i2India Program of BHAU Institute of Innovation, Entrepreneuship & Leadership
Dear Alumni:
Here is some information and the program flyer for your kind review.
It is with great pleasure that I share with you the launching of Ignited Innovators of India(i2India) program.
This program is launched by Bhau Institute of Innovation, Entrepreneurship & leadership,COEP in association with Sakal Group and Deshpande Foundation(based out of India and USA).
The idea of the program is to promote and instill the entrepreneurship, leadership and team building skills amongst college students in Pune. The students in various colleges would take up innovative projects which can make difference in the society around them. These student teams would write the project plan, compete and participate in the final function at the end of six months where a trophy would be awarded to the winner group. We would also seek corporate sponsors once the program gets some momentum.
Bhau Institute would partially fund these projects and encourage the students to raise some money from the stakeholders.
I am sending herewith a one pager about the program, which should help spread social entrepreneurship and leadership skills amongst the kids for constructive causes like health, education, empowerment and beautification.
Your comments and suggestions would be very helpful.

Dear Alumni,
Please see the news item concerned with the land of the institute where we wish to build a world class library.
We need to ensure that institute does not lose this valuable piece of land.

You may be aware that institute is the rightful owner of the land where
Patil Estate slum exists. On 29th June 2009 five men were arrested for
possessing illegal arms and ammunition near the Patil Estate adjacent to COEP.
We have already forwarded our concerns to the concerned authorities. A
Court case is also pending in this matter. Institute has been trying its
best to recover all the land belonging to the College. Your support in
this matter is appreciated.
Please post your comments in order to pressurize the Government to take
serious steps to get this land vacated and handed over to us.
