ANTERPRERANA
Anterprerana is a platform for the entrepreneurs to express innovative ideas for providing healthcare to the unreached and remote parts of nation. Here is a call to stand up to the challenge to organize resources in new and more valuable ways to deliver healthcare.
Theme for this year:
“Innovative Health care delivery models”
To cater effectively to the billion-plus population is a real tough task. We need effective and sustainable innovations to reach the unreached population.
Various enterprises such as telemedicine have proved to be effective venture in the healthcare delivery. Keeping in view the importance of effective health entrepreneurship models and the urgency to do so, we are inviting young entrepreneurs to come up with practical, feasible and sustainable plans/models, which can be utilized in the present system without a hitch and yet provide the necessary impetus for the achievement of equitable and egalitarian healthcare system.
The Literary Society is organizing an event called JAM (Just A Minute) this coming Friday, Nov 27, 2009 at the Conference Hall, Main Campus (6 pm onwards).
The object of the game is for participants to talk "for just a minute" on a given subject, "without repetition, hesitation or deviation". He/She will be given 15 secs to prepare and 45 secs to speak. Within the speech, he/she has to observe the rules without which he/she can be challenged and stopped from speaking by his/her opponents. The last person speaking when the bell goes gets the point.
To speak for the full minute without being challenged is extremely difficult, and meritorious when achieved.
Sample of topics...
"If fishes could fly..." "If elephants had wings..." "The glass is half full..." etc etc
