Sparsh
IIM Bangalore
Ever wanted to help the boy you saw rummaging the trash to make a living? Ever
wanted to make things easier for the disabled? Ever wished you could change things,
given the opportunity? If your answer is yes, then Sparsh is your chance to make it
happen. Sparsh is one of the pioneering efforts of Vista to bridge the gap between the
brains and the hands of the society. This event gives the participants an opportunity to
work closely with a NGO in India and solve its real problems. A remarkably difficult set
of constraints force the contestants to think creatively, innovate and solve some of the
most pressing issues faced by the NGOs. This event goes beyond the air-conditioned
rooms and the lush surroundings into the dust and grime of the real world and helps
you make a difference.
