         Thrown Out of The Box!!!
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

Education is essential, but we all know practical
          experience is a must. This is exactly what the course
          aims to achieve by encouraging its students to start
          on-campus ventures and work on their ventures
          post their daily routine classes. As a result, we have
          some excellent ventures that have either already
          come up or are coming up soon. A look at what CME
          students do to outwork themselves and challenge
          themselves with new ideas and ventures. A sneak
          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.

- Vivek Diwedi, Co-founder, Rural Connect




                              With 30 years of industry experience and being a PGDM from IIM, I find a major differentiator at MICA
                              starts from the admission process where we try to pick young minds who have capability of understanding
                              finer aspects of consumer thinking and developing holistic, creative communication and business solutions
                              MICA students have the edge by being able to find innovative out of the box solutions from time to time.
                              The CME students are very much at it and in no way lesser than anyone else. Their work experience in
                              some cases is of great advantage to their strategic thinking.

  • 18. Education is essential, but we all know practical experience is a must. This is exactly what the course aims to achieve by encouraging its students to start on-campus ventures and work on their ventures post their daily routine classes. As a result, we have some excellent ventures that have either already come up or are coming up soon. A look at what CME students do to outwork themselves and challenge themselves with new ideas and ventures. A sneak 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. - Amit Sahoo and Nirav ( Team Srujanika) MICA - PGPCME 15
