’s speech was about the excellence and the all-round development of the students of this institute. This motivated the first-year students to work hard and get the best results while availing the chances offered by SAIM&S.
After the speeches, the Induction Program demonstrated the versatility of the senior students’ talents. The entertainment segment entailed dancing that was well-choreographed and great vocal performances. The dance routines, which were displayed by the seniors, entailed lively and colorful performances making the occasion more joyous. The singers sweetened the day with their voices and singing thus brightening up the day for everyone at the event.
The Induction Program was also well planned to ensure that some activities were organized in a way that involved families. It was also a good chance for the parents to tour around the campus and have a look at the facilities that their children would be using. It also ensured that they got to know more about the environment and resources which is available in SAIM&S. Further, the meet-and-greet sessions with faculty and staff also helped the families to gain significant perceptions about the available support structures for their children, which in one way or the other developed a closer bond with the institute.
Thus, it can be concluded that the Induction Program of SAIM&S was an amazing and informative orientation program as well as enhanced the guidance for the new academic session of the BBA, B. Com, and BBA-HA Batch of 2024. In some way, the day became an ideal beginning of the academic years for the newcomers to have initial interaction through wonderful speeches, enthusiastic performances, and all-inclusive activities. When they step into this new chapter, they are filled with joy and understanding of what they are likely to encounter ahead. Congratulations to all the new students and may they have a fruitful and productive experience.
