- [5 Years Journey of IIFMight in Focus](https://iifmight.com/5-years-journey-of-iifmight-in-focus/): Somehow, IIFMight in Focus just turned five. Which means we’ve now been doing this series for longer than most start-ups survive, most WhatsApp groups stay civil, and definitely longer than we expected when we published the first post on 14 July 2020, the lockdown month.What began as a “let’s try getting someone to write something once a week” plan has quietly turned into a process with clockwork precision now. Not always perfect, not always edited well, but something that we kept coming back to. Between travel and work and life happening, the posts somehow kept appearing. One week at a time. As […]
- [Three Years of IIFMight in Focus- Behind the Scenes](https://iifmight.com/three-years-of-iifmight-in-focus-behind-the-scenes/): Encouraging alumni to pen down a 1500-2000 word self-reflection is no small feat, especially considering the pressures of modern work life. The task becomes even more daunting when you’re seeking contributions from senior alumni. And then, to repeat this endeavor every week… phew! Nevertheless, we’ve consistently achieved this for the past three years. Shrey shares the tale behind our “IIFMight in Focus” series, a testament to our determination and success… Team IIFMight As the "IIFMight in Focus" series reaches a significant milestone, we take a moment to reflect on the captivating narratives that have graced our pages throughout the years.

- [IIFM Consulting Club](https://iifmight.com/iifm-consulting-club/): IIFM alumni have unparalleled experience in a variety of roles in sectors that are emerging as one of exciting employers of young professionals. Climate change, ESG strategy, sustainable agriculture, and circular economy are some of the sectors that are a great fit for the passion and training that IIFM graduates have got in their formative years. Alumni can contribute significantly to improving IIFM students’ exposure and skillsets by providing them mentoring support and guiding them in taking the training and inputs provided by IIFM faculty to the next level.  IIFM students have already been reaching out to alumni on an […]
- [One year of IIFMight in Focus - Behind the scene](https://iifmight.com/one-year-of-iifmight-in-focus-behind-the-scene/): Getting alumni to write 1500-2000 words about himself/herself is not an easy job with all the work pressure! And, if you are chasing senior alums it gets even more challenging. And, then if you want to do it every week.. huh! But we managed to do it.. Srey writes the story behind the IIFMight in Focus series… It’s been a year since the first “IIFMight in Focus” was published on our IIFM community blog. Now 52 weeks and 52 alumni stories later, we can say that this initiative is starting to take shape on its own. We now know more […]

Dalits can be made ‘Heroes,’ essential workers, public servants, and they are symbolically revered if the need be, but their status is set in stone. They are and wishfully will remain sanitation workers. The destiny of their […]

- [16 Years of IIFMight](https://iifmight.com/16-years-of-iifmight/): It might be 16 years ago when this blog was setup but I can still vividly remember its origin. We were brainstorming about how we can make IIFM and its values reach out to more students and more recruiters.  There were limited options in those days if we wanted to leverage Internet. There was no Facebook,  no Instagram, no Twitter.  But we had blogs. The Indian blogospheres was taking shape and there were around 20-30 b-school guys creating [a b-school bloggers network]. This is the time when [Sidin Vadukut], [Rashmi Bansal], [Gaurav Sabnis], all were in the early phase of their writing careers […]

Ganesha Chaturthi was celebrated at the Indian Institute of Forest Management. Looking at the 21st-century environmental challenges, the emphasis was given on celebrating the festival in an eco-friendly manner. This included the activities such as celebrating the festival with minimal use of plastic, reuse of decoration materials, hundred percent clay idol with no artificial colours used for painting, nirmalya composting, eco-friendly immersion in artificial pond and plantation of a sapling from the clay of idol on the last day. On the Auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, with the blessing of lord Ganesha, we the green managers of […]
- [Janmashtami@IIFM](https://iifmight.com/janmashtamiiifm/): Govinda aala re……. aala !!!!!! Umang, the Cultural club of IIFM once again brought the smile and joy on the faces of students by organising Janmashtami and reminded the culture of family celebration and strong relations among the IIFM family. The buzz could be felt from the day before the Janmashtami itself with students forming their teams for the event and some student running around to get all the stuff from the market, to make sure that event went successfully. As we have the tradition and culture, the event started with Puja, and some students have taken fast also. Janmashtami […]
- [IIfm-Life Changing Experience](https://iifmight.com/iifm-life-changing-experience/): The very clichéd advice of ‘dream big’ has been a part of my everyday life while growing up. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, including those of my peers would only have those two words to say to me at family events, festivals, and even birthday parties! Over the course of time, it had all become very meaningless to me, mostly because whatever I had ‘dreamt’ of as a child had not quite taken shape. I had dreamt of being in the veterinary sciences, medical sciences, animation sciences too, but they weren’t quite realistic, at least not for someone like me. Herein comes […]
- [Time to start again!!!](https://iifmight.com/time-to-start-again/): More than a year has passed when I left those lofty gates. But still, not even a single day has gone, when I have not missed them. I don’t have words to express my gratitude to IIFM. Wherever I am standing now, it’s because of that alma mater of mine. And, I am sure many of you must be feeling the same. After passing out from there, I had so many new experiences and believe me all those new experiences would not have happened had I not joined IIFM. “Why IIFM”?The question which started from GD/PI…. And still, continues….. I […]

A B-School Shutterbug Photo Contest. Can’t believe that there are no entries from IIFM.. A beautiful campus and some really super-talented photography enthusiast.. I think we missed this because we could not get the information in time.. or we were too lazy (or too busy doing assignments) to showoff our campus and talent.. 😉

- [IIFMight needs contributors.](https://iifmight.com/iifmight-needs-contributors/): After a long time I tried posting something on this blog, but nothing came to my mind.. yeah nothing came to my mind that can be fit for a post on this particular blog. I do update my other blog once in a while but I write on this only when I have something which is related to IIFM. I realized that I have exhausted myself and have not much to share about my experience with IIFM/at IIFM /about IIFM. So I am making a request to the current batch of students and other alumni to contribute to this blog […]
- [](https://iifmight.com/84-2/): I have gone to the Forest Since March 2009, I left IIFM the second best place I ever lived in, after my home. As all other IIFMights believed, it was the time a new journey began. As the focus point changed, in came a new camera position, the new organisation, new forms, dead shapes. Trying to setup a visual rhythm seemed to come naturally. All of a sudden, I was in a forest of ‘Iron and Steel’, rather than a forest that I might dream of. I started in a big way. My first conference with international fraternity, in a […]
- [Two plus two years later....](https://iifmight.com/two-plus-two-years-later/): Last week when i was going through the pile of snaps on my hard disk, i found the ones taken a month into IIFM, with the batch mates still trying to know each other and adjust to each other. The first two months are a good enough measure of what life is going to be at IIFM over the next two years. Passing out of IIFM , one tends to feel sad. You think of the time you spent with your friends over the last two years and then all of a sudden you realise that this is it… No […]
- [A walk in the Niligiri](https://iifmight.com/a-walk-in-the-niligiri/): Standing over the high ridge of the Nilgiri Tahr Mukurthi National Park, I realised that walking across an area of 5,520 sq km was not going to be easy. But in the light of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve representing a microcosm of the diverse forests of Southern India, it was worth the effort…Our plan was to estimate wild honey bee colonies in the region. Starting from the Rajiv Gandhi National Park in Karnataka, we moved downwards to cover the entire biosphere. In the process, we gathered interesting information on honey bee populations and gained a larger perspective about the state […]

- [5 Yrs of IIFMight :)](https://iifmight.com/5-yrs-of-iifmight/): Next week this blog will be 5 years old and the guy writing this post will complete five years in IIFM family, 2 years as a student and 3 years as an alumnus. But those who abhor my narcissistic tendencies (yeah.. I have them in abundance.. I have a personal blog to brag about myself) should not worry as I am writing about the blog (to the extent possible) and not about myself. The blog was result of the frustrations of a prsopective IIFM applicant who tried to search online about the institute and all he got was IIFM official […]
- [My Seasons in the Sun](https://iifmight.com/my-seasons-in-the-sun/): Alumni? Well aren’t they just old college pass outs?? Why so much fuss about Alumni and Alumni Meets everyone in class thought… Ask me the same question today and I can swear on anyone they are more like parents and most of the times even more!! Internship time during an MBA course is all about organizational experience!! Work dynamics!! Group dynamics and pressure management!! All in a real time scenario!! I do agree but there are more facets to any work experience. Adjustment is the biggest factor to any kind of situation!! An internship is a clear check for everyone […]
- [Missing those lofty gates....](https://iifmight.com/missing-those-lofty-gates/): Right now, the batch of PFM 2010 is on their internship at every nook & corner of India. Right from Shimla to Madurai, in OWSA to Satpura Tiger Reserve, one can find them everywhere, working in scorching heat of this summer of Jaipur to enjoying the pristine beauty of Nainital. All hell bent on proving the mettle inside them… Sitting in the office, I wonder how IIFM must be looking now. With the seniors gone & 2010 batch not present in the campus now, does IIFM may be having the same charm& exuberance which it exudes whenever you enter the […]
- [Price? No. Value? Who cares...!!!](https://iifmight.com/price-no-value-who-cares/): I am an inherently lazy person. But today I finally bring myself to write something which has been bothering me all along in IIFM, right from the time I came here: all of us here are barking dogs who never bite!We will talk of sustainable development and watershed management, but care tuppence about the water overflowing and draining away from the hostel tank twice a day every day, for more than half an hour each time. Or for that matter, leaving taps open and imagining sweet dreams while the water flows. We will talk of equitable distribution but lazily refuse […]
- [Change for good ?](https://iifmight.com/change-for-good/): A few years back in search of an institution which can add some value to my CV, I ended up at the gates of IIFM. I was there for my GD/PI. I was about to leave the auto at the gate itself, but the auto-driver told me the institute is about one km up on the hilltop and he was right as I could not see anything from the gate apart from trees in different stage of their lifecycle and a big clump of bamboos (a few months later I realized that these bamboos have their own family ‘poaceae’ and […]
- [Reminiscence Ruminations](https://iifmight.com/reminiscence-ruminations/): Another Alumni Meet has passed. This time, it was the M.P. Chapter. We had 22 confirmations. Twelve came. Well, I am very happy with the Meet this time (of course, learnings are always there!).  For one, the event was refreshingly organized – and all efforts of the Alumni Committee, and of Dhaval, were there for everyone to see. Second, there was a much better co-ordination between the Clubs and their events. Third, volume-wise, many more turned up – both, from the alumni and the students’ side. Of course, volumes in these cases are always something to crib about, but I’m […]
- [Alumni Meet in Bhopal, 9th November](https://iifmight.com/alumni-meet-in-bhopal-9th-november/): Sunday, the 9th saw few IIFM Alumni back to their Campus. Current batches planned events etc and executed them well. I was not the one going back to campus after years, it is just months for me but thanks to the name of event there were more people around. So we introduced ourselves, shared a moment from our time in the campus, played ad-mad, heard songs, did some clay artwork, ate lunch, talked to director and students, drank tea, some of us saw movie while we spirited. Alumni Committee – I loved the momento!Please share the photographs asap.
- [Your Network,Your net worth.](https://iifmight.com/your-networkyour-net-worth/): Sometime back I was discussing recruitment processes  with my friends/colleagues and some professors;  the discussion started getting focused on the key skill sets/attributes/features playing critical role in selection. Though we are quite aware of  most  of the skill sets and attributes affecting selection decision, an interesting attribute was the network a candidate has access to. Yes, your network constitutes a significant part of your net worth. A recruiters (especially those recruiting for managerial posts and  not for skill specific jobs like programmers or firefighters) primarily assess the total value a candidate brings to the table and unlike one’s individual skill […]
- [itinerant weekend... itinerant thoughts...](https://iifmight.com/itinerant-weekend-itinerant-thoughts/): I’m just back from Indore, where I went without a tangible purpose, over the weekend. I’d had enough of student life. I wanted the life of a wanderer. I wanted time to introspect… and emerge anew. Of course, I was only partly a wanderer – I had money, you see! Still, I did spend a lot of time with myself. So when I was finally free from Rohit (O yeah, coincidentally, he too visited Indore these days – and I strictly asked him to leave me alone!) and the yummy poha-jalebi he dished out on Saturday morning, I found myself […]
- [The Journey](https://iifmight.com/the-journey/): Ujjawal has realized now that he is in love. I have always been in love – but the euphoria is over. I had come to IIFM with a completely different mindset – one teetering more on dreams than what it actually offers. Not that the dreams have shattered – they still form a core of my everyday life, but are dormant. I now know where exactly IIFM can take me… if I only want it… if I only work for it – the destination is ahead, but what about the journey? This one year has taught me a hell lot […]
- [I am in love..](https://iifmight.com/i-am-in-love/): I am in love…..I am in love…..I am in love…..Yes this is true and now I will have to live the rest of my life with the fact that I am in love and I could not do anything about it, because I know that however hard I might try, I can’t have it forever.But just one year… too bad!Also, late realization is another sin that I have committed. Had I realized it earlier, I would have made the best use of the time, since we have been together for past one year. How true it is that you come […]

- [What makes an entrepreneur?](https://iifmight.com/what-makes-an-entrepreneur/): What are the traits and factors which decide whether somebody is going to be an entrepreneur or not? Are there some factors/traits which are more important than other for being a successful entrepreneur? A research paper by a team of researchers from The World Bank, CEPR and CEFIR, provides good insight on above question on the basis of data collected on 400 random Brazilian Entrepreneurs.   Some interesting findings from the paper: Brazilian entrepreneurs are coming more from rural areas than urban areas and they are more likely to be married and less likely to be overweight. They are taller by […]

- [IIFM Placement 2008](https://iifmight.com/iifm-placement-2008/): I cannot believe myself that I am writing this post. I am going to write about our Placements (PGDFM 2008). Last time when I wrote about our seniors’ placements, it was more of Information Sharing. Now I have realized the process and the ecstasy, smile, pain, desperation, tears attached with the process. Yes, Placement Process itself is great learning experience. Though I was out of the process (because of PPO from OT-II organization) still I felt the heat and now most happy like all other batch mates.Placement 2008 is over and like the previous years, we achieved 100% placement in […]
- [In the forest of night](https://iifmight.com/in-the-forest-of-night/): “In the Forest of Night” just stumbled upon this blog somehow in the blogosphere.. okey not somehow .. but out of my knack for finding IIFM related blogs on web. So here is a blog not that regularly updated but written passionately about ‘Forest’.. written by an IIFMight. IIFMight, who is “happy in his work, happy enough in the knowledge of his friends moving on to much better paying jobs, yet expressing their wonder at his work and how meaningful it is, he is also happy enough to somehow fob off the jibes of those who attempt to show him […]

The number of Days in IIFM (Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal) now can be counted on fingers. Two Years. It is like a roller coaster ride.

Report start kiya kya ?? “ Live here from Mumbai 🙂 Mumbai is beautiful….The people here are very nice…everybody gives you a patient listening on anything you have to say (whether the matter being discussed is of their interest or not doesn’t really matter to them) The huge red buses with […]
- [IIFMightes in Development Sector](https://iifmight.com/iifmightes-in-development-sector/):                                                 -Prashant Mishra (PFM 2002-04) Completing 4 years of my sojourn in the development sector almost six years after passing through the lofty IIFM gate (the water tank) for the first time, I am reflecting about how the journey has been so far and what lies ahead for me… or rather, for us.Always keen to work for the development sector since my graduation days, I joined the 13th Batch of IIFM in June 2000. Experiencing the course in the next two years made me sure that I was meant for the grassroots and so did both my OTs with grassroots […]
- [Remembering IIFM](https://iifmight.com/remembering-iifm/):                                                        — Abhishek Kar (PFM 05-07) In 2004 when I enrolled for Masters degree programme at Presidency College, Kolkata to specialize in Nuclear Physics, I had never heard of IIFM. But destiny had other plans for me. Ideological conflicts/considerations drew me towards rural energy issues and its importance. With utter dismay, I somehow strongly believed that energy management at village level would ensure energy security of India (a pretty naïve thought-I admit today!) So I started looking for getting training in sociological/managerial training with focus on rural areas to add on to my technical exposure in energy instruments. Googling brought […]
- [Changes at IIFM](https://iifmight.com/changes-at-iifm/): For quite some time we have been listening about introducing new courses and increasing batch strength at IIFM, but it has come into effect now. So the batch intake has gone from 45 to 60 and IIFM now offers three specialization (earlier we had electives to choose from) viz. Environment Management, Development Management and Forest Management. The PGDFM (Post Graduate Diploma in Forestry Management) has been renamed as PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management). Though it would be like PGDM-EM (for Environment Management), PGDM-DM (for Development Management) and PGDM-FM (for Forest Management) The other significant change is scrapping of M.Phil […]

Well you need not know reason for your action all the times…. isn’t it. Reason for being there was a small party on xmas eve thrown by Santosh, he was living with me in vidisha and we came togehter to Bhopal. Everything was quite familier guys playing baddy, almost empty CC (junior batch at the campus is out on field trip), same coldness and calmness around Academic block, […]

The Cold War was about Einstein’s mass-energy equation, e = mc2 . Globalization tends to revolve around Moore’s Law, which states that the computing power of silicon chips will double every eighteen to twenty-four months, while the price will halve. In the Cold War, the most frequently asked […]

- [Kudos to the Team Synergy !!!](https://iifmight.com/kudos-to-the-team-synergy/): In a way it’s a nice feeling to bump against lost souls, better if it happens to be your alma mater. Lost not in the literal sense of the word but in a way ;yup; certainly yes when it happens to be a scoop of out nostalgia. I can already speculate on the amount of excitement and the buzz that must be doing the rounds back home in lush green locales of the campus. In many ways it can be a start of many chapters to be penned; in many; none of any. Depends on where you guys want to […]
- [Team Synergy](https://iifmight.com/team-synergy/): Synergy (or should i say Sampark in its new form) is commendable effort and the it has been possible mainly through the efforts of Mayank, Satyajit (both from PFM 2007) and always inspiring and helping Dr. C.S. Rathore. Synergy is now two issue old and there is a lot going on to make it more comprehensive and more useful.

Here is a look at the new Team Synergy, I had a chance to interact with all of them and this interaction […]

Synergy, is the new Avatar of Sampark, I suppose, and felt nice to see its second issue on IIFM ‘s website. Kudos to Satyajit & Mayank(I feel sorry for his Blog, it is hibernating since last one year) and hope that they continue their effort in future […]

Though i have still conserved all the memories, yes, i have almost all the mails i received at ssingh@iifm.ac.in. Sadly this email id is  no longer with me. It has been the battle field where numerous mail wars have been fought, won, lost and several armstices/truces achieved.

Going back one feels how stupid we were ( I dont know about you, but i was.). The whole thing ran […]

Reason….for two years xyz@iifm.ac.in was identity for 44 of us, and a symbol of proud too.It gave a sense of belongingness and ownership with the institute.The platform was a witness of endless mailwars, assignmnets sharings, announcements by CR/Faculty and what not…anything you wanted to share, put it to Group Mail. I dont understand why institute cannot keep these email ids forever. I dont think […]

The interview made me to look for some more info on Satish Kumar and his works. An easy search on google gave me enough about this amazing personality. Since then I have been regularly following his articles and his magazine ‘Resurgence’. Mr. Satish Kumar cannot be put into the category of charismatic leader or into the category of bestselling authors by many, but he is a living example of how one person can live […]

Student life at IIFM, Bhopal has come to an end and became a very beautiful chapter of my life. Suddenly you are no longer thinking of visiting the library or exploring the internet for completing your assignment because now the assignments which I have got as an employee have to be done very differently.

Well, it is a small town, which was earlier a part of the Tonk State during the pre independence era. District Sironj was a part of Rajasthan State after independence. It was one of the strangest districts of independent India, as it was a part of Rajasthan, yet it was surrounded from all sides by Madhya Pradesh. This situation continued till 1956, when, under the state re organization act, it was merged in the state of Madhya Pradesh and was […]
