Proud to be called the oldest club of IFMR GSB, started in 2005, Samarthan aims to work towards a common goal: service to society. Our vision is to instill a sense of social responsibility towards the development and improvement of society for sustainable and inclusive development. Samarthan provides a platform for the fraternity to provide their share of humanity back to society, which goes beyond textbooks and corporate worlds, thus making the world a better place. It has been subsequently taken forward with the help of enthusiastic faculty and students at IFMR GSB. The bond between Samarthan and the students has strengthened over the years, and the efforts have been appreciated and acknowledged. Students of IFMR GSB are the flesh and blood of Samarthan. It strives to provide an interface between students, voluntary organizations, and society, ultimately breeding a sustainable and healthy society. IFMR, through Samarthan, conducts Bal Vikas, a yearlong ongoing skill development program for children in a nearby village where the students of IFMR GSB teach the kids. Being an institution that has achieved accolades for its expertise in finance, we also consider it essential to impart basic financial wisdom to the elder children who are present. The committee organises events throughout the year, one of them being its flagship event, Lakshmi Bal Mahotsav, which hosts orphan kids on campus and makes their day special and worth remembering. Other events include the Blood Donation Drive, Kumari Bhoj, fulfilling children’s Christmas wishes through the Wish Tree event, and Workers Day, an event of gratitude to honor the workers on campus who work every day to make the in-campus residents’ lives better and more comfortable.
