FMS students promote social cause with innovative auctions of Coffee-dates, Bike-lessons and Gyan-sessions!

They organized an auction recently which saw students big for interesting items like coffee dates, gyaan sessions by the toppers, and even bike lessons. Students were able to collect Rs 21,000 in the auction. This auctions was organized by newly formed social service cell Vihaan at FMS.

Says FMS, Globally businesses are waking up to the far reaching implications of corporate social responsibility not just on their profit margins but also on the nation as a whole. At FMS, Delhi the students rightly believe that corporate social responsibility is about tradition and culture and goes much beyond charity.

This auction saw many innovative items being put on offer by the students ranging from coffee dates to gyaan sessions by the toppers. The highest money getter was Financial Accounting sessions by a senior, an intensely fought bid by the first year students. The coffee and dinner dates drew a lot of interest. Also bike lessons that were put on offer had many takers. Customized homemade food for a week at only Rupees 500 was a steal, so was the Unlimited chocolate cake and ice-cream treat that was sold for Rupees 270, says FMS.

Vihaan President, Mr. Ashish Agarwal says, Looking at the enthusiasm shown by the students, Vihaan intends to organize more such events through the course of the year. The fact that we during the 3 hours of the auction managed to collect approximately Rupees 21000 shows the success of the event. Vihaan has decided that this year also the money would be utilized for the education of girl children, as illiteracy especially of females is a huge roadblock to our growth.
