SIP MELA: A Celebration of
Sustainability and Societal Impact
FIIB’s SIP Mela was not merely an exhibition but
a lively celebration of the dedication shown by
240 students in fostering meaningful societal
impacts through their projects. Students
eagerly shared their impactful experiences and
insights from their social internships with 25
esteemed Social Sector Organizations (SSOs)
throughout the event. They effectively utilized
their business acumen and problem-solving
skills to address real-world challenges, from
conducting research projects to spearheading
consulting initiatives and launching fundraising
campaigns.
These endeavors encompassed a broad
spectrum of societal issues, ranging from
addressing social and economic inequalities
for the LGBTQ+ communities in India to
co-authoring guidebooks for parents
of children with intellectual disabilities to
developing educational support programs for
economically disadvantaged students, among
others. Inspired by the Sanskrit meaning of
a mela, signifying a 'gathering' or 'to meet,'
the SIP Mela embodied FIIB's commitment for
collective action for a greater purpose.
This initiative underscores the institution's
dedication towards instilling a lifelong service-
learning mindset in its students, empowering
them to confront global challenges confidently.
Aligned with United Nations’ Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) like Quality
Education (SDG4), Gender Equality (SDG5),
Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG8),
and Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
(SDG9); the student's project work highlights
FIIB's commitment to nurturing leaders
poised to create a sustainable and equitable
society. Moreover, students extended their
appreciation to the SSO partners, who served
as employers, mentors and guides, amplifying
their talents and recognizing them as heroes
for their invaluable contributions.
