Saamanjasya or Collaboration is the call of the day. We cannot any longer seclude us from the rest of the society and ProgresS. This is even more relevant for corporate houses in today’s competitive world. This has led to the genesis of Samanjasya at Vinod Gupta School of Management, IIT Kharagpur.

Saamanjasya ’10 is being organized with the aim of bringing together Corporates and NGOs on a common platform to ensure inclusive growth and inculcate a culture of giving back to the society in our aspiring and educated youth. Saamanjasya ‘10 seeks to highlight the importance of a symbiotic Corporate-NGO partnership.

Corporate Social Responsibility is a mutual support program which enhances the efficacy of the social development initiatives for both corporate and NGOs. It develops greater trust and confidence in the community about the business organizations’ effort in their real development. Integrated community investment strategies align internal community-related issues and link business goals with community needs. Here the role of Non Governmental Organizations can be better realized. The NGO-Corporate liaison can better act as moderators and facilitators in the realization of communities’ social and environmental concerns.

With events spanning NGO case studies, Sales-pitch, Workshops on Green IT, Water Conservation; Leadership Summits bringing together representatives from corporate , government and NGOs; and entertaining concerts Saamanjasya is all geared up to become a unique platform for upping the noble cause by sensitizing us towards our society.

Saamanjasya ’10 strives to make the Corporate-NGO partnership sustainable, replicable and stronger thereby making the world a much better place to slive in.

Collaborate, Create and Commit ...for a Cause
