OTHER IMPORTANT EVENTS AND CELEBRATIONS

“Women’s participation in leadership roles is not a
man against woman issue; rather, there is a need for
a women’s voice in leadership positions in the fields of
environment, sustainability, and management.”
In his concluding remarks and vote of thanks, Coordinator
(Academics & Research) Prof. Amit B. Chakrabarti
thanked Dr. B. R. L. Row for his contribution to IIMV.

He concurred with Professor Ligy Philip’s proposal to
increase women’s participation in leadership roles and
commended her for her great insights regarding the
establishment of the permanent campus. He concluded
by expressing appreciation for the efforts of the Project, Administration, and the IT team.

“It’s really inspiring to know individuals like Vani Row who had a hunger for knowledge and wanted to
grow. We’ll try to strive hard and make sure that we contribute to our society and the institute that is
providing us with the opportunities to grow and know about the individuals like Vani Row” – noted Amitoz
Kumar, a PGP-1 Student.
Ms. Vani Row, a graduate of IIM Ahmedabad, was a successful consultant and investment banker in India
and the United States who unfortunately succumbed to cancer at an early age. Dr. B. R. L. Row donated a
generous contribution to the institute so that girl students have access to quality education. In memory of

his daughter, Dr. B. R. L. Row made a generous contribution of INR 2 Crores to IIMV for the establishment
