At PIMR, we prioritize the holistic development of our students, emphasizing rural development, skill development, and social engagement. The Institute ensures that the students develop a greater understanding of Bharat and their responsibilities towards their society and Nation. We aim to achieve this with our flagship programs such as Samvedna and Literacy Mission. Through our “Samvedna” program, students undertake a one-month internship with NGOs, gaining a deeper understanding of Indian society and developing empathy. This initiative allows our students to engage directly with rural communities, contributing to meaningful social change and gaining insights into the challenges and opportunities in these areas. As part of our Literacy Mission, we have established a dedicated facility on our campus known as the “Literacy Room”. This initiative focuses on providing foundational knowledge to underprivileged children from nearby slums. Our faculty and students volunteer their time and effort to teach these children. In addition to this, we also distribute stationery items, educational toys, and other learning materials to support their educational journey. We are aiming to align it with Sustainable Development Goal 4.0, which is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. The Development of the urban poor and finding solutions to the problems of rural masses is the focus of these initiatives.
Our curriculum is designed to foster skill development as a core priority. We offer various functional clubs, Marketing Club, Finance Club, HR Club, and IB Club to name a few, that enhance industry readiness and hone students’ skills in the best possible way. We focus on practical aspects of business and industry, ensuring that students are equipped with the knowledge and abilities required to excel in their careers.
