The night of March 31, 2007, was a memorable one for all Navodayans as the head teachers and some selected students of Halifax Cluster (UK) visited the school as part of an international programme UKIERI (United Kingdom and India Educational Research Initiative).

There was a small reception party where the guests were garlanded by the students of our school and welcomed in the traditional style. We also got a chance to interact with them and learn more about their institution. The next night was as glamourous as it was colourful, as a cultural show depicting the rainbow culture and society of our state as well as of our country was organised in honour of the visitors. The Bihu dance of the Assamese, the Bamboo dance of the Mizos, the Mishing and Satriya dances were much appreciated by the audience.

The style quotient

Globsyn Business School launched the Globsyn Business School Management journal in style on March 14, 2007, at the Calcutta Club. The chief guest of the occasion was Prof. Suranjan Das, pro vice-chancellor of Calcutta University. As part of the programme, a colloquium on the Role of Management Research in Creating Business Excellence was organised.

Speaking on the occasion, Bikram Dasgupta, chairman and CEO of Globsyn Technologies, said, “The Knowledge Finishing School System, conceived and implemented by Globsyn, has, over the years, created skilled candidates for both new and old economy sectors. And this journal will serve as the platform for exchange of data.” It was followed by an informal discussion over cocktails and dinner.
