The art of giving-Gold Medal Institution@ISiM and Dr. Chudamani s generosity
by Shalini Urs 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hello friends, Art of Giving is the buzzword today, especially since the recent visit of Warren Buffet, Bill and Milinda Gates to India. I wanted to share our own example of small acts of giving which are as meaningful as the big ones. I call it as the Long Tail of Giving. Chris Anderson made the Long Tail popular espousing it as the new business model of the Internet era and a buzzword. The Long Tail phenomenon also applies to the Art of Giving. Here is an exemplar. Dr. K.S. Chudamani, Deputy Librarian of the Indian Institute of Science (an alumna of the University of Mysore and a student of mine) called me couple of weeks back and shared her desire to institute a Gold Medal at ISiM in the memory of her recently diseased mother. Her munificent contribution of INR 50,000 was short of the required amount for the endowment. So I decided to use the Long Tail model to raise the remaining INR 50,000. ISiM students and alumni came forward and contributed towards the deficit and I am happy to announce the institution of the Parvathamma Subbaraya Gold medal for the top scorer of our M. Tech in Information Systems and Management Program. I take this opportunity to thank Chudamani for her munificent contribution towards this cause and also ISiMians for chipping in. I also would like to thank Prof V. G. Talawar, Vice Chancellor of University of Mysore, for his support and help in making this happen. --- The Parvathamma Subbaraya gold medal will be given to the following two students at the University of Mysore Convocation on April 10, 2011 1. Nabhajit Ray 2. Nikesh. N. --- The ISiM Graduation Celebrations is scheduled on April 11, 2010 at 4.00 PM and following is the Program: Chief Guest: Shri.
