This is a first of its kind initiative in India but existent in other universities across the globe. The Campus walk, organized last year saw an attendance of more than 1000 people. The Campus Walk is an opportunity for the participants to be taken through the IIM-A campus on a guided tour with student volunteers, who will share information on various aspects like the renowned architecture, the history and alumni of IIMs, the campus culture and other trivia about the numerous places of interest on the beautiful campus.
This walk gives visitors the opportunity to get an inside glimpse into IIM Ahmedabad and the life of its students. By interacting with student volunteers from diverse fields during the walk, some of the student visitors could use this opportunity to get answers to some of their long-standing questions about different career paths and gain business management insights.
The walk will also include a visit to the Prayaas, comprising of a evening school where the students will talk about the initiative and its progress over the years. Prayaas has successfully grown to strength of over 50 students in its sixth year and various alumni, professors and corporates are now associated with Prayaas in various ways.
