Students got an opportunity to learn a lot from the delegates of an international conference, which was organised recently by the department of management studies and research centre at BMS College of Engineering.
The conference threw more light on the topic of sustainability. Leena Guruprasad, one of the faculty members of the college, says that it is a platform for academicians, corporates and students to debate, analyse and understand the concerns relating to the theme of the conference — which was 'challenges of sustainability and growth in the Indian industry'.
Participants included academicians, research scholars, foreign delegates as well as students. Many students were also a part of the organising committee and helped in the smooth functioning of the conference.
"As we will soon be a part of the industry, getting to know about the facts and figures from the industry players was a good experience. Sometimes, it's important to get a feel of the real scenario and if our sources are correct, it will help us in taking a good decision regarding the future. Some very senior leaders from the industry were a part of the conference and gave some very important insights," says Shahana, a student.
She adds that some of the papers presented were very interesting and these conferences help in increasing the IQ of the students belonging to that particular industry.
"It helped make all of us aware about various subjects — which we previously had no clue about," she adds.
Arun, another student, says that it was an educational seminar and some topics, such as sn empirical study on market efficiency around stock split announcement and others like gender issues in the workplace, were quite interesting.
"It was actually an eye-opener for all of us. We got to know some mind-boggling statistics from the panellists and it helped in clearing many doubts that we had as well," he explains.
Students also pointed out that many of them got a clear picture of how the industry functions through the papers that were presented. "It was a great way to learn about various challenges in the industry, like gender and sustainability issues. It was a learning experience," adds Arun.
