<p style="text-align: justify;">Practical application is of prime importance in the field of management and is meant to be refined through constant endeavours and innovative approaches. National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), Mumbai &ndash; one of India&rsquo;s most prestigious b-schools &ndash; is a pioneering institution in the country upholding this belief. NITIE believes that the strength of an academic program is best judged by the fine balance between academic rigour and student participation in extracurricular activities. Mandi is a brilliant example which demonstrates this fine balance in a unique way.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><img style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 3px 4px; float: left;" src="https://images.shiksha.com/mediadata/images/1250137659phpd5SG3r.jpeg" alt="" width="140" height="90">Mandi is a one-of-a-kind event wherein the students of NITIE take to the streets of Mumbai, selling educational toys designed by an NGO, Navnirmiti.
