Kashipur, March 6, 2025 – IIM Kashipur, through its social responsibility cell Parivartan, took a heartfelt
step towards shaping young futures by organizing the career counseling event, Mai Bada Hokar Kya
Banna Chahta Hu. Designed for underprivileged students from schools under Parivartan’s care, the event
aimed to guide them in discovering their career aspirations and instill confidence in their potential.
For many of these students, opportunities to explore different career paths are limited. But on this day,
they found themselves in an environment where their dreams were not just acknowledged but nurtured.
Mr. Nirmal, Co-founder of Khwaahish NGO, and Dr. Safal Batra, Associate Professor of Strategy at
IIM Kashipur, played a pivotal role in this journey. Through personal experiences and thought-provoking
discussions, they motivated the students to believe in themselves and aspire for a better future. Their
words resonated deeply, emphasizing that with the right mindset and effort, success is within reach.
To make the session interactive and engaging, students participated in a clay activity, where they shaped
their dreams into tangible forms, creatively expressing their aspirations. A short film screening further
inspired them, sharing stories of perseverance and ambition that reinforced the message of resilience and
hope.
This initiative was a reflection of Parivartan’s mission—to enable positive transformation through
education and empowerment. By providing mentorship and support, Parivartan continues to uplift young
minds, ensuring they have access to guidance that can help them navigate their future.
IIM Kashipur remains deeply committed to giving back to society, fostering inclusivity, and creating
meaningful change through its various initiatives. Through education, mentorship, and community
engagement, the institute strives to empower individuals and contribute to a brighter, more equitable
future. Mai Bada Hokar Kya Banna Chahta Hu was not just an event—it was a testament to IIM
Kashipur’s dedication to nurturing potential and making a lasting impact on society.
