of this and that of SWAC-EC meetings

The flow of this post will be like this, I will start with the introduction of SWAC-EC then I will move into giving great insights about what exactly transpires behind the scenes and then will give some recommendations.

Aah the effect of too many presentations in class is quite visible on me. The great thing about this post is that year after year only 12 people of PGP2 batches knows what goes on in EC meeting. Now this blog is making it public. Oh I might have to hand over my resignation to SWAC-C for this heinous crime.

Anyways coming back to the topic, SWAC-EC consists of 11 people who are secretaries of various committees and a SWAC-C. Now these 11 Secys (jazzy word for secretary!) think that as they are heading the different committees they actually have some powers in the matter of institute and matters concerning the students, but if we look at the dictionary definition of secretary then secretary means “A person employed to handle correspondence, keep files, and do clerical work for another person or an organization”.

Ok I admit that I have picked the worst definition out of 6 available, but still this is definition yaar. Anyways noone from SWAC-EC including me is ready to buy this definition.

So when these People Representatives of IIM Indore starts their meeting they discuss all the important stuffs like why are bathrooms more stinking these days and how to make sure that attendance in lectures (guest one da…) remain healthy, which incidentally they also don’t attend. Some of the times, they also look at more pertaining issues like students (participants??) coming late to the hostels. I really appreciate the passionate views of my colleagues and their wish of changing the world and system in a day. Being quite close to administration and faculty I know that institute administration is very cooperative towards our requests, be it our request for giving some scope for missing (very few!!) lectures or extending the deadline of getting back to the hostels or asking for not to give harsh punishments to our friends for minor misdeeds.

Things particularly become interesting when one secy (jazzy word for secretary again) starts feeling that all other committees except his should be particularly efficient, so SportsCom feels that mess food is not particularly good hence performance in sports is on decline, MessCom feels that we are having too much of academic workload and people are not getting enough time to have their meals, MediaCom feels that they don’t know anything about placements to get them published in leading newspapers, AcadCom feels that AlumniCom is not giving them enough contacts of alumni so that they can convince them to start teaching as faculty leaving their 25 LPA job of MNC and the life goes on.

Now thoughts coming to my mind are less than the clothes wear by Mallika Sherawat, and also some Marketing Plan submission is their, aah another inefficiency of acadcom!!! . Guess its time to end the post.
