IIFM ROCKS

With boom in Indian Economy and banking sector focusing on rural finance, IIFMights are getting outmost important for the recruiters in this sector,  placement 2007  in IIFM  scenario reflects the same. All the leading banks, marketing research organization have came to IIFM campus for placement 2007.  Like previous year international organization Olam International came with highest package which is around 30 lakh per annum and it’s a foreign placement.Next highest package was offered by Indian Market Research Bureau (IMRB) for domestic placement and it was 7.25 lakh per annum. 4 students were placed in IMRB. Talking about the banking sector, ICICI-RMAG has   recruited 7 students with package of 6 lakh +, ICICI- Prudential has recruited  7 students with package of 6 lakh+, India Bulls Securities Ltd has recruited 8 students with package of 6 lakh+, HDFC bank has recruited 5 students with package of 4.75 lakh. In the Microfinance Sector, SKS microfinance has recruited 2 students with package of around 3.6 lakh per annum.
Now if I talk about the PPOs (pre placement offer) ,One
Student has done it in the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) with package of arond 7.5 lakh and one in TERI with average package of 4 lakh per annum.
IIFMights are always demanding choice in Paper industry. This year Grasim Industry, part of Aditya Birla Group has recruited 5 students with average package of 4.2 lakh and it includes internationa offer and J.k Paper has recruited I student with package of 3.85 lakh per annum.
Considering the all package , the average package will be around 6 lakh+ which is far better than last year package of 4.2 lakh+. so in a word placement 2007 in iifm was rocking and according to our seniors and professors it will be better in the coming years
I also thank Ashish sir and other seniors who has set this high benchmark.  I also thank our favorite sir Prof.
Biswas sir for his continuous and meticulous efforts in the placement, without him this was not possible.

Top Ten Picture Of Karnataka Trip

Pic-1:

It was last day of my trip, i was on my train to Bhopal sitting on the upper birth of the train. A 28 year boy(later came to know his name Rohan, a guitarist) with big hair(my dream) helping her Girlfriend(22year old) litteraily like child before she goes for sleep.Rohan was making bed for her,arranging pillow, covering the girl with blanket and the way he said good night to her..still on my eyes..when i will be the boy and dear you will be that girl..dear i love you so much!

Pic-2:

Dear,before entrance in my life(that was in third year of my graduation), my interaction with girl was like Polar Bear interacting with Penguins(both belong to different pole of the world). now in this field trip many occasion i was going for walk.breakfast.tiffin,lunch,dinner with two girls who were my teammates…my god..my parents will also not believe this! this is pic no 2.hope Kalpana and Shewata will not mind any thing.

Pic-3:

It would be my eating of Rice.Though this pic was more important to my team mates but i fell it is mention worthy.after so many days i eat rice with so freely.Shewata says that with the concentration i eat rice..if i study with same concentration i may become topper. good picture na!

Pic-4:

It was first day!we dont have reservation of our tickets…so we were given royal treatment by Mr.Lalu and Co.we were sitting beside the bathroom..and i was eating egg curry and roti(Bread) in front of the bathroom sitting on the floor.can’t there be any better picture in the whole trip.

Pic-5:

It was on Goa beach. I saw a bangali family(and u know how much i become excited if i see any bangali family).excitement was doubled as i saw a pretty beautiful girl(literally she was a girl..vry young) now shewata made challenge with me that the girl was unmarried but i was telling her that she is married. now to verify this i was roaming around that girl to see whether she had put vermilion on her head or not!!! now does not it sound adventurous than trekking through forest.

Pic-6:

It was in Anshi National Park. we were staying there in Nature Camp(nothing but hang out place for people with handsome amount of money, projecting themself that see “how close im with nature”..in Banglai language”boroloki chal”)!now in that camp,inside the tent i was operating my laptop in the lamp(which  run by kerosin oil ) light.it reminded me of my home in my village where i used ti operate my radio in my childhood in the lamp light..from radio to laptop..nothing can better capture my transformation…thats why it is no six pic.

Pic-7:

it could be the lunch at Vanvasi Nursery(15 km away from Circi).now why is it so special..imagine a scene..in open area..we were sitting on the chair table..along with ACF and his stuff..pure north indian style food(not to mention.great chicken) are being served to us..and the food and the chair table were brought in a truck specially for us..this was the USP of our trip..Royal Treatment(except few places)…thats why it is no 7!

Pic-8:

It is really hard to explain for me why this pic is all about but from inside of my heart it is very important to mention. it was an afternoon in Circi.all had gone to market and i was alone. now i went to the bus stand alone..there i eat something and drink tea..the feeling there was quite amazing.i was thinking that it would be my life after one year when i will be working in unknown place..people dnt me,me perhaps dnt know that local language…strange feeling.thats why it is no no 8.

Pic-9:

All the above picture was soumik centered na..its unfair..me was so close to nature still no picture of nature.so last two will be nature centered.pic 9 will be rainbow on jog fall.yea i was in jog fall and we went absolute nadir point of jog fall and when we were climbing up then the sunlight showed its beauty over jog fall by creating spectacular rainbow…at least three rainbow on three separate fall..amazing scenic beauty..really feast to eyes.

Pic-10:

It could be anything..me doing white water rafting in beautiful kali river(this river is mysterious like u dear) or banana riding or dolphin ride again on kali river.

Lot more picture coming in mind…thanks Karnatak..for such wonderful experience…nice people..nice food..nice guest house..all are nice!

Karnataka Diary

The heading of the post is taken from great Santosh Singh’s blog( now if he read this he will comment “Dear i m nt Sir..im Santosh Simple Singh..so forget it) .

Day Zero:

We start our journey in grand style..get seat in train with two doors in both side,so much air coming thru this doors its like air conditioner, having attached bathroom and basin is right above our bed..bed is made of newspaper..and we took food dere also..actually we dnt had our “reservation” and we don’t have any Arjun singh to shout for us ..so his colleague Mr.Lalu & co took great care of us but our joy(?) was compensated by the natural beauties of the sides of Konkan railways.we reached Karwar station at 10:30 P.M

Day One:

Karwar..a small port city of Karnatak..but when i was in IIFM..i thought Karwar or it will be Kerwa(those are in IIFM..the must know Kerwa..specially after the introduction of adventure club…so many dangerous, life risking(!) activities are carried out there) but i was wrong..it was really nice place with the “SANGAM” of river and mountain.our rest house was in front of Kali river..its amazing place to take rest..in IIFM we use a word “DIN THELU”( that is spending the days idlely)..the place was worth for DIN THELU.

we went the beach…famous karwar beach..first time i saw a beach with so less people.Bt the interesting thing that there were hut artificially build beside the beach.and people spend  Rs.1950/– for staying dere for one day(my god..can u imagine indian spending 1950/– for one day stay and that also in hut…again i saw a boat house where people are spending 3000/– per head to spend a day on floating water in boat..ironically in that river where  the boat house was floating..as water level had come down due to low tide about 100 to 200 people were collecting ‘SHELL” to earn their livelihood in amidst of thick mud and in the knee height water standing hours after hours… what wrong if radical thought come to my mind..imagine what could u do with this money…giving to an old age home or orphan home..no we will not do that … then how we can say “INDIA SHINING”)..

we have great fun in sea. Then came back to our rest house and took rest.In the night good news came that the marriage of Vaibhab’s elder sister has been fixed and so he gave a grand party(not to mention  it was not dry at all, hard luck to Shweta and Kalpana..they had to tolerate IDLI and PAU BHAJI).The day one passed.

Day Two:

Our real field trip started from this day..early morning we had to pack our luggage and move to Yellapur, a forest division under Cirsi Circle.Actually it became Day of Public Transportation..we were moved to Karwatti,a forest sub division..we stayed in amidst of Jungle..in forest rest house..here we met Mr.Anand..nice person,helpful,simple living nd high thinking,done post graduation in agriculture..my subject..and he is preparing for IFS.

Day Three:

Day start with a cigarate and in breakfast we get Upma(a karnatak food).We visited forest depot,the highest revenue earning depot of Karnatak..saw a piece of teak wood costing six lakh.Lunch was amazing..real home feeling..i eat rice so eagerly after so many days..our caretaker Parshuram really cooks well.so dinner was also rocking.Mr Anand provided a cricket bat and we had good time playing cricket dere.Perhaps if Chappel saw us he would consider for inclusion of our instead Saurav Ganguly for our enthusiasm during playing.

Day Four:

Got up early(8:30am early compare to any holiday in IIFM) as we had to go to Nursery plant site with assistant forest conservator(ASF).our time was 10:30,but it is Indian Govt. official time..so 10:30am became 12:45 pm and Mr ASF proved that eternal saying”Common sense is very uncommon”.He took us to the nursery which is 1 hour away..and that is in Hungry stomach.We came back from there at 4 pm and had our lunch at 4(!).I dnt understood what was the problem if he took us that place after lunch.Seeing the plants i wished if i could eat those seedling in raw from(It also gave me lesson what people could  do for their Hungry stomach..very philosophical thought).Then we went to village forest protection camp which is a really new concept.these forest protection camps are made to stop theft of tree from the forest..villagers are voluntarily as well as on daily wages(by govt) work dere in amidst of jungle.really its cool experience.

Day Five:

The day was scheduled for visit to the tribal settlement..the tribe were “Gauri”.The visit was really amazing experience for all of us.Oh my god how enthusiastic and warm welcome those people gave us..they showed dance, take to a Dam(can u imagine 25 villagers are escorting us to the Dam).They took us in a ride in small boat dere also.These people were also very when they were taken photo..pure innocence.I will never forget this experience in my life.

Day Six:

It was really day of full masti..the day prove the crux of Field trip of IIFM.Every day we were having new experience and  we were really enjoying every moment.So much respect and warm welcome we were really receiving everywhere it is uncomparable to any thing.Its like we are “MINI IFS Officer” .First we were taken to DCF office by jeap and taken to the Magod falls by jeap..a very nice person was driving our jeap..his name is Santosh.Then real surprise came during lunch.we stopped at a hotel and taken our food as our last few days habit(Karnatak forest deptt. really changed our habit of taking food quantity)….when we went to pay our bill then we were told that it was paid by forest department…real treat by KFD.Magod falls was amazing..in Shewata’s language”ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC”.and it was also my first visit to any falls.so i enjoyed a lot.It may sounding that are we only having fun in field trip ..not learning anything…what can i do about this..this is all about field trip.our staying in Karwatti over that day.

Day Seven:

Its an another eventful day.As our day at kirwatti ended we thought of making it memorable by making our lunch our own.Great Abhishek sir was dere to cook for us.really he cook good food…had a great time in lunch..as it was im taking food in home.we packed our luggage and gone for Sirsi.Sirsi guest house was beautiful…bt i learn something out here after meeting with DCF of Sirsi…he really brain stormed us.

Day Eight:

today we visited Jog falls..yes the famous jog fall.we went to the nadir of falls and believe me it was really exhausting.

Day Nine:

Our work at Sirsi start wth visiting circle office of sirsi today.

Day Ten:

Today we visited a bamboo estate 25 km away from Sirsi..again same reception,,tea wth Good-day biscuit..perhaps karnataka govt had signed a MoU wth Britannia Biscuit ..lunch was a feast …rice,chicken and that also under shades of tree on table chair…really field trip had made us mini IFS officer.

Day Eleven:

we visited Bakkal Botanical Garden.though it is in preparation stage still the design and the scientific structure of the garden really wonderful.

Day Twelve:

The day to remember.we visited Doddamane Forest Guest House..the most beautiful location i have ever seen my life…the Forest IB(Inspection Banglow)is situated at the top of a hillock and inside the forest.in front of it the magnificent view of the Western Ghat,one of the two biological hotspot of India.Really if i am not studying in IIFM i would never see this place in my life.we stayed here for one day.Here i also eat FISH.

I have lost patients…so i am not been able to write about rest of the days. Sorry dear forgive me.
