    AboutTAPMI

    T.A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI) was established in 1980 and its PGDM

    programme was inaugurated in 1984. TAPMI is one of the few institutes to be ac-

    credited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with five

    stars and by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) of the All India Council for

    quiring AACSB accreditation and consistently ranks among the premier Business

    Schools in India.

    In the twenty nine years of its existence, TAPMI has developed a reputation of

    having one of the most rigorous management programmes in the country. The insti-

    tution strives to foster in its students continuous learning, achievement-

    orientation, creative interdependence and respect for diversity along with a holistic

    concern for ethics, the environment and society.

    Atharva, the annual management festival of TAPMI, attracts the finest

    talent from business schools as well as from the corporate world. It tests the

    skill, knowledge, acumen, strength and perseverance of participants with nu-

    merous management games and a plethora of informal events that keep the

    campus abuzz for three rocking days and nights.

    Atharva 2009-10 was a defining year for the decade old festival in more

    ways than one. The festival achieved new heights by including international

    participation from a reputed international college: Sheffield Hallam, UK. Last

    year also marked the beginning of Pre-Atharva, a host of games and eventsplanned and designed exclusively for TAPMI students.

    The corporate associations for Atharva 2009-10 included well known

    names like Hungama.com, TVS, HUL, Parle Agro, Nestle & Radio Mirchi 98.3

    FM. It witnessed participation of over 350 students from 75 B-schools includ-

    ing 1 international school and gave away prizes worth over Rs. 6 lakhs. The

    figures stand testament to the scale and appeal of the phenomenon that is

    Atharva.

    The world today is one devoid of balance and harmony. Corporate affairs and

    actions are based on false premises and false goals leading to crippling disillusion-

    ment. The consequences are pollution, environmental destruction and their social

    counterparts, emotional turmoil, war and hatred.

    Consciousness of the human mind evolves through dissatisfaction. Innate dis-

    pleasure with the status quo induces man to search for alternatives. The business

    world is slowly waking up to the implicit realization that mutual interdependence

    and sustainable living are the way to achieve our common goals and find harmony.

    They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change themyourself

    -Andy Warhol

    At Atharva we applaud the courage to veer from the beaten path. We want to

    contribute to the development of ideas and celebrate this new-found conscious-

    ness. Atharva 2011 strives to seek Alternatives.

    We thus invite the brightest of minds to work with us in our crusade for

    change, to leave the easy comfort of passive behavior behind and to join us in our

    effort to make a difference!
