ANTAR’s Inception

A committee for formalising FORE’s CSR activities was constituted as per a decision taken by the Faculty Council on Aug 18, 2008. It consisted of a chairperson and three other members from the faculty.

Students included a CSR project competition in their annual fest (Karmayog) which had participants from leading B-schools from across the country. FORE students’ project presentation won them the second prize.

A committee of the students for CSR-ANTAR was formed to act as an interface between students and faculty. This committee envisioned to be the catalyst to drive those who are socially aware and be a medium of awareness for the incognizant.

Discussions were held with two NGOs- ‘Save the Children’ and ‘Goonj’. The former would train students in how to build trust in underprivileged areas/villages-the beneficiaries of CSR activities. Towards that end, FORE will explore the possibility of holding medical camps in the neighbourhood villages of Katwaria Sarai and Adhchini.  Visits to these areas however revealed that the people there are by and large not exactly underprivileged.

ANTAR- in association with Goonj- carried out a campaign for collection of clothes. Subsequently, the collected clothes were gifted to Goonj in a simple and dignified function. The presence of Mr Anshu Gupta and Director, together with some faculty members, in the function, was very inspirational.
