Abhyudaya Updates

15th year of Hastantaran

Over 240 'Sitaras' brightened the SPJIMR campus on August 7, 2022, as Abhyudaya celebrated the 15th year of its flagship event, Hastantaran. Abhyudaya is a year-long mentorship experience where the first-year PGDM participants mentor bright, underprivileged school children, fondly called 'Sitaras'. Every year Hastantaran celebrates the handing over of the special mentor-mentee bond, from the second-year to the first-year participants and initiates their 'growing together' journey.

Linda Colley's 'The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen' is a wide-ranging exploration of the evolution of constitutions, a book that demonstrates how increasingly violent warfare led to the global dissemination of these documents between the 18th and early 20th centuries.

In this episode, Colley explores the global influences on Indian constitutional philosophy, the relevance of constitutions today, and the need for accessible works by historians.

The series which is presented, by the Centre for Wisdom in Leadership (CWIL) features conversations with writers of recent works of world and Indian history and investigates political and economic leadership in unusual or unconventional situations.
