To acquaint the management students with positive social action, the fest would highlight activities of Akshya Patra Foundation, which provides mid-day meals to 40,000 poor students in and around Guwahati on a daily basis.

Organisers of the fest would provide the foundation opportunities to meet with corporates so that more funds can be raised to support their work.

The inauguration of the two-day event to be held at Shilpgram, Panjabari, will be attended by several eminent persons, including CC Mitra, director of IIBM as the chief guest.
