There are no promises in combat!
Mahindra Call for Arms, the battle of B-schools, is back. And how! 3 days to wage war, 4 (and more!) rounds of pitched battles, 12 teams with the world to win! Mahindra Call for Arms is Manfest’s search for that world-beating team. A competition that tests not only your managerial skills, but also your ability to perform, as a team, under tremendous pressure, against the cream of India’s business talent. Events span the length and breadth of the campus and are grounded in core competencies related to finance, marketing, operations, strategy and HR. Do you hear the battle cry already? We do too!

Th Yajna Pan India CSR Challenge[/b]
Though it is an integral part of any business strategy due to the sheer amount of recognition and goodwill that comes along with it, like any other endeavour CSR presents its own set of challenges such as aligning stakeholder interest with that of the venture as well as overcoming corporate inertia to do the right thing. Other external factors to that effect also affect implementation of CSR initiatives such as the slow change in society's outlook to the issue as well as feasibility of the project.
Yajna's endeavour to target and resolve specific CSR issues and solve issues by bringing together students from the country alongside corporate backing and NGO competence to resolve issues in select cities. Students from across Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai and Pune work closely with select NGO's from their city to analyze problems on the ground and find feasible solutions.
