LLIM reaches out to Cancer Affected Children through its ‘Share Happiness’ Campaign
Lala Lapatrai Institute of Management inaugurated its 7th Annual Cultural Festival ‘Chakravyuh’ on the 24th of September 2011. This prestigious event was inaugurated in the morning by Mr. Abhijeet Sawant-the first-ever Indian Idol.

This year, ‘Chakravyuh’ received an overwhelming response of more than 6,000 students coming in from over 50 management institutes across the city.
LLIM also conducted its ‘Share Happiness’ campaign by inviting more than 20 cancer affected children from The Tata Memorial Centre for this event. The purpose of this campaign was to briefly contribute to the happiness of these special children. Various arrangements like games, gifts, interaction with the chief guest, etc. were made to bring in a ray of joy and delight of these extraordinary guests. When asked about his experience in ‘Chakravyuh’, one of the children said, “Me and my friends were delighted to be here and had a lot of fun especially playing games. We also enjoyed our interaction with Abhijeet Sawant.” Abhijeet Sawant added that, “Apart from organising a fantastic event like ‘Chakravyuh’, I really appreciate LLIM’s efforts to organise this ‘Share Happiness’ campaign for these beautiful children from The Tata Memorial Centre. I am glad to be a part of this great gesture.”

Bhasin, Chairperson for Chakravyuh and M.M.S co-ordinator said that, “Chakravyuh has always been a great platform to provide a glimpse of the corporate world to various management students across the city through our various events.
