Speaking to The Pioneer, general manager BHEl Rajeev Bhatnagar said, “This is a unique platform for grooming and developing young managers for tomorrow and is one of its kinds in India. This annual flagship programme of AIMA is in existence since 1974.
Each year, the competition focuses and deliberates on a contemporary theme of managerial interest and national significance.” The theme for this year’s NCYM is “Breaking Through: Making India a Creative Superpower”.
Participants as well as the jury members suggested various means and ways to make India a creative superpower. They suggested that number of patents filed by an organisation and IPRs is definitely one of the yardsticks of creativity. It was suggested by jury members that participants should bring out some noble solution for creativity to make India creative superpower. Senior officials of BHEl, members of the organizing committee, members of Hardwar Management Association were present on the occasion.
