Nurturing Minds, an initiative of the students of IIM Shillong, aims at teaching and touching the lives of young, underprivileged students in the community, to facilitate better learning, foster self-development and improve academic performances. The initiative started on October 15, 2015, the birth anniversary of the late Dr. Kalam, with a mission to teach the underprivileged school children of IIM Shillong. Today, the event has blossomed into a movement, that schools in Shillong and Puriang. The objective of the program is to encourage learning and help nurture creativity among the students, just as Dr. Kalam had envisioned.
