Mangalore, March 12: The St Aloysius Institute of Management and Information Technology, MBA Division, is organizing a two-day national level management fest 'Insignia-2012' from Mar 15 at the AIMIT, Beeri campus, near here.

Insignia 2012 is a bold step towards a paradigm shift towards management studies and is a quest for another meaningful dimension to management studies. The theme for this year's fest is 'The Blue Oceanic Quest – A Journey beyond imagination'. In order to tackle the growing concerns of compartmentalisation, the institute is presenting a small yet effective step of integrating the various management disciplines at Insignia- 2012.

The prime objective of Insignia-2012 is to help management students to look at the blue oceans i.e. markets, products, ideas that are unexplored rather than fight for a small share in the red-competitive oceans. The key to achieve these blue oceans can only be thinking creatively, innovatively and thinking out of the box. The organizers have come up with this innovative idea of including even fashion- management institutes fort his learning –enriching experience besides MBA/PG programs in business. The registration fee per team is Rs 3000 which includes food and accommodation and to and fro transportation expenses between AIMIT and Mangalore.

These events are: Best Chief Minister, The AIMIT village, Catastrophic Healthcare Management, Sports Management, Fashion and Entertainment, Eco Management and Personal Investment Planning.

None of these events are the traditional compartmentalised management –fast games of marketing, HR or Finance and they focus on different dimensions of business management. All these events will have multiple engrossing, compelling and engaging rounds with the increasing levels of complexity. The events will be conducted in the beautiful and vast 17 acre campus and also around the locality, adding maximum punch of practicality to them. The final round ,a complete integration one will be conducted in the college auditorium by 2.30 PM on Mar 16,2012.

From malls to highways, Kannada signboards to be enforced in Dakshina Kannada

Mangaluru: Urban local bodies and gram panchayats should make the use of Kannada on signboards mandatory while issuing trade licences to commercial establishments, Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Darshan HV said. He also called for regular inspections to ensure compliance.

Presiding over the District Kannada Awareness Committee meeting at the deputy commissioner’s office, Darshan said the city corporation would be directed to ensure that shops operating in malls prominently display their names in Kannada. “All commercial establishments, including shops, companies, offices and hotels, must mandatorily display their names in Kannada on signboards,” he said.

The deputy commissioner added that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) would be instructed to include Kannada on signboards along national highways. Banks, he said, would be directed through committee meetings to provide application forms in Kannada.

“Even if English-medium schools and colleges impart education in English, their signboards must display the institution’s name in Kannada. Steps will also be taken to ensure that private buses display place names in Kannada,” Darshan said.

During the meeting, committee members raised concerns over the closure of Kannada-medium schools in rural areas due to a shortage of teachers and stressed the need for immediate corrective measures. They also pointed out that several industries employ workers from other states while overlooking local candidates.

Members further demanded that nationalised banks provide deposit and withdrawal slips in Kannada. It was brought to the deputy commissioner’s notice that the presence of staff without knowledge of Kannada in rural branches of nationalised banks is causing hardship to local customers.

Meanwhile, MP Srinath, president of the District Kannada Sahitya Parishat, urged the district administration to allot land for the construction of a district Kannada Bhavana in Mangaluru.
