At Bengaluru campus, 15-weeks Certification Programme on „Equity Research and Corporate Valuation‟ has been launched in association with Amba Research At Hyderabad campus, 2-years full-time Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) has been introduced. 3. Innovations in curricular design and transaction : The School of Business Management brought about following two innovations in pedagogy: 1. Internet Marketing: The course was offered in the second year of the full time core MBA program, a key learning objective was, “At the end of this course, the students will be able to design and execute internet marketing campaigns”. One of the ways this learning objective was addressed was through an experiential activity. In this activity, the students in this course designed and executed internet marketing campaigns for a college event. The students picked an existing college event or launched a new student activity, and promoted the same through various internet marketing channels. Students executed a 360 degree design, focusing not only on 3 designing creative and appealing campaigns, but also measuring their effectiveness in terms of participation, recall, viral activity, and content contribution. Most of the campaigns in this activity became very popular on the campus, and hardly anyone (outside the class) knew that these were being done for classroom purpose. These activities not only imparted learning through practical experience, but also became highly engaging, interactive and interesting for the students. For some of the campaigns the student teams have continued to work even after 4 months of the completion of the course; for example, Shutterbugs, and Arcadia. 2. Business at the Bottom of the Pyramid was a new course offered in the second year of the full time core MBA program. A key learning objectives in this course was, “At the end of this course, the students will understand the behavior of customer at the bottom of the urban pyramid”. One of the ways this learning objective was addressed was through a category research activity. For this activity, the students carried out primary research in a Mumbai slum of their choice in assigned product categories. The students captured their interactions with the people in videos. For most students, this was their first visit to a slum area; as a result there was lot of apprehension. However, after this activity students were really ecstatic about their findings. They were amazed by the Brand awareness and the earnings in slum areas. They posted their videos on Facebook, and felt confident about understanding the customer behavior at the bottom of the urban pyramid much better than what is covered in books or business cases. Another key learning objective in the Business at the Bottom of the Pyramid course was, “At the end of this course, the students will be able to develop marketing strategies for serving bottom of the pyramid customers”. One of the ways this learning objective was addressed was through an experiential activity in which the student were asked to pool money within their teams, buy a set of products and sell the same in the Ambarnath Shivratri fair, which was held on Feb 20th, 2012. As part of this activity, the students carried out a market research to understand the demographics in the fair, and designed an experiential marketing campaign for interacting with the customers. In MPSTME, new subject of “Information Security Assurance and Computer Forensics” has been introduced in B.Tech. (IT) Trimester XII, as an elective subject. Robotics Lab has also been commissioned. In School of Distance Learning, the lectures are delivered through Elluminate Live! The faculties delivered the lectures through virtual classrooms. Also along with the study material prepared by NMIMS faculty, the students are provided with the Audio CDs which are summarized course presentations. In School of Science, Hands on training workshops were conducted for students of Biological Sciences (Animal Cell Culture Training) and Statistics (SAS Workshop) to ensure students gain relevant experience on the subject. In BSSA, in the latter half of the final year of the course, students are trained as interns in professional practices recommended by the Institute. This period helps them to comprehend the needs of practice in the future. Apart from mainstream 4 Architecture practice, the students are imparted with many other skill sets which could help them pursue other related fields including art, photography, history, graphic design, animation, etc. Various electives are included as a part of the coursework wherein photographers, graphic designers, artists, historians are invited to conduct a formal programme that the students can opt for. In SAMSOE, an innovative practice has been introduced wherein 5% of the lectures in each core course are conducted by industry experts. The School had, under the scheme, eminent people from industry to teach, Senior Economist CRISIL, Senior Executive from RBI, and from BCG, who covered various aspects of the course in their respective areas. At Bengaluru campus, keeping in view the demand for professionals in Latin American countries, Spanish language was offered as a course to PGDM and EPGDBM students. 4. Inter-disciplinary programmes started : In SPPSPTM, the following Post-Graduate Programmes were introduced : M.Pharm. Pharmaceutics + MBA (3 years integrated program) M.Pharm. Quality Assurance + MBA (3 years integrated program) M.Pharm. Pharm. Analysis + MBA (3 years integrated program) In School of Commerce, Capstone project to Third Year B.Com. (Hons.) 5. Examination reforms implemented : The examination work has been decentralized. In order to conduct the Internal Continuous Evaluation, the successful examination personnel have been posted in all the schools who will in turn report to the Central Examination Unit. 6. Candidates qualified : NET/SLET/GATE etc. As School of Business Management is the only School which has a graduating batch and almost all the students were interested in taking up the job in the industry or corporates, no student applied for NET/SLET/GATE etc. In School of Science, one student has been awarded the Inspire Fellowship by DST and one student each has cleared CSIR-NET exam, ICMR exam and UGC-CSIR (JRF) exam. 7. Initiative towards faculty development programme : During the last year, two faculty members have attended the 3-week long Colloquium for Participant Centered Learning Programme at Harvard Business School, Boston, USA.

Community services : SBM SRF – The Social Responsibility Forum cell at SBM, NMIMS The academic year 2011-12 has been very eventful for SRF. It had a lot of events organized under its umbrella and went a step further in doing its bit for society. With the idea of helping NGOs showcase and sell their products, the Social Responsibility Forum (SRF) organized “Mela – the Carnival” on 10th August, 2011. To scale up the sale of products, a competition between eight teams was organized. Each team had to help the NGOs to sell their products to prospective customers. Udaan - A 3 day intra-school competition from 18th October, 2011 to 20th October, 2011, was organized to engage the students and motivate them to introspect into areas of social concern in a fun filled and interactive way. The event comprised three rounds which were, Online Quiz, Audio-visual round and Pictionary. The „Basics in Wildlife and Nature Photography‟ workshop that was organized on 18th October, 2011, witnessed an enthralling response from the students of NMIMS, engaging over 60 participants. It was organised in association with GreenKarbon, a Sanctuary-Deutsche Bank climate change initiative. Dr. Anish Andheria, (Director, Wildlife Conservation Trust and Director, Sanctuary Asia) known for his brilliance in photography and for introducing young people to the joys of capturing nature with a click, was the speaker of the day. He took the students on a walk of nature from behind the lens and taught them the various techniques of making the picture perfect. A national level social B-Plan competition, Annveshan was scheduled. Designed in association with SEED, the objective was to use the benefits of SEED‟s product to 22 help sustain/support existing farmers‟ irrigation needs and leverage its features to benefit them throughout the year irrespective of application or industry. The event was launched formally through the Students‟ Council at a national level. We received an overwhelming response from students of various B Schools of India and, the top 5 students were invited to come and present at NMIMS Campus. In an endeavor to provide one of the greatest community services, that of saving lives, the Social Responsibility Forum (SRF) of NMIMS successfully organized a Blood Donation Drive with the free Thalassemia check-up. The drive was conducted in association with the Lions Club of Juhu. Sponsors like MBASkool and Café Chokolade joined hands with SRF to give momentum to this noble initiative. The drive was well supported by Think Foundation, which coordinated with various Blood Banks to ensure a smooth process. In all, 309 people registered for the blood donation and 279 bottles of blood were collected. Manjunath Candle Light Vigil was organized in the premises of SBM, NMIMS to pay homage to Manjunath Shanmugam on his sixth death anniversary. This event was organized to activate the student community of NMIMS, awaken their consciousness, and to take a pledge – “Honor Integrity! Fight Corruption! Around 100 students participated in the vigil. The programme was an effort to make the students aware of the perils of corruption and to inspire them to come together and fight for a worthy cause. Effective integration is of prime importance of the sustainability perspective in business education for developing socially responsible future business managers. It is in this context, Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in partnership with NMIMS designed a Pan India level „Digital Poster Presentation‟ Competition. The competition was based on students‟ analysis of the sustainability practices adopted by the company, based on the review of literature available in the public domain and their subsequent interpretation of the same to be presented in a creative image form on a poster. The Students had to select a company from the following list of sectors Engineering, FMCG, Retail, Pharmaceuticals, Automotive, Extractive Industries (Cement, Oil and Gas, Aluminium, Copper, Mining). Each participating team was required to submit a 500-word write-up along with a creative poster describing how the leading company selected by them has successfully adopted the sustainability agenda. The competition received an overwhelming response from management students from various premier B schools, including IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIT Bombay, NITIE, NMIMS, IIFT, JBIMS, IMT Ghaziabad, Great Lakes and others. Though all the posters reflected the students‟ perception about the company‟s sustainability practices, twelve posters were selected for publication in the BCCI Calendar for the year 2012. The Leaders of Tomorrow initiative was kicked off this year at the Gokalibai High School. The basic objective of this initiative is to help the young impressionable minds to develop their personalities to make them aware of the different opportunities that lie ahead of them, and to instill in them the confidence to believe that they have it in them to be the Leaders of Tomorrow. The We Care Winter Internship programme has been organized with the aim of sensitizing students towards social issues and provides them with an opportunity to 23 apply Managerial tools relevant to community engagement. It was a unique, studentcentered initiative, which aspires to activate the social sensitivity of the students and develop appropriate social perspectives. As a part of the We Care process, 480 students were placed across 167 organizations working in diverse domains such as Branding, Business Development, Children Education, Community Development, Disaster Management, Empowerment, Event Management, Financial Management and Resource Mobilization, health, HR, Marketing Strategy, Microfinance, Operational Optimization, Project Monitoring, Right based, Social Media, Social Research and Case Analysis. To help students to make the best use of the opportunity provided to them, Center for Sustainability Management & Social Entrepreneurship and Social Responsibility Forum organized the following workshops as a part of orientation for We Care Civic Engagement Project: “Open Dialogue Session on Microfinance by Mr. Ankit Shah, KPMG (Dubai). Workshop on “Learning opportunities in Child Care Organizations” by Mr. Ujjwal Banerjee, Lead India Finalist (2007). “Working with Differently Abled” by Ms Simi Viz, Former Director, Spastic Society of India.

The We Care Internship Period was organized. The students were expected to work full time on live projects in the NGOs allotted to them. Feedback was taken from the NGO mentors, Faculty mentors and the students about the status of their work. SRF celebrated its annual flagship festival Sadbhavna 2012.

SRF, the core cell of NMIMS, this year forayed into SRF Consultancy Projects. These projects offered students an opportunity to implement plans in the arenas of Finance, Marketing, Consulting and Operations on a wider scale. Students gained exposure in managerial tasks and decision making. Following were the initiatives of SRF Consultancy Projects: I-Post: I-Post is an initiative of I-Initiate an organization by Mr. Raj Jaganam. His other ventures include the famed Cycle Chalao Andolan which had nomination at Mahindra‟s “Spark the rise”. I-Post offered students at NMIMS an opportunity to do the brand building exercise for I-Post products. It offered students an opportunity to proceed ahead with establishing new marketing channels and strategize sales and promotion. The challenge was to create a sustainable marketing model for products and services made by NGO‟s which can compete with other commercial counterparts. Consumer Guidance Society of India (CGSI): CGSI as a non-profit organization, needs funding for its various programmes like milk testing, annual magazine keemat and consumer education programme. Currently there is no sustainable funding model in place and CGSI lacks funds to execute the various events that it has planned. One Project was to develop a strategy for fund raising and Events. The task was to help them create funding model using various options available. CGSI also wanted our views about corporate sponsorship. Students were also required to relook at the goals of the organization and recommend suitable ways so that these goals can be achieved in the optimum way. Students also had to conduct a survey to provide consumers a forum to vent grievances against products/services which fall short on delivery after making grand promises and provide valuable consumer insights to industry / service providers. This in turn, can help them focus on improving on the areas of concern, from the consumers' perspective. Mumbai Votes: Mumbaivotes.com is a not for profit, independent info-bank and does not support or endorse any political candidate or party. The portal is the outreach arm of the Informed Voter Project - a registered non-profit institution with the Charity Commissioner‟s Office, Mumbai under the Bombay Public Trusts Act (1950) - Regd. No. E-27959 (Mumbai). Mumbai Votes is funded by voluntary donations from citizens of Mumbai acting in their personal capacity. The project works in two modes: Vigilance and Election. During the election modes interns were supposed to interview all the BMC candidates. These interviews were to let the people know about the work the corporator had done/ was willing to do in the future. Also they did a criminal record analysis of every candidate contesting the BMC elections. During the vigilance mode interns were supposed to analyze the performance of the corporators in terms of quality\number of questions asked by the corporator in the assembly. By comparing the manifesto of the politician's party with his/her actual performance Mumbai votes publishes an annual report card of every politician. This helps the citizens in making a well informed decision before casting their votes. 25 Toybank: Toybank is an initiative by self motivated youngsters who try to transform the lives of less fortunate children into a more meaningful and joyful existence. Toybank offered students of NMIMS a chance to explore deeper into their promotion, pitching, event management and operational skills. The two projects offered were to create awareness among students, conduct a toy collection drive and arrange events during Joy of Giving Week. The other project was for students to hone their operational skills to develop an inventory management system. Railway Children: Railway Children, a UK based development agency works with local NGOs in UK, Africa and India with an aim to bring positive, sustainable change in the lives of these children who have chosen to leave their homes and adopt and adapt to life on the streets. The project required volunteers to document the learning which Railway Children has acquired over a period by supporting different kinds of interventions through various partnerships, map the evolution of advocacy strategies and their achievements over the years, and document the same. In addition to the above, they were also be required to assist in formulating action plans for our partners, based on the recent sustainability plans which Railway Children has been facilitating partners to evolve. This action plan is aimed at providing a road map for the partners to implement the sustainability plan in a period of three years. Further, they also assisted in reviewing and finalizing performance management tools and processes of the organization, which the previous set of volunteers had evolved (Railway Children has pilot tested the tools). Swadhar Finaccess: Swadhar is a Mumbai based non-profit organization. It provides the economically disadvantaged, predominantly women living in slum communities, an increased access to financial services and helps to bridge the gap with the formal financial sector. It offered NMIMS students two projects under the domains of Finance and Marketing.
