About the I’M The Change Initiative
Tracing back to October 01, 2016, when the entire country was awaiting to observe the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, IMT Ghaziabad, translated his eternal teaching of “Be the change you want to see in the world” to launch a unique initiative titled “I’M The Change Initiative on Sustainability & Social Responsibility” comprising: (a) a required, three-credit course on Sustainability & Social Responsibility for the two-year PGDM Programme; and (b) a distinguished talk series called “I’M The Change Talk”. The SSR course, which embeds a service-learning pedagogy, requires students working in teams to engage with marginalized communities through the hands-on execution of social projects that are aligned with one or more sustainable development goals (SDGs) and are executed in partnership with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or government agencies. The core objective is to allow students to observe how people live who are unlike themselves, especially the underprivileged, and enable students to become contributors in social problem-solving and in the process experience the “joy of contribution”. I’M The Change Talk Series was launched as an integral part of the SSR course with the vision of allowing an opportunity for our students to learn from the real change makers and motivate them to do their bit for the society
