Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Indore has kick started the annual management and cultural fest, IRIS 2021 from today, i.e. November 12, 2021. The three-day fest will witness 2 events including flagship events such as Drona and Ashwamedha, with participants from across the nation. This time the event has been organized in online mode. The annual sports fest, Ranbhoomi will also be conducted as a part of IRIS, reads the official press note. The highlight of the fest this year includes Comedy Night by Rahul Dua, Envision Speaker series from Corporate Leader and author Sandeep Das, and Tarun Katial, Founder of Media Tech.

As a part of IRIS’21, every year IIM Indore participants have been attempting to break a world record with an objective to create awareness about a social cause/issue. This year, the participants designed the largest mosaic installation using sanitizer sachets associated with the ‘Asian Book of Records’ to generate consciousness about hygiene and sanitation as a solution to tackle not only COVID19, but also to live a healthy, clean and safe life, it further adds. About 65 out of 100 people are not washing their hands before eating. This indicates that people are not using sanitizers regularly and nearly 12.5 million people (estimated) around the world are dying every year due to an unhygienic environment.

In order to create the record in a 650 sq. ft area, a total of 40,000 sanitizer sachets have been used. A team of 25 students participated in the execution, working continuously for more than 10 hours. Students created the mosaic in the shape of the brand logo Noise, in honour of their association as title sponsors for IRIS’21, the institute states.

In line with IIM Indore’s mission to develop socially conscious leaders, managers and entrepreneurs who contribute to the nation building, it has been a habit of responsibility as well as matter of continuing the legacy for the students of IIM Indore to start their annual event by creating awareness about the social responsibilities and duties to the social communities.
