Noida, India (prHWY.com) July 27, 2010 - SPJIMR, Mumbai has adopted a unique pedagogic innovation called "Abhyudaya" which means "Welfare and Development for All" to give management students a holistic perspective of the social responsibilities of future business leaders. This can be called a character building initiative in management education and can be achieved through sensitivity to right attitudes and values and establishing a personal plan of action to imbibe the knowledge, skills and attitudes for a sound management education.
Talking about this character building Initiative, Dr. M.L. Shrikant, Dean, SPJIMR said, "Abhyudaya, our present initiative which we believe to be very innovative, if successful will be effective in enabling character building of the participants."
He added, "Abhyudaya also serves our objective of being socially responsive as we propose to oversee the progression in the careers of the selected children of Municipal schools over a long period of time offering education through our different institutions".

Abhyudaya aims at reinforcing the strengths of the children which are called "Sitaras" adopted and equip them to compete with the best in society. Potential Sitaras are identified from Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and aided schools and undergo a rigorous selection procedure to be a part of Abhyudaya. Through this project, SPJIMR attempts to play the role of a catalyst by supporting the children so that they are able to realize their full potential.
Moreover, it should be mentioned here that "Abhyudaya" aims at growth of both Sitaras and Mentors. It provides a timely support and right guidance to Sitaras to help them realize their true potential and help their family and community in return.
For mentors, it aims at building an attitude of social responsiveness and to emphasize on spiritual Quotient which naturally strengthens Emotional Quotient. It gives them a chance to analyze the impact on their own psyche and self development.
Each Sitara is guided and supported by his / her own environment. Mentors who are first year PGDM participants become their role models, while parents, teachers, tutors, SPJIMR faculty and experts work together to help Sitaras excel. Weekly computer classes, music classes, regular medical checks, summer camps, counseling sessions, workshops and many other developmental activities are planned every year for the Sitaras.
Abhyudaya as "growing together and welfare and development of all" has its origin from one of the simplest but most practicable and profound thought 'be a contributor in preference to being a consumer'.

Through project Abhyudaya, Participants from SPJIMR will experience the joy of giving to society and then continue the process of contributing to the organization where they work, the major contributors to the development of their lives.
