The Student Development Cell of MMBGIMS organized the Aarambh event for the MMS Batch Semester III of 2023-25. During the event, students received an overview of the entire academic year, including a list of upcoming activities and events. A total of 35 students and 6 faculty members attended the event.
The event began with our director, Prof. Dr. Vidya Hattangadi, who welcomed all the students. After her welcome, the other faculty members took over and started with a series of games. The theme of the games was leadership and coordination with team members.
In the first game, “Follow the Leader,” Dr. Jessica Fernandes was In-charge. She instructed the students to follow sounds and provided a demo on how to play the game. The second game, “Follow the Leader,” was led by Mr. Santosh Datkhile. In this version, students need to follow actions instead of sounds. Lastly, Mr. Aakash Rebello guided students to play the game (Scalar Chain). We made groups of 5 with 6 to 7 members each and gave a riddle to the group leader at the start. The leaders whispered the sentence to their members, and the last member of each team who retained the most words correctly won.
Finally, Ms. Namrata Uppal concluded the Aarambh with a token of thanks and appreciation.
Students thoroughly enjoyed the event and learned valuable management lessons such as leadership, coordination, and teamwork.
Learning: Students learned important management lessons like leadership, coordination, and teamwork spirit.
Feedback: Both faculty and students enjoyed the overall execution of the Aarambh event, including the games and activities conducted.
