CHENNAI: Chief Minister MK Stalin, participating in the 33rd graduation day ceremony of Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM) here on Monday, said that leadership skills were not only about the position one holds or salary; instead, it was the positive impact one creates.
Addressing the audience, the CM added, “It’s an important day for students graduating from here. The degree in your hand is not a piece of paper, but the fruit of your hard work and recognition of your knowledge and talent.”
He also educated students that the world was changing fast and everyone must keep up with it. “If not updated with the changing world, we’ll be called outdated. Importantly, honing leadership skills is paramount. It’s not just a position or salary. Striking the right balance between success and discipline,” he explained.
The ceremony included conferring degrees to 197 candidates, presenting medals to top performers and launching the research incubation compendium by the CM.
BIM, founded in 1984 in Tiruchy, is inching its next 40 years of academic growth. Also, in support of TN’s ambition to become a global deep-technology hub, BIM has partnered with the iTamilnadu Technology (iTNT) Foundation, the state’s designated agency under the Department of IT and Digital Services, to promote research, entrepreneurship, and talent development in emerging technologies. The institute is also working with several digital companies based in the state to deliver technology-based solutions to end users in healthcare, banking, and finance worldwide, generating substantial revenue from consultancy services.
As per BIM press note, the varsity has also collaborated with several key government departments and institutions such as supporting the State Planning Commission’s focus block development programme in 12 TN districts, partnering with iTNT for capacity building in the deep-tech space and conducting research with the TN Irrigation Management and Training Institute under the Department of Irrigation, on water management and efficient irrigation systems.
