Thrown Out of The Box!!!
2. The Story of Boxy
This is my story. The story of a guy who lived inside a
box. The box was my comfort zone. I was working
and earning a decent pay. Perfect life you'd say! But
as my dreams grew, the box became suffocating. The
boundaries became restricting. I started struggling. I
couldn't take it any longer. I decided to choose a path
that was opposed, criticized but unorthodox. And as
soon as I did that, I found, I was thrown out of the
box.
Welcome to the story of MICA PGP CME students,
each of whom imbibes the struggle and ambitions of
Boxy. A glance through the placement brochure to
understand some out-of-the-box facts about these
MICA talents.
Boxy is known as Danbo in the real world and is a character conceptualized
by Amazon.com. We have utilized it as Boxy here only for educational purposes
in order to convey our theme and idea to various employers.

18. Education is essential, but we all know practical
experience is a must. This is exactly what the course

come up or are coming up soon. A look at what CME

peek at some of the exciting ventures at CME
Srujanika is a project initiated by a team of highly
motivated individuals aimed at making a significant
Outwork
difference in the field of education in India.
A major cause of concern in the Indian public
education system is its low quality of delivery, and
improper pedagogy, insipid syllabus which hampers
in lost of children's interest. We believe, this can be
alleviated if we bring in more creative methods to
educate the children in schools. This is the base on
which project Srujanika was developed. Srujanika is
intended to improve the standard of education in
the underprivileged part of India.
Apart from that this project is intended to look at the
opportunity in schools for film animation and media
education as a part of the curriculum. This will help
in developing skilled and creative resources in
different parts of India, which can match the quality
of world class animated product.
