Anand B Mishra_BLP027_learning review 19 July 11

We started our day with Financial Management headed by Prof Neetika Batra, learnt about present value, future value, PVIF, FVIF. We solved numerical based on above and annuity.

After the lunch break, we had session for social innovation project, this was headed by Kanupriya, Ipsita and Parul, today the participating NGO were Care India, Khoj Foundation, Sulabh International, Gene Campaign. It was interesting to know that there are so many NGOs working for women empowerment and children education, but its so unfortunate, most of the Indian are still living below poverty line and literacy rate is not upto the mark.After having the conversations with NGO partners, most of us are in dilemma in opting an NGO, because all are doing well and sounds interesting to work for, since SIP is graded program so we can not opt more than one. But the fact is, most of us have been sensitize enough to give back to the society in some way. i hope this will remain in our soul and will surely put in all our efforts to make it a success.

Finally, we heard inspiration story of Mr Anshu Gupta, a social entrepreneur, who is the founder of "Goonj", he has done tremendous job to help poors, he took initiative and started collecting discarded clothes from society, got them altered and distributed among poor people, he also helped tsunami victims in year 2006. Apart from this, Mr Gupta made people aware how they can help themselves to become independent.
