IIM-A pupils to attend global meet

Good Morning Friends, IIM-Ahmedabd is something we all take proud. They added something more which makes us feel proud. Two students from IIM-A are going to attend Women’s Forum Global Meeting in France. Read the complete news below.

Giving students an international experience is a conscious effort of Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A). But students this year have gone a step further.

From just representing the country in the corporate world and academic institutes in the West, we now have, for the first time, two students as part of a delegation representing India at the Women's Forum Global Meeting to be held from October 16 to 18 at Deauville in France.

Siddhartha Priya and Kanika Khanna are among 20 students selected from across the world. "This is a great opportunity for us. We were selected on the basis of personal testimonial and country summary. Basically, we have to bring forth the role of technology and communication in shaping future of women in our country," said Priya.

They have discussed the scenario in urban India where BPO industry and advancing technology - like web conferencing - are being used to enable women to work from home. Community radio, which is helping rural women to a great extent, has also been discussed she added.


The duo has to interview three women - a management student, an aspiring businesswoman and a successful businesswoman by September 15.


Started in 2005, the meet is an international event of Women's Forum for the Economy and Society with around 1,200 delegates from over 70 countries participating. The forum promotes women's vision on current economic and social issues. This year's theme is 'Progress to share, future to dare'.
