‘Open Learning Day’ to be organised at IIFM

Wednesday, 21 August 2019 | SR | Bhopal

An Open Learning Day will be organised on Wednesday at Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal.

The Indian Institute of Forest Management, which is one of the country's renowned B-schools, is trying to undertake an educational-learning initiative called "Open Learning Day". The idea behind this Open Learning Day is to provide students with the opportunity to learn outside of classrooms through real-life activities and tasks.

The idea is to provide a platform for students to put creativity, innovation and critical thinking in a pleasant environment by breaking the monotony of learning in classrooms and encouraging practical learning. This is the second event of this series.

The second 'Open Learning Day', to be held on Wednesday, is a real-life empirical program on sales and marketing in which the students of the institute will hold selected items in the form of illustrated fiction books and learning material from Eklavya (a non-profit organization).

As many as 13 groups of students of two-year postgraduate programs in Forest Management and Sustainability Management will be in the market from 11.00 am to 3.00 pm and try to sell their things by talking to customers in the market. Students will use all the necessary skills to sell their products to customers at various places in Bhopal such as New Market, Mata Mandir, Limnabhatti, 10 Number Market, Bithan Market, MP Nagar and Shahpura Market. At the end of the day, all these groups will return to the institute campus and in a closing session will discuss with their mentor about the lessons learned from the market and the challenges faced by customers during and after sales.

Mentor Ayanyani Natural Foods Pvt. The founder is Sandeep Saxena. In preparation for this program, on Tuesday, Saxena took a session on sales and marketing, in which students had the opportunity to interact with Mentor and get information about the sales and marketing process.

 The programme will be inaugurated  on Wednesday by Pankaj Shrivastava, Director of Indian Institute of Forest Management and CS. Rathore.
