IIM, Lucknow to Organize Harmony Cup '09
On September 30-October 2, 2009

The occasion of Gandhi Jayanti has always been celebrated joyously by Indians. A national holiday not less than Independence Day, it has also been declared International Non-Violence Day. On this day and the two preceding days (from September 30th to October 2nd), Bhavishya with the support of its sponsors Beeaar Hyundai, Royal Enfield and Bhagwat Das & Sons, is organizing Harmony Cup for the third year. The event will kick off on 30th September at 3:00 PM.

The entire IIM Lucknow has joined in to contribute for a cause, this time, with students and faculty alike playing with enthusiasm. The event is expected to invite participation from over 200 players. The cricket tournament will be held over three days, between the myriad committees and clubs of IIM Lucknow, and the non-committee teams. The popularity of the event has also led to the inclusion of the Alumni of IIM Lucknow and the corporate community of Lucknow, with the participation of a team comprising of Managers from TCS, Tata Motors, Beeaar Hyundai and Royal Enfield. The event promises exciting matches between the Faculty of IIM Lucknow and Students’ Council and Alumni and the Corporate team.

The amount raised will be used for three purposes. Lack of basic educational infrastructure has been a major impediment in the proliferation of primary & secondary education in India. Prakash Bal Vidya Mandir, partner school in Bhavishya’s Disha – the mentorship program for students from underprivileged background, is no exception. Due to its scant financial resources, it is unable to provide basic library facilities to its students. A part of the funds generated through this event will be used to set up a library at Prakash Bal Vidya Mandir.

Rajkiya Balgriha, an Orphanage in Lucknow, is ailing with the problem of ever increasing number of children and an old and rapidly deteriorating infrastructure to support the children. Bhavishya will contribute a part of the funds raised towards the improvement of living conditions at Rajkiya Balgriha, and provide the children a healthier environment.

Fatima Arunkumar Marneni was a student of the batch of 2010 at IIM Lucknow. To help his bereaved family through the difficult times following his sad and untimely demise, Bhavishya will contribute a part of the funds raised to a welfare fund established for the benefit of Fatima Arunkumar’s family.
