School of Inspired leadership (SOIl) has launched Social Innovation Programme (SIP) in the presence of Dr Kiran Bedi, social activist and retired IPS officer. SIP is an initiative to introduce and engage students in social development and community service.
In an effort to inculcate a sense of social awareness amongst the students, SIP has been a part of the curriculum since the inception of the institute. It involves each student compulsorily dedicating one day of each week, during the B-school tenure at SOIl to social causes.
With the help of SOIl NGO consortium, which includes 25 NGO’s as partners, students can participate in difference cause of concern, address them and work towards a solution. Dr Bedi’s Navjyoti India Foundation is also one of the esteemed partners of the consortium.
On the occasion, Dr Bedi addressed the audience and said: “It’s amazing that SOIl created a school which links directly to NGO’s. There’s no other short cut. When you’re working with NGO’s you’re seeing, feeling, believing. All your five senses are into it. You taste, feel the air, sense the people’s culture. This is something which should have started back from Class IX.”
