About AIESEC liT Kharagpur

AIESEC liT Kharagpurwas founded in October 2008 as an Expansion of AIESEC Kolkata. Since its AIESEC in Numbers: inception we have been very active as a part of the AIESEC community.

AIESEC validates its organizational structure not only among students but even eclipsing the distinguished maestros of liT Kharagpur which include the support of distinguished professors, to enumerate a few, Dean of Students Affairs, Mr. Shouvik Bhattacharya, and Mr. S.K. Mahapatro and many more of such governing assets providing regular endorsements and advice to AIESEC to nurture its position in lIT Kharagpur.

Being a student organization in one of the most reputed institutes of India we aspire to not only sustain our present growth, but outclass every other Local Chapter in India in the coming years. AIESEC deems to enhance its universal and multidimensional spirit structure and with the present rate of growth, we expect to become the Most Progessive Local Chapter by the end of 201 1.

~The United Nations has long recognized that the ima gination, ideals and energies of young men and women are vital for the continuing development of the societies in which they live. AIESEC has contr ibuted to this development by serving as an agent of positive cha nge through ed ucation and cult ural e)(cha nge to develop a broader understanding of cultural, socio-economic and bus iness ma nagement issues ."

FROM THE

LOCAL COMMITTEE PRESIDENT 2010-11

AIESEC lIT Kharagpur was established in August 2008, and since then it has quickly taken its place

among the most competitive LCs in India. It is a one of a kind LC in terms of processes implemented.

It is innovative to the core and with the quality of manpower, it is well poised to become one of the best

Local Chapter in India.

I started my term with ambitious goals set for the LC and now when I look back, I can say that the last

year has been outstanding in terms of achievement. We have come a long way since we started, be it in

terms of exchange growth, visibility, recognition, membership or projects implemented.

The year started with the launch of Go Green Campaign during a Youth Marathon and we initiated the

first major project in the campaign - Energy Audit, focussed on not just learning but also implementa

tion. At the closure of the Audit, we were appreciated by the director of our institute, lIT Kharagpur,

with all AIESECers being awarded the institute medal of honour, a moment that all of us will remember

for long. As time progressed, there were many competitions started by AIESEC India, one such being

Rock Your Campus. We won that competition and created our mark at the national leveL Therefrom, at

JNC, we won the award for the Best Local Committee in Virtual Platform Utilization, despite being just

an expansion. Because of our achievements thus, we were invited for two of the major events of IC'lO,

India Night and Global Y2B. Our dream run did not end there. The next major project we took up was

Inter lIT Energy Saving Championship and led lIT Kharagpur to the 3rd position. Vision Green was yet

another milestone, wherein we witnessed the entire LC coming together and delivering one of the most

professional event in the history of AIESEC lIT Kharagpur. Just when I started thinking that this is it,

our term has witnessed all the grandeur and magnificence, there was Lcong'll, which, by far, is the

most endearing experience of my term. Towards the end of it, the members were all pumped up to

make lIT Kharagpur one of the best LC in India, and I was then rest assured that the future is in safe

hands.

Now the stage is all set for my successor, Shubhanshu, to take over this legacy and lead AIESEC lIT

Kharagpur to new heights. I wish him all my luck and expect him to deliver yet another landmark term.

FROM THE

LOCAL COMMITTEE PRESIDENT 2011-12

2010 has been an amazing year for everyone here at AI ESEC lIT Kharagpur as well as for the whole

AIESEC Network. We have impacted more lives and have given more than 13000 life changing experi~

ences worldwide. AIESEC lIT Kharagpur's has also been very instrumental in the 2010 positive

IMPACT on Society. We have done some innovative projects like the Energy Audit and Vision Green

which have been done for the first time in the AIESEC Network.

Also considering lIT Kharagpur, we have been able to impact the lives of more them 80 students by

giving them a great team experience. Some of the selected members also got a chance to experience the

Leadership Roles in AIESEC. Our members also got a chance to go out in the world and show their

mettle by working on IMPACTful projects in China and Russia.

This brings me to 2011. I am really happy to get an opportunity to lead such a fantastic membership of

this potential local chapter of AIESEC called AIESEC lIT Kharagpur. I feel we have lots of underutilized

opportunities of creating an impact on the society both in and around the campus. Also I see AIESEC

giving more leadership experiences to students from liT Kharagpur in 2011. We will aim at creating

more global citizens and also IMPACTful IITians.

2011 we plan to DREAM BIG and execute those Dreams.
