    Hello sir, i am a chemical engineering graduate. After struggling for a job in this sector i stopped searching for job. During those days when i was unemployed i started reading about rural people, this thing changed my mind totally. I decided to work for rural people. I searched for some RM courses, but all of them are based on CAT scores. One day accidentally i got to know about NIRDPR, after 2 trials finally i got selected in the PGDRDM course. Now i am in a big dilemma. NIRD focuses mainly on livelihoods and poverty, and their course mentor is an IRMA alumni who is forcing students to follow IRMA's cooperative ideology. The course has become jumbled structure of old NIRD's and IRMA's course. I am not learning anything here. The mentor has messed up everything. Email me your response ( sshoaibshaikh2509@hotmail.com)

Convocation @ XIMB

On Monday, March 25, 2013 at 6.00 P.M. we had our 22nd Convocation. Shri Jaspal Singh Bindra, Executive Director and CEO-Asia, Standard Chartered PLC of Standard Chartered Bank Ltd. came as the Chief Guest. I finally convocated from the Xavier Institute of Management Bhubaneswar (XIMB). The degree of rural manager was awarded not only in letters but also in spirit. It will be impossible to say when so many of us will gather at the same place again. May be in upcoming 10- 15 years ! This could not have been achieved without emotional support and confidence by my parents, Prem bhaiya, Chandan, Shreyash, Abhishek and college friends like Gaurish, Gautam, Anshumani, Partha, Abhijeet etc. As an overpriced assets, we all are out of the walls of the college campus.

A person's most useful asset is not a head full of knowledge but a heart full of l...
