SHILLONG: The faculty and the students of IIM Shillong paid homage to Manjunath Shanmugam on his tenth death anniversary which fell on November 19 by conducting a candlelight march.
Like every year, IIM Shillong joined hands with the Manjunath Shanmugam Trust to undertake the pledge of integrity to fight corruption.   Over 100 students gathered together to participate in the march and offer their heartfelt condolences and respect to this great personality. The march was preceded by a speech which eulogized Manjunath Shanmugam as a true inspiration. This was followed by a pledge of commitment taken by the students to uphold integrity at any cost and not succumb to corruption. The students then set off on the candle march from IIM Shillong Campus to the church in Nongthymmai where the candles were placed around a large photo of Manjunath followed by a minute of silence.
Manjunath Shanmugam was an alumnus of IIM Lucknow who was murdered on November 19 , 2005 by a petrol pump owner and his seven accomplices for sealing a corrupt petrol station in Lakhimpur Kheri, UP.
Through this endeavour, students of IIM Shillong, took a vow to honour integrity and fight corruption.
