INDORE MANAGER COMMEMORATIVE VOLUME ­ 2015 03 Coat of Arms It is rare that a NGO can create a legacy of 50 years of continuous meritorious service, as has been achieved by Indore Management Association (IMA) since 1963. To commemorate this historic milestone in the long successful journey of excellence, IMA has adopted a Coat of Arms as its identity, worthy of its legacy, acknowledging its accomplishment and portraying its philosophy for the future. The IMA ‘Coat of Arms’ consists of several parts, some of them are: Symbols: Tree: A full grown Banyan tree represents knowledge and immortality. It gives shelter to everyone, right from a small ant to a human being. It expands its canopy by growing special roots, thus increasing its area of influence. In the same way knowledge when passed on increases its sphere of guidance. The knowledge expands memory. Elephant: The Elephant symbolizes memory, wisdom and power. It has a large head and is a good listener. The Knowledge stored in memory helps to plan for the action. Wheel: The wheel is the symbol of continuous action. Action that is based on knowledge, is stored in the memory. Action brings us new opportunities and is the Key to Success. Key: Well planned action based on sound knowledge, stored into memory, brings better opportunities for us. The key opens new doors which take us into a better future. Once we step on a new path we acquire knowledge, expand memory that makes us more eligible to take a better action. This opens new doors and brings greater opportunities. All the elements are looped into the infinite movement and the catalyst is ‘Indore Management Association’ with 50 years of its experience. Sun: The Sun on top of the design denotes perpetuity of existence and is symbolic of positive growth. Colours: The colours used have their own importance: Purple: Purple is the colour of wisdom, knowledge and intelligence. Deep Blue: Deep Blue is the colour of reliability, trust and confirmation. All these elements are related to memory. Deep blue is the colour of space which is endless like memory. Orange: Orange is the colour of action and stimulation. Green: Green is the colour of life and growth. Henceforth, the ‘Coat of Arms’ symbol will become our identity in all our communication. We hope and wish that this identity will represent a better and glorious chapter in our sojourn, based on the solid foundation of our successful past. 04 INDORE MANAGER COMMEMORATIVE VOLUME ­ 2015 INDORE MANAGER COMMEMORATIVE VOLUME ­ 2015 05 Coat of Arms It is rare that a NGO can create a legacy of 50 years of continuous meritorious service, as has been achieved by Indore Management Association (IMA) since 1963.

  • The Saga of a Sage - Shiv Singh
    Gyankosh: An Interdisciplinary Journal ISSN : 2581-8252 Volume II, December 2019 THE SAGA OF A SAGE - SHIV SINGH Dr. Anju Bala “Engaged in work a day life, I wander in a dreamland of artistic creation: when in my bed I lie, I begin to sculpt, when I fall to sleep my sculpture is done and the destination I reached. Every day starts with a painting or a sculpture this setting out to unexplored regions, when the mysteries and wonders are revealed in completion, my destination is attained.” Shiv Singh Shiv Singh (b. 1938, village Bassi Gulam Hussain, Hoshiarpur - d. 2015, Panchkula) contributed in nurturing the art scenario of Chandigarh immensely. He was a bright alumnus of Govt. School of Art and Craft, Shimla who earned an international fame. He remained in touch with his mother land and his oeuvre gives the glimpses of the same. His sculptures are the expressions of the experiences of his life which he carved and sculpted on various mediums. For him Mother Nature was a great source of inspiration. Shiv Singh completed his education in art from Shimla and Chandigarh respectively. From 1958 to 1963 he studied in School of Arts and Crafts, Shimla but later when the School shifted from Shimla to Chandigarh in 1961 he also came to Chandigarh to complete his study in Government College of Art located in Sector 10 (at that time it was known as Government School of Art). While studying in Shimla he went through all the five sections of craft as the part of syllabus which were jewellery, wood work, metal ivory inlay, metal work and black smithy.1 He completed his diploma and immediately joined Sainik School in Kapurthala as an Art Teacher in 1963.

(Marks: 0) Saba Naqvi Madhu Trehan Shereen Bhan Patricia Mukhim The “Politics of Jugaad: The Coalition Handbook” has been authored by journalist Saba Naqvi. In it, the author examined the possibility of a coalition government after 2019 Lok Sabha polls. It traces the history of political alliances in the country taking into account their performance on economic and and social policies, among others. The book also makes a study of the Congress' "tryst with dynasty" with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra taking a plunge into active politics for the party helmed by her brother Rahul Gandhi. 2. The Belt and Road Forum (BRF - 2019) was recently held in which of the following Chinese cities? (Marks: 0) Tianjin Shanghai Beijing Hangzhou In China, the 2nd edition of Belt and Road Forum (BRF - 2019) was officially held in Beijing with theme “Belt and Road Cooperation: Shaping a Brighter Shared Future”. In it, 37 heads-of-state and 159 countries had participated along with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and International Monetary Chief (IMF) Christine Lagarde. The BRF is part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The aim of BRI is to reinvent the ancient Silk Road to connect Asia to Europe and Africa through massive investments in maritime, road and rail projects. The initiative offers to bring much-needed modern infrastructure to developing countries, but critics say it mainly favours Chinese companies while saddling nations with debt and causing environmental damage.
