A beginner’s view of Enactus!

At the heart of entrepreneurship is the ability to see hidden opportunity that might not be visible to the naked eye. At SIMSR, Enactus students have always demonstrated that entrepreneurial action can be a powerful catalyst for enabling greater human progress. Through rigorous scrutinization processes conducted by student of senior batch,I got selected in Enactus Junior batch of 2014-16.

In the first official meet, the junior batch was taken through all the initiatives of the committee. My big moment came when the projects were presented by the team leaders. I was overwhelmed by the excitement, passion and, most of all, the impact of the projects on the communities. The power to change all parties involved – students, community and sponsors – and giving them a totally different perspective on how to act as a society was incredible. These projects included empathy, empowerment, responsibility, initiative, etc. – everything was there, and on top of it, with a long-lasting effect. This inspired us to build a better Enactus so that all participating students can go on to change more lives.  Together we set about constructing new project resources – so keep an eye out for new tools and training event materials to come soon.

So as a new joiner how do I sum up Enactus? It is a unique program that is capable of changing the lives of all involved and starting a cycle of improvement for the whole society. First few days proved fantastic for bettering the program and we look forward to implementing the new ideas and working further with our seniors’ batch. A BIG thank you to all for giving us an opportunity to work with Enactus team. We assure you that as a new team we will do our best to make you proud.

In the end, we have legacy to continue!
